Step 1: Ask the choking person to stand if he or she is sitting.
Step 2: Place yourself slightly behind the standing victim.
Step 3: Reassure the victim that you know the Heimlich maneuver and are going to help.
Step 4: Place your arms around the victim's waist.
Step 5: Make a fist with one hand and place your thumb toward the victim, just above his or her belly button, more specifically on the zyphoid process.
Step 6: Grab your fist with your other hand.
Step 7: Deliver five upward squeeze-thrusts into the abdomen.
Step 8: Make each squeeze-thrust strong enough to dislodge a foreign body.
Step 9: Understand that your thrusts make the diaphragm move air out of the victim's lungs, creating a kind of artificial cough.
Step 10: Keep a firm grip on the victim, since he or she can lose consciousness and fall to the ground if the Heimlich maneuver is not effective.
Step 11: Repeat the Heimlich maneuver until the foreign body is expelled.
