Can the heimlich manuever be used on bandsters?

My DH asked me an interesting question.

YES, there is no reason why you can't use the Heimlich on a bandster.

Ya know, I wondered the same thing. My port is in the place where you would position your hands and thrust.

Even so I think I'd rather do damage to the port or band rather than choke to death!

The reason I asked is that my port is exactly in the place where someone would put their fist in order to do the Heimlich on me.

There seems to be a trend to put the port between your breasts but lower down below bra level (if you're a female) or in the similiar spot on a male. Sternum maybe??? Supposedly they can access the port better where there isn't so much fat like in our tummies. I dunno but that is where it is. If I needed the Heimlich done and it was done properly it would push the port in pretty violently. Naturally I would rather live (duh) then die with an uninjured port but due to its placement it does bear discussing or at the very least an awareness.

This is a great question and good info.....thanks!!!
