It’s surprising to learn, statically choking is not as common as you may think. The terms gagging and choking are commonly, incorrectly used interchangeably when in fact they are VERY different and therefore the management is very different. I think this plays into the worry that parents have with choking, there are a considerable amount of misconceptions.
Choking is the #1 reason why parents book into our first aid courses. We go into this in great detail. We also have a $20 online masterclass that’s a great refresher.
