Frequently asked questions
Ask, “Are you choking?” If they can cough, talk, or breathe, it’s mild. If they can’t do any of these, it’s severe choking and needs immediate action.
Alternate up to five back blows with five abdominal thrusts. Continue until the blockage clears, help arrives, or the person becomes unconscious.
Start CPR if a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Call 999, begin chest compressions, give rescue breaths if trained, and use an AED if available.
No. DNACPR only applies to CPR. The person still receives appropriate medical treatment, comfort care, and hospital admission if needed.
