If you see an object blocking a victim's airway, do not attempt to remove it with your fingers, as this may push it further down. Instead, perform the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) to try to dislodge the object. If the victim becomes unresponsive, call for emergency help and begin CPR while checking the mouth for the object after each set of compressions. Always prioritize calling for emergency assistance if the situation allows.
