Sadly for period accuracy, the Heimlich manoeuvre was first described in 1974, and there's no way the Joneses in the 1930s could even know that this is a pun*.
In 2006 the Red Cross adopted the more descriptive name of abdominal thrusts to replace the more colourful Heimlich manoeuvre, named after Doctor Henry Heimlich.
