6g. Choking in Children (CPR) (2018) OLD

The seventh lesson in chapter six is Choking in Children. Choking can be either mild or severe. The difference between mild choking and severe choking are explained. Refer to Table two in the CPR manual for details on degrees of obstruction, signs of choking, and actions you should take to help children in choking situations. "Choking can be mild or severe. If the child can make sounds and cough, the airway is mildly blocked. In this case, stand near them and encourage them to cough. Call 911 if you are worried about their breathing. Severe signs of blockage include the inability to breathe, coughing without making a sound, inability to speak, or the universal choking sign of holding the neck with one or both hands. Refer to Table 2 in the CPR manual for details on degrees of obstruction, signs of choking, and actions you should take to help children in choking situations."
