LifeVac Saves Another Life in a UK Care Home in a Choking Emergency

We are thrilled to share news of another life saved in the UK care sector, this time within the largest care home provider in the UK, HC-One.

It was reported to us, that an elderly resident who relies on a wheelchair for daily tasks and suffers from Dementia came into difficulty while enjoying their meal.

Food had become lodged in their airway causing a partial airway obstruction. Staff acted quickly and accordingly delivering first aid BLS choking protocol. Unfortunately this could not dislodge the casualties airway obstruction and they started to become unconscious.

A nurse quickly deployed their LifeVac device, while the resident was in a sitting position. On the second Place – Push – Pull motion LifeVac dislodged the airway obstruction saving the residents life.

All worked well, easy to use
