Does your driver know what to do if while driving you or your child or any family member suddenly experiences choking? CHOKING can be a life threatening incident; It is when someone cant breathe because food, a toy, or other object is blocking the airway (throat or windpipe) which may be completely or partially blocked, so that not enough oxygen reaches the lungs. A complete blockage is a medical emergency. A partial blockage can quickly become life threatening if the person cannot properly breathe in and out. Without oxygen, permanent brain damage can occur in as little as 4 - 6 minutes. Rapid first aid for choking can save a life. DO NOT! ~: # try to grasp an object that is lodged in the persons throat. This may push it farther down the airway. # begin the chest compressions of CPR (if heartbeat has stopped) until the airway is cleared. # interfere if the person is coughing forcefully, able to speak, or is able to breathe in and out adequately. However, be ready to act immediately if the persons symptoms worsen. # try to grasp and pull out the object if the person is conscious. WHAT TO DO! Medical Global Services Limited (MGSL) will train your drivers to know what to do and to act quickly in the face of emergencies.
