A mother rushed into the hospital with her two-year-old daughter, who had food stuck in her throat. Tan Yi, chief physician of the anesthesiology department, used the Heimlich maneuver as an emergency treatment. He saw the girl's face and lips were pale, out of breath, and she was not able to speak.  

He grabbed the girl in his arms and performed the Heimlich maneuver immediately. He made sure the girl was facing down, using his hand to support the child's chest and neck, and kept hitting the girl's back. The girl spat out the food in just a few seconds.
