LifeVac Saves Man Choking on Steak in a Choking Emergency
LifeVac registers another life saved
It has been reported to us that on December 23rd a 42 yr old male choked on a piece of steak causing a partial airway obstruction. Choking first aid procedures were followed but failed to dislodge the obstruction. LifeVac was then used, on the first application LifeVac dislodged the steak from the choking casualties airway.
Testimonial from the gentleman’s spouse:
Steak immediately came out after one use of LifeVac. Absolutely. My husband was in distress and unable to cough. He later explained he could feel the steak slipping further down his windpipe. He said if the LifeVac didn’t work, it was time to call EMS.
