Safe Swallowing
Katie, look at me.
Wow!
How’s that? I am good, right?
Haha. Yep.
I will try two at once this time.
Mike, stop. You might choke on it.
Nah, don’t worry.
Mike! What’s wrong?
Oh my, Mike! Safety, Safety, Safety Man!
Mike, what’s going on?
Safety Man!
Mike was catching biscuits in his mouth….
What?! It must have gone down the wrong way!
Safety Man!
Heimlich Maneuver!
Mike, you OK? Can you breathe?
Yes….
Phew! That was a close call! You were lucky, Mike!
You just chew on biscuits like this….
Why would you throw and catch in your mouth, Huh?!
Nom, nom…
Agh, that’s mine, Safety Man!
I was just trying to look cool…
Ay, you silly boy!
When food goes down the wrong way, you can’t breathe and you could die!
Die?!
Of course, Mike! Come here.
I will teach you the Heimlich Maneuver.
Watch carefully, OK?
OK. Yes, sir.
When the patient is able to cough, the object can come out while coughing,
But when that’s not the case,
Wrap your arms around the patient’s waist
and place your hands just above the belly button.
Make a fist and grasp it with the other hand,
Thumb side in.
Place one of your legs between the patient’s legs and use it as support.
Tighten your arms and push inward and upward at the same time.
Like this!
I am gonna puke!
You have to puke out the food to breathe.
Ah-ha! Got it. Heeheehee.
Oh and, when the patient is a baby,
We have no baby at home.
Ay, silly boy! This will be helpful, trust me!
OK, OK…
With one hand, hold the baby’s chin,
Then place the baby facedown across your forearm on your lap.
With the baby’s head downward,
give five forceful blows
at the center of the back using the heel of your hand.
Then, turn the baby over, thrust the chest using 2 fingers.
And repeat.
OK?
Yes, sir.
I am busy and have to go now…
Mike, remember to eat your snacks in the proper way, OK?
Yes, sir.
I gotta run now!
Bye-bye, Safety Man!
Agh, that silly boy!
Whew! That naughty boy!
