Dinner turned into a drama. A mother died of suffocation on February 24 while preparing good food for her husband and children. According to information provided by the Daily Mail, the woman, named Siobhan Rose Simmonds and aged 33, was first taken to William Harvey Hospital in Ashford. But after spending a week in a coma, she unfortunately did not survive.
As the Red Cross points out on its website, it is important to act quickly to deal with this type of situation. When such an event occurs, the victim cannot react (perhaps shakes his head), but is conscious. She cannot speak, breathe or cough. However, he may try to wheeze or cough without making any sound.

Five slaps on the victim’s back
If you witness this, give the victim a maximum of 5 slaps on the back. After each slap, check if everything is in order. And if the back slap has no effect, do a maximum of 5 abdominal contractions. If the problem is still not resolved, alternate 5 back slaps and 5 abdominal contractions.
If the victim loses consciousness, place him gently on the ground and alert emergency services immediately, then perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation by performing 30 chest compressions. Then continue resuscitation until help arrives or the victim resumes normal breathing.
