    Heimlich maneuver is performed to?
    Question

    Heimlich maneuver is performed to?

    A.

    To treat insufficient breathing

    B.

    To improve circulation

    C.

    To remove blockage from victim’s airway

    D.

    To provide effective ventilation

    Correct option is C


    Sol. The Heimlich maneuver is a first-aid technique used to dislodge a foreign object from a choking person’s airway. It uses abdominal thrusts to create artificial cough pressure. It is a lifesaving procedure often taught in basic CPR training.
    Explanation of each option:
    · (a) Insufficient breathing – Breathing issues may require oxygen or ventilation, not Heimlich.
    · (b) Improve circulation – CPR improves circulation, not Heimlich. This option confuses it with cardiac arrest care.
    · (c) Remove airway blockage – Correct. Heimlich is specifically designed to clear choking-related blockages.
    · (d) Provide ventilation – Heimlich does not deliver air; bag-valve mask or mouth-to-mouth does.
