Trained professional or layman, this device is for you. LifeVac is not for small children or anyone with an impairment that would impede operation of the LifeVac airway clearance device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LifeVac uses suction to remove the object instead of blunt force, unlike back slaps and abdominal thrusts, making it a much more gentle and effective way than other remedies for expelling something from your body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LifeVac-product-kit.jpg\" alt=\"LifeVac product kit\" class=\"wp-image-39226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LifeVac-product-kit.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LifeVac-product-kit-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The newest number saved from choking with LifeVac is already <a href=\"https:\/\/lifevac.net\/9-year-old-girl-saved-from-choking-with-lifevac-296\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">301 lives<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"yellow-notice\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Choking is dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

It can be used by anyone, even those without medical knowledge, and the lack of prescription makes it a great household item for emergency prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-lifevac-work\">How Does LifeVac Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/lifevac-product-vid.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac is a semi-closed system that uses mechanical force to generate a quick but powerful burst of suction to create a negative-pressure environment within the airway. This unit encases obstructions in a vacuum and pulls them up out of the airway into the light of day, where they can do no more harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LifeVac unit accomplishes this through the same principle that makes a plunger work, namely by getting a sufficiently tight seal and following with a quick downward-upward thrust. While one hand holds the mask to the choking victim's face, the other hand manipulates the handle above the accordion folds of the suction device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lifevac-Place-Push-Pull.jpg\" alt=\"place push pull\" class=\"wp-image-29357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lifevac-Place-Push-Pull.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lifevac-Place-Push-Pull-500x268.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lifevac-Place-Push-Pull-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lifevac-Place-Push-Pull-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upon the downstroke<\/strong>, the plastic accordion section of the suction device's body compresses downward toward the mask, forcing air out of its one-way valve. A vacuum chamber has effectively been created inside the mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upon the upstroke<\/strong>, the one-way valve closes to prevent loss of the seal and the obstruction comes flying out into the mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, the object is removed with the first pull, but you can repeat the process if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once the obstruction is confirmed OUT<\/strong>, the rescuer is free to assist the patient via BLS resuscitation methods. The LifeVac unit is so simple to use that once a victim's blocked airway is resolved, other supportive measures may need to be taken until the victim has recovered sufficiently to be out of immediate danger. This is why LifeVac recommends that rescuers be trained in BLS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"545\"

Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choking is preventable. Food accounts for over 50% of choking accidents, but other objects that can cause this are coins and buttons, basically small objects that can easily fit into our mouths. Be aware if your child has found any toy parts in the room. Check under the furniture or in between cushions for any small items before they try to swallow them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to keep your little ones safe when playing with toys is by following the guidelines found on toys' packaging. Don't let them play near anything that could cause choking, like balloons or other objects. Also, make sure they don't bite into any latex material as it may get stuck inside their mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please keep your kids away from the following foods and objects:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wptb-table-container wptb-table-47463\"><div class=\"wptb-table-container-matrix\" id=\"wptb-table-id-47463\" data-wptb-version=\"2.0.18\" data-wptb-pro-status=\"true\"><table class=\"wptb-preview-table wptb-element-main-table_setting-47463 edit-active\" data-reconstraction=\"1\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-table-tds-sum-max-width=\"263\" data-wptb-cells-width-auto-count=\"2\" data-wptb-table-directives=\"eyJpbm5lckJvcmRlcnMiOnsiYWN0aXZlIjoiYWxsIiwiYm9yZGVyV2lkdGgiOiIxIiwiYm9yZGVyUmFkaXVzZXMiOnsiYWxsIjpudWxsfX19\" role=\"table\" data-wptb-header-background-color=\"#f9f9f9\" data-wptb-even-row-background-color=\"#ffffff\" data-wptb-odd-row-background-color=\"#ffffff\" data-table-columns=\"2\" data-wptb-extra-styles=\"LyogRW50ZXIgeW91ciBjdXN0b20gQ1NTIHJ1bGVzIGhlcmUgKi8=\"><tbody><tr class=\"wptb-row\" data-wptb-bg-color=\"#f9f9f9\" style=\"background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"0\" data-x-index=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-icon-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-icon-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;

A Fundamental Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today's version of LifeVac improves on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwweekly.com\/2020\/02\/22\/suction-friction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">10-year-old former self<\/a> by being much simpler and by incorporating a mask into the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac\u2019s closest counterpart on the market is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wE0fEM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dechoker<\/a>, another nonpowered hand-operated airway clearance unit. Unlike the LifeVac unit, it relies on a suction tube that extends down into the victim\u2019s airway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its invasiveness and possible greater margin for user error, Dechoker would seem to be less user-friendly to the layman. Since it requires putting a tube down a victim\u2019s airway without causing other life-threatening complications, Dechoker's would be more effective being used by highly-trained rescuers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac is quite user-friendly and can be used by anyone whether or not they have medical training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-lifevac-s-features-and-what-is-it-all-about\">What Are LifeVac\u2019s Features and What Is It All About?