LifeVac saves another life in the care sector, while exhibiting at the Care Show
While setting up for this years amazingly successful Care Show at the NEC in Birmingham, LifeVac Europe was informed we had saved yet another life in the UK care sector. It isn't uncommon to receive weekly news of a new life saved within a care or nursing home in the UK by LifeVac. But it makes it that much more special, when we are exhibiting at the Care Show to raise awareness of choking and choking prevention. It has been reported to us that LifeVac was used within a Hallmark care home to help save a life in a choking emergency. An elderly male resident was sitting down enjoying his meal when he came into difficulty. Food had become lodged in his airway creating a full airway obstruction. Hallmark care home employees acted quickly delivering BLS choking protocol. Unfortunately, back blows were not able dislodge the full airway obstruction. A nurse quickly retrieved their LifeVac device from their wall mounted kit and on the first application within seconds dislodged the food and the resident made a full recovery.
