A finger sweep should be preformed on whom every time?

A finger sweep should be performed on an unconscious individual when there is a visible obstruction in the mouth and the person is not breathing adequately. However, it should only be done if the rescuer can see the object, as blindly sweeping can push the obstruction further down the airway. It is not recommended for conscious individuals or those who are making sounds, as they may be able to cough or breathe on their own. Always prioritize calling for emergency help in any airway obstruction scenario.
