  • Title: [Use of the Heimlich Maneuver on children in the Rhône-Alpes area].
    Author: Boussuges S, Maitrerobert P, Bost M.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1985 Oct; 42(8):733-6. PubMed ID: 4074104.
    Abstract:
    In 27 children suffering from a foreign body in the respiratory tract with asphyxia, the Heimlich manoeuvre, previously described, was successful in saving life of this dramatic situation in all cases, without respiratory complication. While this method is better known by members of first-aid associations than by pediatricians, it may be successfully used in very young children and infants.
