Perform CPR.
If a choking victim becomes unresponsive, you should lower them to the ground, shout for help/call EMS (or have someone else call), and begin CPR (starting with chest compressions). Chest compressions can create enough pressure to expel the lodged object. Only perform a finger sweep if you can see the object — do not reach blindly down the throat.
