"Help! She‘s choking!!"

Hey resus-community!

I’m Elena 🤍 and I’ve got a huge interest in all things related to choking and the Heimlich maneuver - whether it’s the technique, the physiology, or real-life stories. I’m here to learn, listen, share, and connect with others who are into emergency response, first aid, or just fascinated by the human body under pressure.

Looking forward to being part of the conversation! 🩺

Wanna RP a choking/heimlich scenario?

The bar was loud with the easy hum of Friday night conversation, glasses clinking beneath the low amber lights. At the far end of the counter, I laughed at something my friend had just said, lifting my drink in one hand and a bowl of roasted nuts in the other.

Then the laugh caught.

My expression changed in an instant.

I straightened sharply on the stool, one hand flying to my throat. The smile vanished, replaced by a wide-eyed look of confusion. I coughed once, a harsh, dry sound that barely rose above the music, then again, harder this time.

I’m going insane. Good videos of the Heimlich Maneuver seem surprisingly hard to come by. If anyone knows of any high-quality demonstration videos, I’d be very grateful if you could share them! ❤️
