Choking can happen at any time — LifeVac protects children from the common, life-threatening risk of choking

NESCONSET, NY — (October 21sth, 2021): LifeVac has saved 189 lives thanks to its ability to reverse the terrifying consequences of choking on food. Unfortunately, choking is a much more common hazard than most people think, especially when it comes to kids who eat unsupervised at school. What starts as a fun-filled lunch break with friends can quickly become a dangerous situation if the proper tools are not in place. With a backup device like LifeVac, parents can feel assured that they’re sending their kids off to a safe environment each morning. This is especially imperative to children with disabilities, particularly those in wheelchairs, who may have no other option in a choking emergency.

“We should all be trained on choking rescue procedures, especially those of us who work with children,” says the inventor of LifeVac, Arthur Lih. “There’s a lack of awareness about the dangers of choking. I think most people would be surprised to find out that the current standard procedures do not always work. Therefore, the best plan of action is to be prepared before it’s too late. LifeVac is an FDA-registered and highly effective device to use in a choking emergency. Every school can benefit from having a life-saving tool like LifeVac on hand at all times.”

LifeVac’s simple, user-friendly design makes it easy for anyone to use should the potentially tragic situation present itself. Teachers, administrators, and yard supervisors alike can successfully implement the device as needed, saving the lives of children no matter where at school the unexpected choking might occur. Despite popular belief, choking is a serious and common risk among both kids and adults. Some of the most disheartening choking statistics might surprise you. Here are some important safety points to consider for choking danger prevention:

● Choking is the 4th leading cause of accidental death. One child dies every five days, as well as five thousand people total a year in the US alone.

● Every year, several kids tragically choke to death while at school. This is not a rare freak accident.

● Full hot dogs and grapes are at the top of the list for high-risk choking foods.

● Abdominal thrusts are only 50% to 70% effective even when performed by a trained professional. Having a LifeVac brings the chance of survival up to 99%.
