Choking Response Training Videos

You can save a life.

Every year in the UK, hundreds of people lose their lives to choking incidents – many of which could have been prevented with prompt, correct action. Adults can choke on food or small objects, while children face additional risks as they explore their world through their mouths. These emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, and when they do, knowing how to respond could mean the difference between life and death.

St Andrews First Aid has created these essential training videos to help you learn the basic techniques for helping both adults and children who are choking. In just a few minutes, you’ll learn the step-by-step process for performing back blows and abdominal thrusts safely and effectively for different age groups.

While these videos provide crucial information, they’re just the beginning. We strongly encourage you to attend our comprehensive first aid courses where you can practice these techniques hands-on with expert instructors. This practical experience builds the confidence and muscle memory you need to act quickly and effectively in real emergencies.

Remember – in a choking emergency, every second counts. Take a few minutes now to watch these videos, and consider signing up for full first aid training. Your decision to learn these skills today could save someone’s life tomorrow.
