If the patient is particularly obese, rescuer's hands should not be placed around the patient's abdomen. At this time, we should employ chest compression. The method is to touch the patient's rib arch with the middle finger of one hand and find the heart socket of the patient upward. Make a fist with one hand and put it in the middle of the patient's sternum. Hold the hand of the fist with the other hand, and make a impact straight back.

If there is no one else nearby to help in case of airway obstruction, patients can try self-rescue.

First, you can stand behind the chair or corner of the table and squeeze with the back of the chair or corner of the table, which can also help to get foreign matter out of the airway.

If an adult lost consciousness after inhaling foreign body, resucer should ride on his or her both sides of the patient's hip, place the palm root of one hand directly under the patient's rib frame and superimpose the other hand on the previous one. Then don’t push forward and downward to press the patient's back neck until the obstruction is removed.

Experts remind

When applying correct methods to deal with family sudden accident, do not panic and try to be brave, careful and prioritize the whole thing and execute first aid decisively. However, first aid is only an emergent measure before the arrival of professionals. Although it can win the best time for patients to be rescued, it is important to rely on professionals to save patients' lives. So in the emergency treatment of patients, do not forget to call first aid so that the patient won’t miss the best rescue time.
