Choking child

One room, a small toy, a peanut. Many causes that could lead to choking in young children. If despite all your precautions, your child can no longer breathe, we must react quickly and take the right actions, his life is in danger!
The suffocation of young children is a common household accident. Before a brutal tract obstruction by a foreign Arian, two types of attitude can be distinguished:

    * If the child is breathing spontaneously, encourage her coughing. Do not perform other actions, unless the problem worsens breathing and whether a stay of the breakdown occurs;
    * If the child is not breathing, do not remove the foreign body from the mouth, blindly, at the risk of the enclave deeper. Instead, use clearance techniques.

    * Continue to monitor breathing (it must be regular and have at least twelve minute ventilation in children and twenty five per minute in the nourrison).
If the airway of the victim are still blocked

    * Repeat the previous cycle, replacing the chest compressions with abdominal thrusts as adults;
    * Repeat the cycle, alternating compressions of the chest and abdominal compression;
    * Continue until the clearing of airway and resumption of spontaneous ventilation of the child.
For infants under one year
Abdominal compressions in infants are not recommended because they can cause damage to organs of the abdomen.

    * Perform five cycles of dry taps in the back and five chest compressions only;
