Even though standard choking procedures should always come first, it is important for first responders to be equipped with anti-choking devices in case these fail. The LifeVac EMS Kit for Professional Use is an all-in-one package for equipping medical response teams with a reliable solution for choking incidents when other methods are unsuccessful.
If you are a responder, you’re probably aware of the imminent lethality of choking and how oxygen starvation can kill in just ten minutes. Having an MHRA approved anti-choking device is potentially vital for when basic manoeuvres prove ineffective. The LifeVac is suitably compact to facilitate this, so it is easy to keep in grab bags or trauma kits to offer rapid accessibility when it counts. The kit also comes with a variety of colour-coded face mask attachments to accelerate life-saving decision making.
The multilingual instruction booklet included gives step-by-step guidance, but here is an abridged guide on the use of the LifeVac: The first step is to attach the correctly sized mask onto the base, then position the mask so the top is over the bridge of the nose, and the bottom is between the lip and the chin. Hold the mask in place with your non-dominant hand, and use your other to depress the bellows, then pull the handle back swiftly to generate suction that removes the object. You can repeat this process either until successful or emergency services arrive.
You can find the exact list of contents in the Technical Specifications, and a handful of instructional videos from LifeVac themselves under Training Videos. If you are outfitting a medical response team, then having a trusted anti-choking device in your inventory, even as a backup, is a valuable purchase. The LifeVac EMS Kit - Professional Use is in stock now at Fire Protection Online.
Note - LifeVac very kindly offers to replace your anti-choking device after a successful use in an emergency. You can carry out the process for this here.
Important! - There is a widespread issue of counterfeits of this product and others like it, but you can be 100% sure that our offers are officially supplied by LifeVac.
Here you can view some of LifeVac's official training videos on the use of their anti-choking device.
