    The Heimlich maneuver isn’t actually the go-to technique anymore, firm smacks on the back are generally more effective. You lean them forward, support their chest with one arm and give up to 5 sharp blows between their shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. If that doesn’t work, try the Heimlich, if that also doesn’t work call an ambulance.
