LifeVac Saves a Woman with Lou Gehrig’s Disease from Choking

A woman with Lou Gehrig’s disease experienced a frightening choking scare while eating a hamburger.

Thankfully her daughter had a LifeVac on hand and used the non-invasive airway clearance device (ACD) to remove the obstruction.

Daughter’s Testimonial:

“My mother had trouble swallowing and we always were so worried. She had spinal fusion surgery due to a fall prior to the ALS diagnosis so we couldn’t perform the abdominal thrusts on her, she was also in a wheelchair after diagnosis. Our family are truly grateful for having the LifeVac and I have recently purchased more to keep on hand and give out to people!”

 

“The object came out and she started breathing again”
