DESCRIPTION:

The Heimlich Maneuver was introduced via the Emergency Medicine Journal on June 1, 1974, by a thoracic surgeon and medical innovator, Dr. Henry Heimlich. Though Dr. Heimlich passed away in 2016, Heimlich Heroes continues sharing the importance of his life-saving technique.

The Heimlich Maneuver involves using abdominal thrusts to force air from the lungs to expel an object on which someone is choking. Since Dr. Heimlich developed the maneuver, it has saved an estimated 100,000 lives worldwide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, choking is the fifth leading cause of unintentional death in the United States. Heimlich Heroes’ mission is to end these preventable choking deaths.
