Question
What emergency first aid method should be used when a baby is choking due to airway obstruction?
Answer
When providing emergency first aid for a baby who is choking on an airway obstruction, place the baby on the front arm of the rescuer with the baby’s body in a head-down, feet-up position. The rescuer should use one hand to stabilize the baby’s neck and the other hand to hold the baby’s lower jaw on both sides, tilting the baby’s head slightly back to open up the airway.
