It isn't though, if you read past the first paragraph in the wikipedia history of the technique.
"The European Resuscitation Council and the Mayo Clinic recommend alternating between five back slaps and five abdominal thrusts in cases of severe airway obstructions.[1][2]"
I hardly think they'd still recommend the maneuver still if it was "bunk".
- MustardTiger 10y ago>I hardly think they'd still recommend the maneuver still if it was "bunk". The mayo clinic doesn't recommend it any more. And your logic there makes no sense. At what point does "still" matter? It used to be recommended by more people. It has been falling out of favor as more and more organizations stop recommending it as there is no evidence to support it. The fact that a few haven't updated their guidelines yet doesn't make it supported by evidence.
