Conscious Child Choking
www.ProCPR.org If a child is choking and conscious, signs include looking panicked, blue color around the lips, and the inability to talk, cough, or breathe. The child may do the universal choking sign with hands around their throat. Ask if the child needs help. Get to the level of the child by kneeling or sitting, and raise their elbows. Place one hand with thumb tucked in against the abdomen, above the bellybutton, and grab your fist with the other hand. Perform abdominal thrusts until the object is clear or the child becomes unconscious. Video created by ProTrainings.

I watched this video a while back and it saved my baby today. She's two and was choking in a resturaunt and I was able to move swiftly and with confidence. Thank you just does not convey the depth of my gratitude for you sharing this information in such a clear and concise manner.
Katrina Briggs didn’t ask
That must've been terrifying, thank you for sharing something so emotionally sensitive! I'm glad your daughter is safe and doing well
My family just held me upside down and shook me. I guess it worked...
Well done!
@@malefantasy4554 may karma be with u
The reason why I'm watching this (as an 11-year-old child) is because 2 minutes ago my younger brother choked, and I panicked and I didn't know what to do. I was in tears because I thought he was going to die. I'm still in shock that my beautiful younger brother almost died. Trust me, you think u really hate your siblings and think they're the worst, but once you come to a near-death experience you realise how much you love and care for them. (my 13-year-old sister was babysitting)
I feel ya there.
Izaiah Florés that is totally true they can be annoying but when the they near dead u panicked in cry
If you’re really 11, you employ better grammar than most journalists.
AverageMoroccan do you are saying 11year olds can’t write you sound dumb
@@mohcinebouhya does that seem not believable?
2:13 🎬 Great acting skills 😲
i know right XD
Two days ago I had to perform this on my 4-year old daughter choking on a grape. Feel free to make all kinds of funny comments you want, but afterwards please DO familiarize yourself with this technique. This is one of the simplest yet most worthy things to know as a person.
Im Chocking From Grapes Right Now
its no laughing matter at all im glad your child is ok i choked lastnight and nearly died.
Panagiotis Eliopoulos this is a serous video i cant believe this ignorant person got 79 likes for his not funny comment
RagEpicYT Plays lol
If anyone feels the need to joke about someone on the verge of death, it says a lot about them, not you. I find this information very useful, having 2 young daughters of my own, one of which, is also of Greek descent 😉
This girl is like "all around me are familiar...faces.."
This...this is bad. But hilarious. Nice one.
@@Msh4rky om8kllmmmm LET 6
I think my son may have written an incomprehensible reply to this comment... he really likes 80's music so it makes sense, aside from the fact that he is only 19 months
I’m a 15 year old and I as watching my 4 year old niece outside she started choking on a mint that her cousin gave her, I panicked myself but quickly jumped into action. Thanks this video is a life saver. Literally
That’s bs
Bssss
it's an atrocity that this isnt taught in school, my mother almost chocked to death on a hard candy and i just kind of did what i thought the heimlich manouver might be
Did it work?
Dude my mom almost died from a freaking carrot and I had no clue what to do
Watching this for PE right now
Great acting by the little girl. Good job!
She does not look like she doesn't wanna be there. She looks like she's been instructed to keep a straight face, and is trying not to smile or laugh. Props on you or making these awesome, life saving videos! You're doing great work, the both of you!
You do not sound like a hypocrite
Average bloodborne player, thinking any kid will be enthusiastic about performing in a first aid video
@@davidabdollahi7906 you do not look like you aren't a sexy mf
She really looks like she dosent want to be there
Sarah Velez right
سلام سیدعلیرضا سیدی هستم فیلم بسیار زیبا است.
😂😂😂😂
Well yeah, she's choking.
Probably his daughter. That little eye roll she did makes me think that’s her dad 😆
The girl...lol...priceless facial expressions. I think shes thinking " man, after this, I'm getting my pony. . Couple minutes..."...
Interesting how people find time to make funny or rude comments about this video. This could have saved a two years old's life if the mother knew what to do. Thank you very much. I really appreciate that you took the time to make a video like this.
Thank you, so much Every parent should know this.
Wonderful presentation. I am a First Responder and always come here just to refresh my memory
I'm glad these videos are here. Thanks.
