Although the Heimlich maneuver is a simple and effective way to save lives, there are a few important things that you should keep in mind. Always ask the person if they are choking and whether they want help. If the person can speak or cough, do not perform the Heimlich maneuver. Instead, encourage them to keep coughing until the foreign object comes out. If the person becomes unconscious, you should use CPR rather than the Heimlich maneuver.
虽然哈姆立克急救法是一种简单有效的救命方法，但仍有几点重要事项需要牢记。务必询问患者是否噎到以及是否需要协助。如果患者可以说话或咳嗽，请勿实施哈姆立克急救法。相反地，鼓励他们继续咳，直到异物排出。如果患者失去意识，你应该使用心肺复苏术而不是哈姆立克急救法。
