Addressed to an official in the Office for the Protection of Research Subjects at the University of California at Los Angeles, it accused two UCLA medical researchers of participating in illegal human experiments on HIV patients in China.

Knowing what you think you know, you grab the afflicted diner from behind and deliver the now familiar thrust to the diaphragm to dispel the food. Right? Not so fast. The American Red Cross's recommended protocol for treating choking victims is to first deliver blows to the back and then use "abdominal thrusts" as a secondary method. The Red Cross has not used the term Heimli

Foreign body airway obstruction: considerations in 1985 ROGER D. WHITE, M.D. ABSTRACT Management of foreign body airway obstruction continues to be a major controversy in emergency medical care. Much of the disagreement is without doubt based on lack of a uniformly accepted model of acute airway obstruction representative of the clinical event. A variety of models have been used to assess different aspects of airway obstruction by foreign bodies. These models have analyzed, among other variables, kinetic energy and inertial and aerodynamic forces in attempts to focus on specific aspects of th

Letters to the Editor Boston Herald, Aug 25, 2005 In Defense of Heimlich Dr. Henry Heimlich developed the Heimlich Maneuver for choking in 1973. Choking was the sixth-largest cause of accidental death in America, costing nearly 5,000 lives annually. After testing his theory on anesthetized dogs, Heimlich published his findings in June 1974. The maneuver has saved many thousands of lives. The Herald story ("BU doc finds Heimlich's role in maneuver hard to swallow," Aug. 21) asserts questions have been raised about the origin of the Heimlich Maneuver. In fact, no such questions have been raised.
