Detailed explanation-1: -However, a person who can’t cough, speak, or breathe needs immediate help. Ask the person if they are choking and let them know you will use abdominal thrusts, known as the Heimlich maneuver, to help them clear their airway and breathe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chest thrusts should be used for obese patients if the rescuer is unable to encircle the victim’s abdomen. If the choking victim is in the late stages of pregnancy, the rescuer should use chest thrusts instead of abdominal thrusts. Chest thrust is less likely to cause regurgitation than is abdominal thrust.
