LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Based on the findings from a review by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council, back blows and abdominal thrusts should be used as standard treatment for an airway obstruction for a conscious person. If the standard treatment is not working, or not feasible, anti-choking devices are an option to consider for attempted removal of an airway obstruction. The Red Cross does not endorse any specific anti-choking devices and recognizes the need for further high-quality, independent, randomized studies of such devices.
