Video at a Glance
- You see an adult choking on food and initially confirm that he can still breathe or speak.
- When the man can no longer speak and his lips turn blue, you administer abdominal thrusts from behind.
- Upon becoming unresponsive, he is laid down, and you start 30 chest compressions to help dislodge the obstructing item.
- No object is seen in his mouth, so you attempt two rescue breaths.
- EMS arrives soon after, taking over care and transporting the man to the hospital.
