Also learn the Heimlich maneuver if you can. It’s easy to learn and you don’t need to be certified. Never thought I’d need it but I saved my brother’s life many years ago. An outlier for sure given about 6,000 people in the US die from choking each year, but still.

Heimlich maneuver is good, but it must be done right, and customized for the person. Doing it wrong can cause injury that can kill a person.
