☛ Reach around the victim from behind. Circle your hands around the victim’s stomach

☛ Make a fist with your dominant hand. The thumb of the fist should point into the stomach (just above the victim’s navel )

☛ Wrap your other hand firmly around this fist and give a good inward push by pressing the victim’s abdomen

☛ These thrusts should be repeated until either the item is removed, or the resident loses consciousness.

☛ Use less force if the victim is a child.
