When delivering back slaps to an infant who is choking, the rescuer should use the heel of the hand and forcefully deliver the slap between the infant’s shoulder blades.
true / false.

This statement is true

Explanation:

Relieve the choking response by the help of the steps which i have explained:

Step 1

If you find an infant choking, and he or she is responsive, first sit or kneel with the infant in your lap. Hold the infant facedown and resting on your forearm, with the head slightly lower than the chest.  Note: If it is easy to do, remove clothing from the infant's chest.

Step 2

Support the head and jaw with your hand. Avoid compressing the soft tissues of the infant's throat.

Step 3

Rest your forearm on your thigh to provide support. Deliver up to 5 back slaps forcefully between the infant's shoulder blades, using the heel of your hand. Deliver each slap with sufficient force to attempt to remove the foreign body.

Step 4

Rest your forearm on your thigh to provide support. Deliver up to 5 back slaps forcefully between the infant's shoulder blades, using the heel of your hand. Deliver each slap with sufficient force to attempt to remove the foreign body.

Step 5

Keep the infant's head lower than the chest, and deliver up to 5 quick downward chest thrusts in the same location that you perform compressions—just below the nipple line, over the lower half of the breastbone. Do this at the rate of about 1 per second.

Step 6

Repeat the sequence of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts until the object is removed or until the infant becomes unresponsive.
