In responsive Adult or child that is Chocking

use abdominal thrust (Heimlich maneuver) repeat until the object is expelled or the victim becomes unresponsive when they become unresponsive, gently lower them to the ground begin CPR starting with chest compressions. Each time you open the airway, look for the object. If you see the object, remove it. Do not perform a blind finger sweep.  After 5 cycles activate EMS if it hasn't already been done.

Responsive Infant Chocking

kneel or sit with them in your lap. Hold the baby facedown with the head slightly lower than the chest, resting on your forearm. Support the infant's head and jaw with your hand. Take care to avoid compressing the soft tissues of the infant's throat. Rest your forearm lap or thigh to support the infant. Deliver 5 back slaps and then flip the baby over and deliver 5 chest thrusts with 2 fingers. Repeat the sequence until the object is removed, or the infant becomes unresponsive. 

Unresponsive Infant

Begin CPR each time you open the airway look for the obstructed object, if you see it remove it.
