Did you know that November is Child Safety and Protection Month? Are you doing everything in your power to ensure that your children are safe? It’s a scary world we live in. As parents, it is our responsibility to provide a safe environment for our kids, but no matter how vigilant we think we are, or how many precautions we take, sometimes accidents still happen. One thing that has always scared me is the possibility of one of my children choking, because it can happen at any time, anywhere.
Did you know that choking is a leading cause of death in children? Statistics show that one child chokes to death every 5 days. A choking death occurs every two hours. Choking causes Over 100,000 visits to the ER yearly. Over 100 million Americans have no defense against choking due to pregnancy, disability, obesity or being alone.
And with babies and children having such tiny windpipes, it is extremely important to watch very carefully what they are putting in their mouths. Popcorn, hotdogs, raisins, lollipops and grapes are a few of the most common choking hazards (besides small toys, buttons, etc…)
Thankfully, I learned about the LifeVac choking rescue device. I wish I had known about it sooner, when my children were small.
What is a LifeVac?
The LifeVac is a patented airway clearance device that quickly and safely removes obstructions when someone is choking. Unlike back slaps and abdominal thrusts, LifeVac uses suction to smoothly remove the object instead of using blunt force. You use it after attempting back slaps and abdominal thrusts (if possible). It’s like a “safety net” for when all else fails.
Save a Life in 3 simple steps:
LifeVac is so easy almost anyone can use it! Simply place it on the face of the person who is choking, push and pull to save someone from choking in seconds.
1. Place LifeVac over the mouth and nose to create a seal.
2. Push! The one-way valve prevents air from pushing food or objects downward when pressed.
3. Pull- Then simply pull to create a one-way suction to remove the lodged food or object in seconds.
Think of LifeVac like a fire extinguisher- Hopefully you never need it but you should ALWAYS have one.
Although my own children are grown (and thankfully did not experience any choking incidents) my fear of one of my loved ones choking has never gone away. I now have four grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews who come to visit often, and I cannot imagine not having a LifeVac device on hand in the event of a choking emergency.
