1:54CPR and First AidYouTube

A restaurant owner saves a choking customer with the Heimlich manoeuvre in this short video, shared by the news agency Storyful with its owner's permission.

Key Lessons

  • The owner used the Heimlich manoeuvre, which means firm abdominal thrusts from behind.
  • General guidance: ask 'Are you choking?'. If the person cannot speak, cough or breathe, lean them forward and give up to five back blows, then up to five abdominal thrusts.
  • General guidance: call 112 or 108 if the object does not come out, and start CPR if the person becomes unresponsive.
  • General guidance: restaurant and canteen staff are often the first to see a customer choke, so training a few of them can make a big difference.
