[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel very sad for the teachers and administration - put yourself in that situation and the fear and needing to do something like the hemleich and it not working is devastating. People get frantic under pressure.  I can't stop thinking about this incident, I talked to my daycare teacher to discuss the incident and what they are doing to monitor it (teaching children about chewing slowly, etc, check menu items.)[/quote]

I agree. [u]The Heimlich is not 100% effective by any means[/u], even when administered correctly. We don't have all the facts, but it is entirely likely this was a horrible freak accident.[/quote]

This.  There was an incident a couple of years ago on an international long haul flight (12+ hrs) during which an adult male choked on a piece of meet. They had a doctor and ER nurse on board (as passengers) and the man still died because they couldn't help him.  It's awful.  The Heimlich maneuver is great, but not an absolute.[/quote]

Exactly.  Horrible, tragic deaths happen every day.  That doesn't diminish the pain they leave; it's a shitty fact of life.  Not everything is preventable.

My heart goes out to the family, and to the teachers as well.  The whole situation is heart-breaking. [/quote]
