It is not uncommon for people to vomit after they have received CPR and then have started breathing on their own.. I don't think that your are going to bring up a piece of food that could cause choking, after all if you are doing CPR a person isn't breathing.. and is basically dead....risk vs benefit situation..Health Question & Answer
