Dechoker Anti-Choking Device for Adults (Ages 12 Years and up), 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

With a twenty plus year working relationship we now place Jo and the team at the top of our distributor list. Two participants had received training in person, three completed online training and one participant received both forms of training. Henry Heimlich first recommended abdominal thrusts to expel any foreign body causing airway obstruction ( 14). A 2021 manikin trial had a 99 percent success rate when medical student participants used a LifeVac to remove an object from a manikin’s throat.

LifeVac Anti-choking Device® can be to someone who is a wheelchair user, a pregnant person or someone who is larger in stature.According to Weiss, if the child is big enough to stand up on their own, you can if necessary proceed to the Heimlich maneuver. We’ve built a strong working relationship with Hcsuk over many years, having used them to source, install and service our medical training equipment. The Dechoker “Protocol For Use” clearly states that Resuscitation Council UK guidance should be followed ( 2), with the victim being unresponsive prior to the DeChoker being deployed. Many of the staff interviewed reflected on the lack of specific guidelines for their client group and the uncertainties this creates. Air is forced out of the sides of the device, which creates a vacuum that (in theory) sucks the object out of the airway when the lever is immediately pulled back again.

The case study evaluation provided an holistic understanding of impact and included four embedded units of analysis ( 23), cases of individual incidences of DeChoker use within the care home setting, explored in depth to provide a granular level of detail and support comparisons across several cases.Initial reduction and display of data was undertaken as preliminary analysis strategy by tabulation of data from the PMCF forms ( 27).
