symptoms and the cause of the obstruction. If the patient is
conscious, perform the Heimlich maneuver. If the patient is
unconscious, open the airway by repositioning the head or
inserting an oral airway. Suction the patient to remove secretions
and perform abdominal thrust. If the obstruction is not able to be
cleared, the patient may require an emergency tracheotomy,
cricothyroidotomy, or endotracheal intubation.
