2. During your shopping in a big store, you have noticed a mother

shouting for help. You ran there and found her almost 2 years old baby

chocked with a tiny piece of sweet. The baby is conscious but irritable

and distressed. He couldn’t cough well and became cyanosed. You

tried to open the mouth but the sweet is not appeared well. What is

your next action? SELECT ONE:

A. Try your best to remove the sweet by your finger to relief the baby

B. Shout for help and go immediately to call the ambulance team

C. Start CPR alone or with help of other attendee

D. Ask the baby to cough forcibly and frequently

E. Hold the baby appropriately and give back blows and chest thrusts

Unless you see the FB clearly, blind swept finger technique to remove the FB is prohibited. It

may dislodge FB more distally and worsen the condition. The appropriate action in a

conscious baby with ineffective cough and more than one year is 5 back blows and 5

abdominal thrust alternatively. If conscious level is affected at any time, CPR should be

started without delay.
