Doctor: Vigorously compress the injured person’s sternum and use the air in the lungs to push out foreign bodies

Earlier, when an emergency department specialist was interviewed by "Hong Kong 01", the average person would experience difficulty in vocalization and asthma, so that people around him knew that the patient had a throat condition and needed to call an ambulance immediately.

When waiting for the ambulance, someone can press the patient’s abdomen from behind with both hands, clenching the fist with one hand and clenching the fist with the other hand, and keep pressing the injured person’s sternum backwards and upwards, so that the diaphragm will lift up. The air in the lung pushes the foreign body out of the body.

As for, when a child is unlucky, he can pat the middle of his back with his hands to help cough up the foreign body.

Once the patient is not breathing smoothly and falls into a coma, he should be placed flat on the ground and extra-heart pressure is applied to him until the ambulanceman arrives.
