3-Year-Old Choked on Chewing Gum and Saved with LifeVac
LifeVac announces another life saved
It has been reported to us that a 3-year-old little girl began choking on a piece of chewing gum causing a full airway obstruction. Her parent performed BLS first aid choking rescue procedures but unfortunately failed to dislodge the gum. LifeVac was then utilized with the child in a sitting position. On the second Place, Push, Pull motion the LifeVac dislodged the piece of chewing gum from the child’s airway saving her life.
The object was finally dislodged after using this device when the abdominal thrusts did not fully help
