Stephen died from choking on vomit during sleep time after too many drinks before consuming alcohol. Every person must have felt choked while eating or drinking something that could make it a fit of coughing and difficult to breathe. Though breathing is one very important part of life for all mankind.

The body had choked because of obstruction of upper respiratory track due to food or other foreign objects that hinder a person breathes and her shortness of breath. Choking can result in someone having a fit of coughing, but if the airways are obstructed enough then it could cause someone dies.

Oxygen that enters the body, is useful as a source of fuel. When someone choke point so no obstructed breathing oxygen into the lungs. The brain will be extremely sensitive if the intake of oxygen is reduced and the long run will begin to die in the time between 4 hours to 6 hours. This is where the importance of first aid.

As quoted from Emedicinehealth’s health care information, symptoms experienced when someone is choking cough, vomiting, hand signals (usually pointed towards the throat), can not speak, shortness of breath or breathing sounds and the body’s natural response is usually a direct hand holding the throat.

Choking can also occur if someone is drinking or eating quickly or in haste and in significant amounts, when accidentally inhaled food while laughing or crying and acute alcohol poisoning, especially during swallowing and chewing ability was weak.

1. Ask whether the person is choking on something, if he can still answer it clearly, then simply escort only. But if you can not answer that question immediately provide relief.
2. Do not give them any drinks, because the fluid can inhibit these incoming air.
3. Stand behind the person and put our hands around the abdomen, make a fist with one hand and the thumb against the abdomen while the other hand holding a fist.
4. With a sharp movement of the hand press upwards and into the abdomen to remove foreign matter from the body.
5. A pat on the back or on the sternum can cause coughing and remove the object. These foreign materials must be removed from the hypopharynx or laryngopharynx, because it is part of the throat that connects to the esophagus.
