First aid for chocking (ayoub)

Deaths from choking most often occur in the very young (children under 2 years old) and in the elderly (adults over 75 years). Obstruction of the airway can occur at the level of the pharynx or the trachea. Foods that can adapt their shape to that of the pharynx (such as bananas, marshmallows, or gelatinous candies) can be a danger not just for children but for persons of any age.

Choking occurs when breathing is impeded by a
constricted or obstructed throat or windpipe.
In some cases the air flow is completely blocked, in
other cases some amount of air can pass to the lungs.

Choking
Insufficient oxygen being delivered to the body will
result in oxygen deprivation. Although oxygen stored in
the blood and lungs can keep a person alive for several
minutes after breathing stops, this sequence of events can
lead to death
