Breathing Problems You can tell if someone is having trouble breathing if the person is Is breathing very fast or slow Having trouble with every breath Has noisy breathing such as a sound or whistle as air enters or leaves the lungs They can only speak a few words

Inhalers Inhalers are made up of 2 parts: the medicine chamber and the mouthpiece. Spacers can be attached to make it easier for the person with the breathing problem to inhale all the medicine.

Choking in an adult Choking can be: Mild vs. Severe Choking You’ll learn: How to help a Choking Adult How to help a Choking Adult who stops responding

Choking Choking-is when food or another object gets stuck in the airway in the throat. The object stops air from getting to the lungs.

Mild Choking If someone can make sounds, or can cough loudly. The block in the airway is Mild And you should, stand by and let the person cough or if your worried call 911

Severe Choking If someone cannot breathe or has a cough that has no sound, cannot talk or make any sound, or makes the choking sign The block in the airway is Severe And you should act quickly and follow the steps to help a choking adult

How to help a Choking Adult When someone has severe choking, give thrusts slightly above the belly button. These thrusts are sometimes called the Heimlich maneuver. Like a cough, each thrust pushes air from the lungs. This can help remove an object that is blocking the airway

Help a Choking Large person or Pregnant Woman If someone is choking and is in the late stages or pregnancy or is very large and you cant wrap your arms fully around the waist, give thrusts on the chest, instead of thrusts on the abdomen.