Thank you very much for making and posting this.
Thank you for your instructional videos. Very helpful.
I’m starting babysitting today and I’m watching all sorts of these kinds of videos just in case something bad happens and she starts to choke and stuff so this is very very handy.
Awesome
Thanks so much for this video!! I SURE will show this to my girls!!!!
Im babysitting a 2 year old tomorrow so thanks for letting me prepare
Hey people pay attention.. She's doing fine and a volunteer.. Focus on the tips the man is giving.. Yes, great acting..Oscar worthy!
Helpful information. And I thought the girl acted quite well too.
This is actually helpful cuz that's the EXACT same position my little bro was in when he was choking! I didn't know what to do, but thank god my other brother did!
This is really good. We appreciate you guys doing it with no garbage.
I have had to intervene with choking once and it is a scary situation for all involved. I was at a barbecue with some friends and one of them began grabbing at their throat. I asked if they was OK and got no response. Asked if they could cough and they couldn't. Thankfully I only needed a few hard hits between the shoulder blades with the butt of my hand. They began coughing and spat out the beef they were chocking on. It was all because I remembered basic first aid from when I was at school and some local paramedics did a presentation. Every job I have had since I always ask to be put forward for first aid training and keep up to date on new ways to do things. Thankfully since that first incident I have only ever had to help with some minor bleeding and a broken wrist but I always want to be prepared just in case
Thanks goodness i’m watching these, I have been watching how to do it to myself, cat, dog, and now children. I am grateful I know this stuff!
Thank you ProCPR I had went life saving courses twice but the person who had taught us did not show how to save kids below 12 years old we had only seen through the book only.
I think she was a good actress. Good job
Thank u for ur dedication love u ❤️❤️❤️
THKU
Great info. I'm finding that the subtle differences how you treat children and adults can make a big difference.
This is really important stuff, so thank you for this. A little more light hearted: That little girl looks so done with this. It's like she's saying "Ugh oh my god liek could you NOT UGH!!!"
Everyone needs to watch this
Thanks for this
سلام ممنون از برنامه آ آموزنده شما
Just experienced this with my 3 year old chocking on a toy scariest moment ever! Thank you
That girls so adorable lol little actress she did her unconscious fall so graceful
Thank you!
her face
Hmm, don’t you just hate when your choking and the person saving you is talking to a camera
Thanks sir
Bro if I was to look this up right when at child was choking she'd be dead by the time you finally finish so thank you for your video sir
That is ridiculous bro I just was the into that right now in wow definitely a kid would been dead if they watched your video right now if they needed that help right then
Literally 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Looks exactly like dad
I think it is her father
she looks so excited to be part of this video
Awesome tips
How hard should the motion be?
I feel like I need to watch this. Hopefully I'll never have to do this.
Are you choking are you choking lol
No reply, must be fine, alright have a good day *person falls down" what a drama queen ^
Maybe that's why they developed the universal sign for choking! a simple head shake wasn't going to do it. Silence gets you nowhere. and it's funny I actually choked on a grape or several grapes at the exact same age as the girl in the video it looks like anyway and it was horrifying and you do automatically put your hands around your throat it's just natural and there's none of this looking around starting to get panicked stuff the adrenaline and panic hit the roof in 5 seconds and it was just sheer insane panic when I couldn't breathe at all and I flew down a flight of stairs and found a parent the end in record time I can't I don't even know how fast it was just insane and my Dad tried to CPR on the Heimlich on me for a while and that wasn't working but my aunt came out and with one thrust it dislodged. Don't ever put grapes in your mouth. Uh...i meanI mean don't let children put many of them in their mouth
that girl is so cute .... nice video by the way helpful stuff !! thanx
Performed that manuver on a child that was chocked, turned him upside head down facing away from me and applied quick pressure about 3-4 times dislodging obstruction (witnessed my dad do this to a younger brother) it worked then, so I did it instinctively
thank you
asking them if theyre choking tells you about the severity of the situation.. mild choking (mild blockage; person can still speak) can be intervened by asking the person to cough the foreign body out.. if it doesnt work, back blows might help.. what this guy is showing is if the person is experiencing severe choking where you have to do the heimlich.. hope that helps and hope you wont have to do it.. (source: nhs) ✌
All teachers need to watch
Thanks, that's really helpful. what are difference between'' abdominal thrusts'' and ''chest thrusts'' ?
abdominal thrust are just above the navel, chest thrusts are on the center of the chest, where you would perform chest compression. Chest thrusts are used for younger children (babies) and adults who are larger or pregnant.
