LifeVac registers its 151st life saved. LifeVac Europe is very pleased to share more amazing news, LifeVac has been used once again within the UK care sector to help save a resident’s life in a choking emergency.
On this occasion, it was the first deployment within Porthaven Care Homes, which just recently deployed LifeVac across all of their care homes after receiving virtual and CPD e-learning training.
An elderly resident who relies on an electric wheelchair was enjoying their dinner when they came into difficulty and began choking on a large piece of pork, which became a full airway obstruction.
Nurses quickly administered BLS Choking protocol which unfortunately failed to dislodge the FBAO (foreign-body airway obstruction).
A team member quickly grabbed LifeVac from their wall-mounted case and within seconds LifeVac dislodged the large piece of chewed-up pork.
The resident began to breathe again and regained consciousness, making a full recovery.
“Very effective and saved patients life”
