LifeVac is delighted to share news of our 455th life saved
On August 14th a 32-year-old female choked on cashews. She was cleaning up her home and grabbed a handful of cashews. She was unable to cough them up. She used the rescue device on herself as her family was still sleeping upstairs.
“This morning, I was cleaning because I just couldn’t sleep. Everyone else was sleeping so I figured what the heck I’ll clean my house. There was a large container of whole cashews on my table I opened to snack on while I cleaned up. I start throwing things away and trip on my son’s toy. I started choking. Sucked them right down my throat. I thought to myself I can get these up, don’t panic. I couldn’t so I grabbed the LifeVac. I didn’t get it together right because I was panicking so much. After several tries, it pulled them out and they hit the table. I sat down and shook and cried. I never never thought I’d have to use his on myself, and I broke my own rule of never eating alone. But I’m ok, I’m here thanks to having a LifeVac.”
