Abstract: A device to aid victims of choking attacks, by assisting in the expulsion of objects lodged in the larynx through the compression of the upper abdomen and the discharge of air from the lungs, is constructed with anchor means for attachment to a wall, table or other solid object and a hinged connection to a track member along which a slider assembly reciprocates. The slider assembly is provided with an impact pad which may be aimed at the upper abdomen and with handgrips for exerting muscular effort on the pad to cause the compression of the lungs. The track member and the slide are constructed from telescoping tubing segments in the preferred embodiment. The handgrips may be operated either by the victim of the choking attack or by another.
