Zurich Citizens News, 1977-03-23, Page 11How to help a choking victim
What do you do? You are sitting
at a dinner table when the person
beside you turns pale and
collapses.
At first glance it looks like a
heart attack. But then you notice
the victim is choking on a piece of
food stuck in his windpipe.
Traditional practice dictates
slapping on the back, reaching
into his mouth to •try to dislodge
the chunk of food,even offering a
glass of water.
But now a doctor has come up
with a novel solution. Dr. Henry
Heimlich, director of surgery at a
Cincinnati hospital, offers this
advice.
"Stand behind the victim and
put both of your arms around
him, Let his head, arms and
upper torso hang forward. Grab
your fist with your other hand
and place it against his abdomen
slightly above the navel and below
the rib cage. Press up rapidly
against his abdomen. This forces
the diaphragm up and com-
presses the lungs. Hopefully, the
food will pop out like a cork from
a champagne bottle.
"If the victim is too heavy for
you to hold, lay him on his back
and sit on his hips. With the heel
of your left hand pressing against
the back of your right hand, push
forward into his abdomen just
above the belt.
"A second person should be
prepared to remove the ejected
food from the victim's mouth—
particularly if he's on his back—
with a spoon or fingers.
"Apply artificial respiration if
the victim still has trouble
breathing after the food is
removed. Then get him to adoctor
to have him checked over.
"If you choke on something small ,child can be placed face
while you are alone, use the down across the knee so that your
technique on yourself by pressing lett presses the child's abdomen
your fist rapidly up against your._.., as you apply hand pressure
abdomen." upwards along the lower part of
Heimlich points out that a his back. •
Getting your vitamin C
If you think of vitamin C as
being only from citrus fruits, then
you've got a long way to go!
Canadians can rely on a great
variety of sources of vitamin C
without having to depend on
imported produce.
The recommended daily intake
of vitamin C is 30 mg. One ser-
ving of the following foods con-
tributes more than 100 percent
toward the recommended daily
intake: vitaminized apple juice,
broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
cooked spinach, green pepper,
strawberries, fresh tomatoes.
Others that contribute more than
50 percent are: asparagus,
cabbage, potatoes cooked in their
skin, rutabaga, sweet potato,
tomato juice and canned
tomatoes. Blueberries, parsnips,
squash and mashed or boiled
potatoes provide more than 25
percent of the recommended
daily intake.
There are many fruit -flavored
beverages on the market: canned
and frozen drinks, soft drinks,
crystals and powders. Many may
contain added vitamin C but -little
else other than suger. On the
other hand fruit juices contain
small amounts of many minerals
and other vitamins.
Vitamin C is a factor in the
normal development and

maintenance of bones, cartilage,
teeth and gums. It is aso a factor
in the maintenance of good
health. Controversy continues
among many scientists as to the
effect of large doses of vitamin C
on the common cold. Vitamin C is
needed in the diet every day
because it is not stored in the
body.
Since vitamin C is a perishable
vitamin, handle fruits and
vegetables carefully. Protect it
from heat by using raw fruits and
vegetables often or by cooking
only until tender crisp. Cover and
refrigerate juices after opening
to avoid too much oxidation.
Keep cooking losses to a
minimum by baking or steaming
or by using cooking water in
soups of sauces.
