Fingers down throat? Blind sweeping isn't on the to do list these days. [Pepsi]

You can't aspirate fluid if the airway is sealed as you state. Blind finger sweep to dislodge/remove bolus was standard CPR practice at one time. I have removed crap from people's throats with my fingers before and it is valid. If clearing the throat, attempting to wash down bolus with fluid, and finger sweep do not work . . . then alright, go hump that chair or perform a DIY tracheotomy without a kit or sterilization.

But maybe you should just chew your food better and try not to mess up the whole "eating steak" thing again in the future.

Blind finger sweeps are good if the FBAO is sitting in the back for oropharynx (back of the mouth), the patient is supine (on their back), and most likely unconscious. If they were conscious they would then spit it out. You are not sticking your finger down the throat (Esophagus or Trachea). If the FBAO is is in the Trachea the Heimlich is the treatment, if you are alone you must create the artificial cough and using a chair is the best way to do this. If the obstruction is in the Esophagus you are probably still able to move air, the Heimlich is limited in effectiveness in this situation, you may be able to work it up or down, if not seek medical attention.

^^^ This. Oh, and glad you're okay, ya batshit crazy mofo. Next time don't try to inhale the steak. Get some epoxy for your dentures and keep them in so you can chew the steak properly. Geeezzzz. [Beer]

And wear a helmet...

Well.... How was the steak?

In all seriousness, glad you were thinking on your feet. I'm not sure I would've thought of using a chair.

And an "aye" for the girlfriend thing.
