How do you give thrusts?

To give thrusts during a rescue maneuver, such as in the Heimlich maneuver for choking victims, first, position yourself behind the individual. Place your arms around their waist and make a fist with one hand, placing the thumb side against the middle of their abdomen, above the navel. Grasp your fist with your other hand and perform quick, inward and upward thrusts. Repeat until the object is dislodged or the individual can breathe again.
