LifeVac announces another life saved

A 94-year-old woman who resides in a Senior Assisted Living community in California began choking. The female resident that suffers from dementia began choking on a piece of shrimp, while having lunch. The food was completely blocking her airway. A CNA performed the Abdominal Thrusts on the patient but was unsuccessful in dislodging the obstruction. The LifeVac device was then administered and on the 2nd Place, Push, Pull motion dislodged the shrimp from the woman’s airway.

Resident was shaken up by the incident, but then said I’m going to be okay 15 minutes after the incident. Continued to monitor, no repercussions from incident. The device absolutely saved the patient’s life
