Course Objectives, Outcomes & Course Agenda

Our Baby Heimlich Maneuver online course is integral to maintaining the safety of infants and toddlers entrusted to your care and who may require emergency intervention. Unlike adults, babies choke because they explore the world by placing, often inappropriate objects, in their mouth. A choking baby’s airway may be completely or partially blocked so that not enough oxygen reaches the lungs.The airway of a choking child may be completely or partially blocked so that not enough oxygen reaches the lungs. A partial blockage can quickly become life threatening if the child cannot properly breathe. Without oxygen, permanent brain damage or death can occur in as little as 4 - 6 minutes. A parent of a child you service, or your own child may choke, or that or a fellow colleague, family member or friend may require your assistance in an emergency.
