WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE IS CHOKING ON WATER? 1. Stand behind the choking victim and slightly to one side. 2. Support their chest with one hand. Then lean them forward so the blockage in the airway will come out of their mouth rather than moving further down. 3. GIVE UP TO 5 SHARP BLOWS BETWEEN THEIR SHOULDER BLADES WITH THE HEEL OF YOUR HAND.
