First, if choking, observe the clue, Hands at the throat, panic in view. Then swiftly assess, is there a breath? For silence may signal a perilous threat.
Next, approach with steady might, Position yourself to set things right. Wrap your arms, secure the space, At their waist, find the vital place.
Moreover, form a fist, firm yet sure, Above the navel, to be most pure. Grasp this fist with your guiding hand, Prepare to follow the next command.
Then, with purpose, thrust upward strong, A sudden move to right the wrong. Again and again, till air rushes free, The object expelled restores their plea.
For children, adjust with gentler force, Thus, tailoring aid to a smaller course. Meanwhile, for the pregnant or those with size, Chest thrusts replace the abdominal guise.
If alone, take action, though fear may grow, Against a chair, let the air flow. Until relief or help arrives, Persist with courage; preserve their lives.
Finally, when breathing resumes its way, Seek a doctor without delay. For though the danger might be gone, Injury may linger, unseen but strong.
Thus, the Heimlich saves the day, A method clear, a life’s airway. With every step, a life may mend, Transitioning fear to hope’s bright end.
