1. Stay calm and assess the situation before taking any action.
2. Ask the person if they are choking and if they need help.
3. If the person is able to cough or speak, encourage them to keep coughing to try and dislodge the object themselves.
4. If the person is unable to cough, speak, or breathe, perform the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) immediately.
5. Call emergency services if the person is still choking after attempting the Heimlich maneuver.
6. Do not attempt to perform the Heimlich maneuver on a person who is able to cough or speak, as this could cause further harm.
7. Do not attempt to remove the object with your fingers, as this could push it further down the person's throat.
8. Stay with the person and provide reassurance until help arrives.

Cautions for Helping a Person with Choking
- Do not give them water or any other liquids. This can worsen the choking by causing the object to swell or become lodged further.
- Do not stick your fingers in their mouth. This can push the object deeper into their airway.
- Do not lift them upside down or shake them. This can dislodge the object and cause it to enter the lungs.
- Do not use a knife or other sharp object to remove the object. This can cause further injury.
- Do not leave the person alone. They may become unconscious and need immediate medical attention.
- If the person is coughing forcefully, do not perform the Heimlich maneuver or back blows. This can interfere with their natural coughing reflex.
- If the person is pregnant or obese, perform abdominal thrusts instead of the Heimlich maneuver.
- Call for emergency medical help immediately, even if the person has dislodged the object. They may have sustained internal injuries that need medical attention.
Additional Tips:
- If you are not trained in first aid, it is best to call for help immediately.
- Stay calm and reassure the person.
- If the person becomes unconscious, place them on their side and perform CPR if you are trained.
- If the object is lodged in the airway for more than 5 minutes, oxygen deprivation can occur. In this case, performing the Heimlich maneuver may be necessary to save the person's life.
