In human life we can get into various situations in which our life may be at stake. We mean, for example, choking. A person who is choking usually needs help. If there is no one nearby to help in time, a fight for survival begins. However, you only need to know a few important things and you can save yourself even alone. Take a look at what can save your life.
First aid for yourself
It is the duty of every citizen to provide first aid to another person. There are plenty of ways in the media to learn this information and thus save someone’s life. However, few people know what to do in situations when there is no one nearby to help you directly.
It will save your life
Jeff Reman, a firefighter and rescuer with 22 years of experience, pointed this out. He concluded that many people suffer from a fundamental lack of important information, and so he decided to make a short film in which he clearly shows all the important procedures that must be taken if you are choking alone.
If you want to acquire new knowledge and skills, or just want to refresh those you gained long ago, watch the following short video. The author summarizes everything essential you should know to be able to provide first aid to yourself and save yourself. These are truly beneficial pieces of information that have a much higher value than any monetary or material capital. They are worth a life, and that is priceless.
Get down on all fours
The main key points of the whole film are the following. In case you start choking, in no case panic and try to calm down as quickly as possible. Mental calm and composure are very important in this case. The second important point is body position. Stay kneeling on all fours and place your hands calmly on the ground. The last point is the most important, because by performing it you will release a lot of air from your body, which will, for example, dislodge stuck pieces of food. From the bent position you only need to strike the ground hard with your body by releasing your hands and landing on your chest. This sharp blow will save your life.
