A little girl in China started drowning, and ran to her 6-year-old sister who helped her by performing the Heimlich maneuver. The incident was captured by a home security camera.

The Heimlich maneuver is a first aid technique used to clear the airway when choking is caused by a stuck object, like food in the throat of the sufferer. Using quick and forceful abdominal compressions, pressure is created that can help push that object out. The Heimlich maneuver is an important skill that can save a life, therefore it is useful to know how to perform it correctly.
