Act+Fast Anti Choking Trainer on Good Morning America

Medical emergencies like heart attacks or choking are scary enough, but if there were no one around to help you, would you know what to do to survive?

Luckily, Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of "The Dr. Oz Show," knows the tips and tricks that could save your life when you find yourself all alone and in danger.

If you're in an emergency, in almost every case Oz advises calling 911 immediately and before attempting these techniques, even if you can't talk. Somtimes, especially if you have a land line, leaving the line open will allow rescuers to track your location.

Choking: The Self-Heimlich:

Many people know that the Heimlich maneuver can save a choking victim, but what if no one else is there to wrap their arms around your midsection and help force out whatever is blocking your airway?

Well then, Oz said, you just have to do it yourself.

If that doesn't work, you can also use your furniture to your advantage. You can lean over a chair, table or railing and thrust your upper belly area against the edge.

If you can breathe at all, however, you don't need to do the Heimlich, Oz said.