The letters
Awesome. thanks!
kid is havin a great time
This good to know.
great video.....
i just love the last part when the girl fakes fainting. it is so original hahaha. so funny!!!
Thanks
Is this still the right thing to do or did procedures change? I mean, the video is 11 years old
Thx
"Ask your child if he or she is choking"
ya a that is a dope vine
ya a 'ya no way'
OK, I LITERALLY THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA CHOKE A CHILD FROM THE TITLE..
I don't know what made me laugh more: the kid on the video or the comments below
Lmaooo is that his daughter because she looks absolutely fucking over it 😂 She was about to strangle herself right then with the “universal sign for choking” Like damn I hope she got hella allowance that week. Also this was 11 years ago, I bet she finds it fucking hilarious.
She's like, "Oh, so it's grapes this time." Thanks for the vid, looks easy.
Always cut the grapes!!! My son choked on a grape when he was 5 I was terrified thank God my Army veteran exhusband jumped over the couch and did the stomach thrusts and it popped out. I think every adult should be trained,every child too.
Are they still choking if they are coughing? Yesterday (July 13, 2020) my 3.5 yr old nephew started choking but also coughing. I got really nervous. I told him to spit it out on the plate. Then I told him, "Here drink from your juice". What was surprising was that my mom and her daughter in law (not the kid's mom) just kept going on with their conversation like nothing was happening. Fortunately, I rescued my nephew!
As the eldest child of my family, I'm often left in charge of my younger brothers. Thought it might be important to learn.
Thanksssss
Some videos/sources are saying to give 5 back blows first. I'm confused.
The child is a really good actor. Lol
That girl be like "why are we still here just to suffer"..
Are you choking?
love the panicing really hits the panic butting :)
Just reading some comments and found out how dangerous grapes are I'm sticking to strawberries 😅
"Are you chocking, are you choking???"
So he did that so she becomes unconscious
Did he knock her out?!?!
What about an 18 lb one year old?
😂😂her acting is so cute.
what if.we found.a.breathing.? what shall we do?
SHE KILLED HER!!!!!! *FIERED*
Choking isn't a pretty experience.
Andrea Patane it sure isn't I was chocking and my mom saved me and I was shaking and I didn't eat for the rest of the day
So would do you do this same maneuver with a 2 year old who's choking?
sonerscorner two years old is kind of on the cusp between this method or laying them lengthwise down your leg and giving back blows (the infant method). My daughter is really small for her age and I hadn’t familiarized myself with the methods for older children so I performed the back blow method. She got to the point where she was blue in the face but eventually it dislodged the liquid that was holding her epiglottis down (it was a syrup consistency liquid vitamin). Anyway after that I went and got recertification for pediatric cpr because no matter how many times you watch these videos it’s so hard to recall the information when you’re in the middle of a crisis!
ARE YOU CHOKING!? ARE YOU CHOKING!?
the title is golden memeterial
she must be a college student by now
I just wanted to watch this
Poor Susan 😥
same
When I was camping I choked on a grape. My dad had to pat my back really hard and it just came out of my system and not my throat and on my mouth. I was 2 years old and it was in my camper.
Thank you I gave my 5 yr old lil brother a jolly rancher and I wanted to know how to save him if he started chocking
So let me get this straight? You gave you're litrle brother a jolly rancher candy to see if he would choke? Are you insane? What if you're brother had chokes and you couldnt do anything to help him? Did you're mother drop you on you're head when you were born? You're a soecial kind of stupid arent you?
Sandra Brown No I gave it to him by accident my mom took it out of his mouth but this video helped if he DID start choking
"Between the ages of one and the first signs of puberty." How human of you
Try this it works. 😇🐬😇🐬😇
Good i love it 😍😍😍😘😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️♥️💞💞💞❣️❣️💖💗💋💋
Good
I thought this would be the original video for ask a child if he or she is choking vine.
It's like... Eleven years ago