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-is-simple-to-operate\">LifeVac Is Simple to Operate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LIFEVAC | The Best Choking Rescue Device Right Now\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HMlvcvXQXSs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac provides free video training in the above video. It is easily operated with one hand by holding the mask to the victim\u2019s face with the thumb and index finger and stabilizing the unit with the other three fingers. It requires a small amount of steadiness to hold the mask to the face while the other hand pushes down and pulls back up to generate the suction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a lot of moving or connecting parts, LifeVac saves time when it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-operates-manually\">LifeVac Operates Manually<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is nonpowered, there are no wires, cables or plugs to worry about keeping organized while trying to get to the choking victim. All it requires is a simple down-up stroke. No gauging, measuring or counting seconds is required to get the right amount of suction in one stroke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is ascertain that you've positioned the mask properly, push down, and then push up, leaving you free to stay focused on what's happening with the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-is-very-portable\">LifeVac Is Very Portable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/travel-case-lifevac.jpg\" alt=\"lifevac travel kit\" class=\"wp-image-39225\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightweight and small enough to fit into a medical bag, handbag or backpack, it can be kept handy just about anywhere in case an emergency arises. Just pull it out, affix the correct mask, and you're ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-materials-is-lifevac-made-out-of\">What Materials Is LifeVac Made Out Of?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this kind of device, a little bit of give is a good thing in terms of the recoil factor caused by the downward-upward motion that creates sufficient suction to unblock the airway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although in general plastic has less versatility than metal in terms of temperature fluctuations, it does not have the reactivity of some kinds of metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac can be offered at a very reasonable price because, being made here in the United States, it can be produced less expensively and the quality control can be more easily monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-can-be-used-on-any-person-weighing-over-22-pounds\">LifeVac Can Be Used on Any Person Weighing Over 22 Pounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is not appropriate for use on babies, LifeVac has been successfully used on them as well as on toddlers to remove candy and other items from the airway--with no ill effects. In fact, to date LifeVac's success rate is 100%. There are no cases in which anyone has been harmed by its use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-is-ergonomically-designed-with-accuracy-and-ease-in-mind\">LifeVac Is Ergonomically Designed with Accuracy and Ease in Mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the correct hand technique of holding the mask on the face while delivering the treatment, a proper seal around the edges is formed between the soft inflated rim of the mask and the chin, cheeks and glabella (the lower forehead at the top of your nose, between the eyebrows). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is that this configuration creates a seal that results in a kind of mini-vacuum chamber inside the mask, effectively leveraging the isolated nose and mouth within to access the blockage in the airway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac was designed to eliminate the need for a lot of sizing, which helps you stay focused and cuts the time required to apply suction. There are no settings or adjustments other than switching the mask from adult to pediatric or vice-versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-delivers-quickly\">LifeVac Delivers Quickly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The LifeVac device works in about 1 second to produce the right amount of suction needed to clear the airway. Because it works so rapidly, the application of each dose of suction has a better chance of achieving a positive outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifevac-is-noninvasive\">LifeVac Is Noninvasive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes when an obstruction blocks the airway it can\u2019t be seen. Anything that goes into the mouth in an attempt to relieve choking could push the obstruction further down into the windpipe. This becomes a nonissue when you use LifeVac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-doesn-t-require-a-lot-of-thinking-or-analysis\">Doesn't Require a Lot of Thinking or Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the nice features about LifeVac is its ease of use by anyone, whether it be bystanders, emergency medical technicians, friends or family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac can be conveniently kept in a closet or drawer so that if it\u2019s ever needed it can be reached on a moment\u2019s notice. Due to temperature extremes, it probably wouldn\u2019t be a good idea to keep it in a glove compartment, but it will fit just as easily in a shoulder bag and can be easily carried around with you for quick access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Laura-Curran-Pat-Ryder-lifevac.jpg\" alt=\"ny state lifevac\" class=\"wp-image-39285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Laura-Curran-Pat-Ryder-lifevac.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Laura-Curran-Pat-Ryder-lifevac-500x481.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Laura-Curran-Pat-Ryder-lifevac-768x738.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New York State Officials recognizing LifeVac for the safety it provides.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-features\">Additional Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac is a <strong>one-time, one-patient-only device<\/strong>, meaning that if it is ever used to stop a victim from choking, it cannot be used again for another person or incident.

