On December 28th 2024, LifeVac® Saved it’s First Life in Sweden within a Choking Emergency
On December 28th, 2024, 26-year-old Ivan, who lives in Sweden, choked on pieces of food after vomiting during an Epileptic Seizure. Ivan suffers from Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disability, Epilepsy, and relies on a wheelchair for daily tasks. Due to Ivan’s physical disabilities he cannot receive current recommended first aid choking protocol.
Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (FBAO) is a medical emergency that can result in death, particularly if swift, appropriate action is not taken. It can be a frightening experience for all involved. LifeVac provides an additional alternative in the management of choking – Ivan’s Mother.
“We are proud to have helped save Ivan and provide peace of mind to his family. Ivan is our first life saved within Sweden.
