I realized he was choking and grabbed him out of his highchair. I did three back blows and then turned him around to see a red face, gargling/slobbery watermelon coming out of his mouth and thoughtÉ Am I really going to need to use the LifeVac? I just bought it a few months back. And then I thought donÕt mess with the back blows anymore. I used it and three pieces flew out of his mouth, and I cried and he didnÕt. He was just fine.Ó

It was reported to us that a 7-month-old baby boy choked on 3 pieces of watermelon. His mother attempted blows several times, but her efforts were unsuccessful in dislodging the food. LifeVac® was used once, and successfully dislodged the obstruction allowing the child to breathe again.
