ABSTRACT:
A resuscitator is disclosed for rendering assistance to a choking victim in a manner similar to the abdominal thrust method or Heimlich manoeuvre. The resuscitator has a planar handle member with opposed end portions having finger openings to form hand grips. A raised, rounded pad is located between the end portions and extends perpendicular to the handle member. The pad has a rectangular or diamond shaped base in plan view orientated so that V-shaped side walls fit the shape of the pit of the stomach.
