10 First Aid Steps to Takes For Major Burns

Stand behind the choking person, wrap your arms around their waist, and make a fist with one hand. Place your thumb against the middle of the person’s abdomen, above the navel, and grab your fist with your other hand. Give quick, inward and upward thrusts to help dislodge the object blocking the airway. Repeat until the object is cleared.

4. Perform CPR (if necessary)

If the person becomes unconscious, lower them to the ground and start CPR immediately, beginning with chest compressions. Open the mouth and look for any visible objects. If an object is visible, use your fingers to carefully remove it.
