For assessing the anti-choking devices, an adult manikin (Little Anne QCPR™; Laerdal) was used as a simulated FBAO victim. Participants had to try to resolve it only with the help of the manufacturer’s leaflet instructions, which were provided on paper as they are in reality accompanying the corresponding anti-choking device. However, for the test which evaluates the recommended protocol, a real victim who simulated a FBAO event (first mild and finally severe obstruction) was used. Participants had no instructions beyond their knowledge to solve it. No training was performed before each test, nor was any information provided to them during the tests; letting them act as if they were alone in the FBAO scenario.

Choking Rescue Home Kit Worth The Hype? Lifevac Reviews: Is This Choking Rescue Home Kit Worth The Hype?

A manikin randomized crossover study was performed. Three FBAO events were simulated to each participant, who without prior training, was encouraged to resolve them with 1) LifeVac® device (LifeVac® test), 2) DeCHOKER® device (DeCHOKER® test), and 3) following the recommendations of the current protocol for action. The start of these scenarios was randomized for the participants using a random generator. The need for ethical approval was waived by the Research Ethics Committee of Santiago-Lugo because it did not involve the use of participants’ health data, the collection of biological samples, or intervention of participants. All participants, who were over 18 years of age, signed an informed consent form before they participated in the study. The informed consent included information on the aims of the study, the possibility of leaving the study at any time they wished, and the transfer of data anonymously for research purposes. Consent for publicationMy other son, Phillip, had recently taken the CPR course with me and received training that included the lifevac. He has some processing issues among multiple other diagnoses, but he understood that his brother was choking and how to help because of his training. So, I believe that many people of different abilities and with some training could use this device to save a life, including their own. Pediatric Critical, Intermediate and Palliative Care Section, Pediatric Department. Hospital, Clínico Universitario de Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Spain Little Anne QCPR™ (Laerdal) mannequin was used as a simulated FBAO victim for the resolution of the two tests which evaluate both anti-choking devices. Variables On August 1, my 6-year-old boy had been counting the money he had just received from the tooth fairy the night before. I went down to the kitchen when suddenly he came running down, unable to breathe and began turning blue. I as a parent have never been so afraid. Before my eyes, my beautiful little boy was choking. We asked participants to give their subjective opinion of the devices once they had completed the tests, more than 50% preferred LifeVac®. Although they found DeCHOKER® to be safer, LifeVac® resulted in more intuitive, and practical and had clearer instructions. In previous studies, LifeVac® was also considered superior in terms of ease of use, safety, and confidence by participants [ 21].

LifeVac Europe Ltd - Anti-choking Device®

This manikin crossover trial study carried out at the University of Santiago de Compostela aimed to assess the ability to use the brand-new anti-choking devices (LifeVac® and DeCHOKER®) in an adult FBAO simulated scenario, by untrained health science students. Participants To give yourself abdominal thrusts, also called the Heimlich maneuver, place a fist slightly above your navel. Grasp your fist with the other hand and bend over a hard surface. Shove your fist inward and upward. Periodically, you'll see headlines online of LifeVac saving someone's life around the world. The device recently saved an 11-month boy in the United Kingdom, for example, and an elderly patient in Poland. I see Gaza collapsing, and children dying.
