LifeVac helps save 3 more lives!

LifeVac was used when an 85 year old lady with Huntington’s Disease was enjoying her desert following  her dinner. The female resident came into difficulty very quickly when her desert became lodged in her airway creating a full airway obstruction. Staff carried out BLS choking protocol which unfortunately failed to dislodge the obstruction. The female resident became unconscious and the casualty started to turn blue/purple, which is when staff grabbed their LifeVac ACD and on the third application dislodged the obstruction. The female resident was taken to hospital where she made a full recovery.

“Efficient, secure, fast – 100%”

The female resident was sitting in her wheelchair enjoying her dinner when a piece of food became lodged in her airway creating a full airway obstruction. BLS choking protocol was carried out by nurses which failed to dislodge the obstruction, LifeVac was used  to dislodge the obstruction and the female resident regained consciousness.

“Quickness, easy to use”

LifeVac was used in a choking emergency on a 97 year old female wheelchair user who suffers from Dysphagia. The resident was eating her dinner when food became lodged in her airway creating a partial airway obstruction. Staff encouraged the resident to cough, but this could not clear the obstruction. LifeVac was used and dislodged the partial airway obstruction and the female resident made a full recovery avoiding a trip to hospital.
