You have seconds to clear the airway and no time for practice, which is why more than 3,000 people die each year from choking. How much force, for instance, is required to get the victim to expel the obstruction? Is your fist positioned in precisely the right place? Are you thrusting at the optimum angle?

The Simulaids Choking Manikins are superbly designed to help you cope with all of these training problems. When the abdominal thrust is performed properly, the manikin will expel the object causing obstruction. All of the anatomical landmarks: rib cage, xiphoid process and jugular notch are clearly identifiable for proper training practice. Carrying bag included.
