Perhaps not quoted, but a few good sources to back it up can't hurt.

Yes, anything as utterly important as the Heimlich Manoeuvre needs to be directly quoted from a medical source. We are talking people's immediate safety.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I just noticed that [[Abdominal thrusts]] gives detailed advice on how to perform a medical procedure. Maybe there are other such articles too. Given the fashionable practice of filing suit whenever a medical procedure fails to work, it seems to me that this is rather dangerous for Wikipedia. Wouldn't it be legally safer (and more likely to be medically correct) if the actual procedure in such articles was presented as a direct quotation from a named medical authority? With permission, of course. Maybe there should also be a disclaimer.
Zero.
