رضيع عمره ٨ أشهر شرق بقطعة طعام أثناء الأكل في كرسيه، ولا يستطيع البكاء أو السعال أو إصدار صوت، ووجهه يزرق، لكنه ما زال واعياً. أمه تصرخ طالبة المساعدة. ما الإجراء الصحيح؟

An 8-month-old choked on a piece of food while eating in his high chair. He cannot cry, cough or make a sound and his face is turning blue, but he is still conscious. His mother is shouting for help. What is the correct action?

1. A blind finger sweep in the throat
2. Five back blows, then five chest thrusts
3. Holding him upside down and shaking hard
4. Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich) exactly as in adults

Answer: B) Five back blows, then five chest thrusts. For infants under one: five back blows face-down between the shoulder blades, then five chest thrusts, repeated. Abdominal thrusts are not used in infants, and blind sweeps can push the object deeper.
