Standard Guide For Choking Victims


Step 1: To initiate choking, tilt victim's head back using heel of foot. Proceed to lodge foot in victim's mouth, removing any excess teeth, as these may impair steps 2, 3, and 4.


Step 2 Insert fist into mouth and probe for bronchial tubes. When found, grab tightly and pull out through nose.


Step 3 If no gagging sounds can be heard, administer 4 sharp blows to victim's larynx with heel of foot. Note: A purplish color on victim's face is desired as it indicates that choking is not entirely due to foot odor.


Step 4 If victim is still not choking, turn upside down and shake vigorously until spleen is lodged in throat.

IF VICTIM DOES NOT BEGIN TO CHOKE REPEAT THIS 4-STEP SEQUENCE. DO NOT GIVE UP!
