LifeVac helps save 2nd life within Priory Group in a choking emergency!

It’s with great pleasure, we are able to share wonderful news that LifeVac has been used again within the Adult Care Sector in the UK.

In 2020 Priory Group undertook a group roll out of LifeVac, as part of an improvement plan in how they manage choking emergencies.

A resident began to choke during meal time, which became a full airway obstruction. Staff acted very quickly delivering BLS Choking protocol which failed to dislodge the obstruction. Staff then grabbed their LifeVac wall mounted kit and deployed LifeVac within seconds. LifeVac dislodged the full airway obstruction saving the residents life.

Eric Banagan, LifeVac Europe’s MD commented: “We are thrilled to be informed LifeVac has been used once again within Priory Group. We want to thank the amazing staff and all the hard work that they do every day. We were informed of 3 more lives being saved last week within the adult care sector in the UK and look forward to sharing news of those in due course”.
