In the event of a choking, or any emergency, you should always remain calm.
Being prepared, and knowing how to handle the situation will increase the chance of survival.
Every parent and caregiver should refresh their knowledge of First Aid. Like fire and disaster drills, the more often you prepare and plan for an emergency, the greater will be your ability to help in any situation.
