Heimlich maneuver training for mothers of children with disabilities
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study offers a free training session to teach mothers of children with disabilities how to perform the Heimlich maneuver (a lifesaving technique to help someone who is choking). The goal is to help you feel confident and prepared to act quickly if your child or another family member starts choking.
