abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver)

Rationale: Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) are the best way to dislodge a foreign body airway obstruction. A finger sweep could lodge the item further into the patient's airway, CPR is not indicated for a choking victim unless the patient becomes unconscious and the heart stops, and the recovery position is reserved for after the patient has been successfully treated. Back blows are used on infants, not adults.
