Primary school student saves choking classmate via Heimlich maneuver

A fifth grader in Shaoxing City, east China's Zhejiang Province, has been praised by the school for her acts of saving a classmate from choking via the Heimlich maneuver.

Security camera video recorded on May 8 shows that Li Lexin, a student with the Qingfangcheng No. 2 Primary School, is walking home with her two classmates and finds out that one of the classmates suddenly begins struggling in breathing. He is later found to be chocked by an ice cube.

"I realized he was choking, and I was a little bit in panic. But the Heimlich rescue approach soon popped up in my mind. And I quickly took his backpack off, used the Heimlich maneuver, and after two compressions, he spit out the ice cube stuck in his throat," Li said.

Thanks to regular first-aid trainings carried out at Li's school, Li saved the classmate from the dangerous situation in just six seconds.

"When it comes to student safety education, in addition to the regular '11530' safety education reminder and the monthly emergency drill, we will, on other occasions of safety education, routinely teach the students safety knowledge and provide them with safety skills training," said Xu Xudong, principal of the Qingfangcheng No. 2 Primary School.

The "11530" safety education reminder refers to one-minute safety reminder told by parents to their children before school, one-minute safety education carried out by teachers for their students after classes, five-minute morning talks carried out by teachers with their students on weekends, and 30-minute safety education course for students before each major holiday or on each safety education day.
