According to the National Safety Council, over 5,000 people died from choking in 2015. Since certified instructors teach the Heimlich Method, the American Red Cross and other groups include the instruction in their first aid and CPR courses. The Heimlich Procedure is taught by certified instructors.
It's likely that being trained to handle the Heimlich Maneuver properly could save a life. You will also learn how to celebrate potential choking, how to provide assistance, and proper administration of the procedure. There have also been modified strategies for young children. Every person who is trained has the potential to have a life saved. Although first responders, law enforcement, nurses, physicians, elder and child care, and those in high-risk occupations are all required to have training, anyone can obtain it.. You may make a difference in someone's life, whether you or someone you know.
