Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The abdominal thrust, perhaps better known as the Heimlich maneuver, is a type of first aid to stop someone from choking.

It involves the person delivering the abdominal thrust standing behind the patient and using their hands to apply pressure to the bottom of the diaphragm, compressing the lungs and exerting pressure on the lodged object hopefully expelling it.
