This piece of information is good but you should have supported it with diagrams or pictures.

Or videos

Thank you, I've watched that done before. Some people naturally have the impulse to know what to do in an emergency situation and some people are just too confused to do anything or the right thing.

You are not to pat the child's back ooo, I believe hitting the child between the shoulder blades is the proper technique and whatever you do, do not insert your fingers into the child's mouth you'll end up pushing the object further down the child's throat and complicate issues. My own piece.

My dad impressed me the day he did the heimlich maneuver on my sister. She was choking and while momsy was panicking, Dad walked calmly to where my sister was, did the maneuver and the piece of bone choking her fell out of her mouth

.

Nice info ,picture or video demonstration will go along way so i decided to go and search for a video myself .

Thanks for this wonderful thread OP.

The lives of our kids is all that matters.

Let's assume you did the "A" part, you tried your best, but the kid couldn't make it. The kid died.

Now, the parent opt for autopsy, after the autopsy they finds out that he was choked, and hand touches over his body.

They went for scanning, they scan the finger print and compare it to the ones they have on their system.

After that, it brings out your detail, and you are summoned.




See, better use brain if you wanna do something.

We leave our kids at daycare, secure in the knowledge they’ll be looked after well. But apparently, this is not always the case. Heartwrenching preschool CCTV footage has emerged of a 4-year-old boy choking to death at school, all alone during lunchtime. “Why didn’t a teacher come to his rescue?” sobbed the mother’s boy

September 10 was a normal day for a kindergarten class in Hunan, China. The teacher on duty at mealtime made one critical and life-threatening mistake: She went away, leaving the little ones eating lunch on their own. Soon, one of the boys begins choking on his meal. The CCTV footage shows the boy is suffocating, as he tries to remove the food stuck in his mouth by coughing non-stop.

The child did not receive any help for 3 minutes. His classmates – too young to understand the gravity of the situation – are oblivious to the little one’s suffering. The footage then continues, showing the teacher coming back to the table. She tries to help the child extract the cake that was choking him but to no avail.

Immediately after that, the teacher can be seen hurrying the boy to a hospital. The journey took 8 minutes, but unfortunately, the boy could not be saved in time. The kindergarten school has taken full responsibility for the unfortunate episode after thoroughly discussing it over with the victim’s parents.

HOW TO STOP A CHILD CHOKING
The choking child can appear conscious or unconscious – and you should act accordingly depending on how they appear. Here are guidelines from the National Healthcare System UK on how to act if you see a child over one-year-old choking. Remember, these short tips may not seem much, but they can potentially help you save a life.

(A). IF THE CHILD IS STILL CONSCIOUS
-- Place the child facing downwards on your lap OR help sit up while leaning forward.
-- Pat his back five times.
If these back blows don’t help at all, apply the Heimlich Maneuver. This technique involves giving hard pushes towards the abdomen, which can help remove the object stuck in the child’s throat. The steps are to:
-- Stand or keep your knees down, facing the child’s back.
-- Tighten your hand into a fist place it between the navel and ribs.
-- Grab onto your fist with your free hand while still having both around the abdomen, then pull them both inwards and upwards.
-- Continue doing this action up to 5 times.

*Note that too much force may damage the lower ribcage, so do take caution.

Once the technique has been applied, evaluate the situation. Has the object been removed? If it hasn’t been expelled while the child is clearly aware, continue the Heimlich Maneuver. Always stay by the child’s side.

Even if the object has been expelled and the child isn’t suffocating, it is still best to consult a medical professional to evaluate his condition.

(B). IF THE CHILD IS UNCONSCIOUS
-- Lay them down onto a hard, flat surface.
-- Attract attention and call for help. Use your phone to notify the emergency hotline.
-- Open the child’s mouth. If you can clearly see an object that’s stuck and can be retrieved, try and take it out.
-- Apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation by giving the child a few breaths.
-- Always stay by the child’s side.

We are very sorry for the mother’s loss of her son. It’s a death that certainly could have been prevented had the responsible adults known what to do.

Giving pictorial representation will do some good you know.

May it never be our portion in Jesus name.

But showing us pictures on how to perform the procedure would have been better.

Most times when I see posts like these, I always feels it is inadequate without attaching a video of the steps so that it can be easily grasped.

Theoretical narration isnt good enough.

Offpoint:
Fufu lump once choked when I was 3, at 3 I was swallowing lumps the size a 30 years adult hard labourers do swallow.

I was suffocating, while I was at the point of death... I saw a huge pot of hot egusi soup and a large bowel of Fufu with 12 angels surrounding it and singing "Welcome, welcome, welcomeeeeee to heaven's of Fu-fu-fuuuu lovers".

that moment I knew I was in heaven, as I was just a foot away from that delicious food.... my mom revived me back, still hasn't forgiven her till date.

Fada Lawd! Lwkmd!!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece

When my baby was abt 3months, I was bathing her and she sniffed the soap, she couldn't breath well and was choking, I was so sacred that I started shouting on top of my voice for help..no one came.i had just a wrapper on me and that was how I rushed her to the hospital on a bike...the doctor just took her by the leg and started beating her...it wasn't funny at all..I just thank God I still have my jewel with me here ..she will be four months on Sunday...As parents we just have to be extra ordinarily careful

This is exactly the kind of maneuver that Nigeria needs

In those days when we had german made English language television programmes, 'First Aid' was a staple for me in addition to the Bundesliga and Telematch. Unfortunately everything these days is all entertainment. Educative and general knowledge programmes are hidden away even on cable tv.

The problem with First Aid knowledge is that unlike riding a bicycle or driving a car, it doesn't stick to ones mind. Without serious incident lessons are soon forgotten. I used to know the whole range of First Aid measures and it saved colleagues while in the military. Today that skill is gone.... unfortunately.

seun shared this comment but what is he doing about the useless topics on the front page?

Tenses:
If only nairaland could always be so educative instead of the usual tasha, tonto and other rascality with no informative content.

Every teachers or nannies in daycare or kindergartens should be taught this simple but effective lifesaving techniques.

Thanks Ladycewhy. You are a precious jewel.
