LifeVac Registers 88th Life Saved from Choking

Posted on by LifeVac

Rocío, Four years old, Overcomes a Choking Emergency Thanks to LifeVac This beautiful four-year-old girl suffered a choking last September. Rocío’s mother wanted to share a happy ending with all of us.

Her mother then tried to move the fragment that prevented her from breathing, patting the girl on the back, without getting Rocío to expel the piece blocked in her throat.

LifeVac Registers 87th Life Saved

LifeVac is so proud to announce another young life saved in a choking emergency. Read the mother’s testimonial below: A couple of months a post prompted me to buy a LifeVac while pregnant.

He had been phlegmy from spitting up earlier, and he was nursing, and then he started coughing and choking and I couldn’t get him to really take a breath AT ALL by the normal routes (back-patting, etc). He just kept choking. I freaked out and grabbed the LifeVac and used it and he immediately took a big deep breath and started screaming bloody murder at me. […]

Another child has been saved! We are delighted to share that this is the 84th life that LifeVac has saved worldwide. Here is the parent’s testimonial: “We almost lost our son due to a choking incident with a grape in October 2019. Unfortunately, we did not own a LifeVac back then and he was ultimately saved by a team effort of us, neighbors, and paramedics. After our son’s first incident, we now have a LifeVac at home and in both cars. He has since had two other issues with choking. He choked during breakfast on a piece of hard-boiled egg that created a full blockage in his airway. With one […]
