How to perform chest compressions on obese/pregnant
-Those who are obese or pregnant may need chest compressions rather than the Heimlich maneuver:
-Place the heel of your hand on the center of the person's chest.
-Place the heel of your other hand on top of your first hand, lacing fingers together.
-Keep arms straight and your shoulders directly over your hands.
-Push hard and fast, compressing chest at least 2 inches.
