We have been informed that LifeVac was used again to dislodge an obstruction of the airway in the UK care sector. This time in a Roseberry Care Centre. We are extremely proud to be making such an impact in the care sector, this is our 6th-time LifeVac has been used this year to dislodge an obstruction of the airway.
On the 28th of November, LifeVac Europe was once again informed of LifeVac being used to save a choking casualty. This time the incident occurred in a Spanish care establishment when a male resident who suffers from a severe neurological disability in his 40’s started to choke on chopped up apple during snack time. BLS protocol was administered, the abdominal thrusts dislodged part of the apple but the gentleman remained in respiratory distress due to pieces of apple still blocking his airway. Staff then quickly utilized LifeVac which dislodged the remaining apple that was blocking his airway.
