 | Each year people die because others weren’t able to help or didn’t know how. Knowing what to do in an emergency means knowing First Aid. Even learning the basics could make the difference that saves the life of a friend or loved one. So I've just put together a very important document that you should read, as it may come in very handy over the coming few days. | IMPORTANT PLEASE READ IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH ANY WEST COAST EAGLES PLAYERS The Heimlich Maneuver for Choking. A choking victim can't speak or breathe and needs your help immediately. Follow these steps to help a choking victim: | | 1. | From behind, wrap your arms around the victim's waist. | | | 2. | Make a fist and place the thumb side of your fist against the victim's upper abdomen, below the ribcage and above the navel. | | | 3. | Grasp your fist with your other hand and press into their upper abdomen with a quick upward thrust. Do not squeeze the ribcage; confine the force of the thrust to your hands. | | | 4. | Repeat until object is expelled. | | | | |
