ROCHESTER, Minn. — July 31st, 2013 — Babies and young children learn a great deal about the world through their mouths. Unfortunately, this can lead to choking or swallowing dangerous objects. Choking is a leading cause of injury and death among children, especially children 3 years of age or younger. Food, toys and coins account for most of the choking-related events in young children, who put objects in their mouths as they explore new environments, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. MULTIMEDIA ALERT: For English-language and Spanish-language video of Dr. Grace Arteaga talking about swallowed objects and infant choking along with a PSA video: "Saving Lives with Gus — Heimlich Maneuver," please visit the Mayo Clinic News Network.
