Quick-Thinking Employee Saves Choking Man With Fast First Aid

First aid knowledge that can save a life proved its true power in a real-world situation.

This is a public institution in Kayseri, Turkey.

A man is standing in front of an elevator when he suddenly starts pounding on his chest.

He appears to be in distress, coughing as if something is stuck in his throat.

At that moment, an employee who noticed the situation approaches, immediately wraps their arms around the man's back, and performs the Heimlich maneuver.

While waiting for the elevator, a piece of candy had slipped into the man's airway and caused breathing difficulties, but the employee, who had received emergency response training, quickly came to the rescue.

A moment later, the candy came out of the man's mouth, and he was able to breathe again.

Sudden airway obstructions can mean the difference between life and death in a matter of minutes or even seconds.

This is why knowing basic first aid in advance is so important.
