LifeVac is excited to announce another life saved

A 1-year-old boy choked on the rubber piece of a childÕs toothbrush causing a full airway obstruction. Choking BLS first aid rescue procedures were performed multiple times by the childÕs mother but failed to dislodge the obstruction.

The childÕs grandmother purchased the LifeVac for the family about a year ago. Here are details from the family:

ÒWhen she noticed her son was choking, she panicked and did a couple of back blows, then she ran and got the LifeVac, pumped it 2 to 3 times and the rubber end of the childÕs toothbrush came out and he vomited. She did not perform the abdominal thrusts and at the time couldnÕt find her phone to call EMS. After the incident she had him checked by the local ambulance service and they evaluated his lungs, airway, and vital signs, they determined he was okay and didnÕt need any further medical treatment.

They praised her quick thinking and the use of the LifeVac. She knows without a doubt it saved her sonÕs life, and while she was in a state of panic something clicked in her mind to get the LifeVac, to this she attributes a higher power. Thank you so much! My grandson is alive today because of the LifeVac.Ó - LW
