When someone is choking due to a foreign body, your job is to keep the airway open as quickly as possible. First aid in such cases is based on abdominal thrusts - the Heimlik method. As a result of energetic pushes, the foreign body is pushed out of the respiratory tract like a cork from a bottle of champagne.
The method used depends on whether the victim is conscious or not, whether he is an adult or an infant or child. For obese people and pregnant women, other methods of performing the procedure are used
