How to perform abdominal thrusts on yourself

Also called (Heimlich maneuver)

• Place a fist slightly above your navel.
• Grasp your fist with the other hand and bend over a hard surface — a counter-top or chair will do.
• Shove your fist inward and upward

To clear the airway of a pregnant woman or obese person:

• Position your hands a little bit higher than with a normal Heimlich maneuver, at the base of the breastbone, just above the joining of the lowest ribs.
• Proceed as with the Heimlich maneuver, pressing hard into the chest, with a quick thrust.
• Repeat until the food or other blockage is dislodged or the person becomes unconscious.
