In Argentina, emergency responders and bystanders successfully used the Heimlich maneuver to resolve choking incidents involving children.

In General Pinto, a police officer performed the abdominal compression procedure on a child who had swallowed plastic. In Moreno, volunteer firefighters responded to an emergency where an eight-month-old infant became unconscious due to an airway obstruction. Sub-officer Carlos Nadur performed first aid maneuvers that allowed the infant to expel the object, regain breathing, and stabilize. The infant was subsequently transported to a hospital for evaluation and reported to be in stable condition.