This is needed to ensure that the suction will function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the degree of quick focused pressure created by the downstroke, the mask has a <strong>one-way valve<\/strong> to prevent pushing an obstruction down further into the airway. The valve acts as a pressure escape valve that prevents excessive pressure from building up within the mask, leaving the obstruction intact for the vacuum to pull out on the upstroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the vacuum is created on the upstroke, the valve closes to prevent air from rushing into the mask, thus allowing the suction to pull the obstruction out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fear-from-patients\">Fear From Patients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nurse-lifevac.jpg\" alt=\"Nurse lifevac\" class=\"wp-image-39293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nurse-lifevac.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nurse-lifevac-500x247.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zoopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nurse-lifevac-768x379.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For conscious choking victims, the fear and anxiety can become overwhelming. Studies have shown that both states intensify sensitivity and lead to more deeply intensified levels of pain and discomfort. There is a lot to be said for making a choking victim as comfortable as possible, as other studies have shown that this can lead to a more positive outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these things in mind, the <strong>cushiony rim<\/strong> on LifeVac's full-face mask prevents the vacuum from causing the patient extra discomfort during operation, even though we're talking about only a second\u2019s-worth of vacuum forces during the extraction phase. To someone in a state of fear or anxiety, that second can feel like a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ambu-mask seal has to be soft enough on the victim's face so as to not cause further trauma. A choking victim may lose consciousness and fall to the floor. Not only will this Often speed things up to overdrive--with any kind of fall, there's always the possibility that a head injury will have been added to the issue of the obstructed airway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that is the case, then the last thing you want is to be clamping down on the victim's face with a hard-edged mask. Not only is that uncomfortable, it could cause the victim's head to recoil, further opening the pathway to other complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac's design takes all of this and more into consideration. It makes most situations like this scenario fade into the background. It makes things extremely simple and accessible for rescuers who may lack advanced medical training but know how to use the LifeVac. For this reason, LifeVac is a no-brainer to have around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-force-to-apply-when-using-it\">How Much Force To Apply When Using It?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac administers the kind of force needed to solve the problem without traumatizing the soft tissues of the face. This is especially important if it becomes necessary to repeat the procedure to clear the airway. However, if it has to be applied more than once, this will continue to hold steady the choking victim's comfort level with the mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch the free training video on LifeVac's website and do some practice sessions to familiarize yourself with its feel, shape and the amount of force needed to activate the suction. Once customers have become familiar with its operation, they feel confident that if they ever have to use it, they can do so without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don't need a medical certification to be able to use LifeVac correctly and save someone's life. This is one of the easiest and most effective tools to help someone who can't help him or herself in the midst of choking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since LifeVac would be used ideally only after basic life support attempts have failed to dislodge the obstruction from the airway, it is still recommended to have at least BLS-level training whenever possible in order to be able to handle the associated issues such as stabilization of the head while holding the mask on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-use-lifevac-on-yourself\">Can You Use Lifevac on Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LifeVac is designed to be easy enough for the average person living alone so that they can use it on themselves in case of an emergency.
