Stand or kneel behind a conscious child 3. Wrap your arms around the child 4. Make a fist with one hand and place the thumb side of the fist against the belly, placing it directly above the belly button 5. Cover the fist with your other open hand. 6. Deliver five upward and inward thrusts into the child’s abdomen. The thrusts should quickly squeeze in the abdomen to help the child “cough out” the obstruction. 7. Check the child after every five thrusts. 8. Continue the abdominal thrusts until the object comes out or the child becomes unconscious. 9. If the child becomes unconscious, call for emergency medical services. - In loving memory of JT Bartolomeo I AM ONLY ONE VOICE.
