Slapping a person in the back when they are choking can help, but it can also cause injury. The Heimlich maneuver is always best when a person is choking.

Choking
Could you explain the use of back slaps and abdominal thrusts in a choking scenario?
If a person is choking and has a serious obstruction in the airway call for an ambulance immediately. If a person is choking but still conscious: * Support the persons chest and lean them forwards (to allow gravity to help) and give five back slaps. * This should be done with the heel of your hand, between the shoulder blades and they should be sharp slaps in order to dislodge the piece of food/object they are choking on. * If the obstruction is not cleared after 5 back slaps, then give 5 abdominal thrusts. * This should be done by standing behind the person and placing a fist in the upper part of the abdomen (between the breastbone and the navel). Then hold your fist with the other hand. * Lean the choking person forward * Then pull sharply inwards and upwards * Repeat this five times * If the obstruction is still not cleared give 5 more back slaps and continue to alternate between backslaps and abdominal thrusts until obstruction is cleared or they become unconscious. If the person becomes unconscious at any time, gently lower them to the ground and commence CPR.
What should you do if a person is choking and unable to speak breath or cough?
The Heimlich Maneuver is something you can do to help a choking person. Get behind the person, wrap your arms around their chest, and grab one fist with your other hand. Place your hands just above their belly button. Quickly thrust your hands upwards and inwards into the person's chest. Repeat until the object is dislodged or the person becomes unconscious. If the person is unconscious or exceptionally large, you can do a similar maneuver by laying them flat on their back and pressing the heel of your hands firmly into their chest at the same area at the same angle. Always remember to call for emergency help.
