Abstract

The Heimlich manoeuvre is well recognised worldwide as an emergency technique to clear an obstructed airway. The potential for serious injury to the choking victim is also well reported. We report the first case of significant musculoskeletal injury suffered by a rescuer performing the Heimlich manoeuvre. He eventually made a full recovery from his injury. However, we need to be aware of the possibility of injury in the rescuer as well as the rescued.

摘要

海姆利希手法（Heimlich manoeuvre）作为一种清除气道阻塞的紧急技术在全球范围内得到广泛认可。该手法也可能对窒息者造成严重伤害，这一点也有充分报道。我们报告了首例实施海姆利希手法的救援者遭受严重肌肉骨骼损伤的病例。他最终从损伤中完全康复。然而，我们不仅需要意识到被救者受伤的可能性，还需要意识到救援者受伤的可能性。
