Hi there, as a member of the first aid project, i would value your opinion. I strongly believe that abdominal thrusts does not need it's own article, and should be redirected to choking, where we can have one coherent article on the subject. I think this should be the case because:
- Abdominal thrusts are only used for choking, and therefore logically sit in that article
- With how-tos removed from abdominal thrusts, the article is very short, verging on being a stub
- It avoids people looking either term up having to flick between pages to find the information they require
- It follows the logic of some other similar changes on the project such as the creation of Emergency bleeding control from the stubs of tourniquet, pressure point etc.
- It provides a single place of reference on Wikipedia for the information, rather than two 'competing' pages who repeat a lot of the same information
I would very much appreciate any input you might have to support or oppose my view (hey, i'm not right all the time) on the talk page Talk:Abdominal thrusts
Thanks for your time, Owain.davies 18:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
