Choking takes the lives of approximately 4,800 individuals a year in the US alone. When we send our children off to school every day we think the environment they are in is SAFE. However, in a choking emergency they may not! Choking kills one child every 5 days. It’s the 4th leading cause of accidental death in children. The list of school choking deaths is immense and continues to grow.
I want to share with you information about a rescue device that can be used in a choking emergency if current choking protocol is unsuccessful (abdominal thrusts/Heimlich maneuver or back slaps).
LIFEVAC is a rescue suction device designed to aid in opening and freeing an obstructed airway. The patent designed valve prevents air from pushing food or an object downward. This creates a one-way suction to remove the obstruction.

The inventor & CEO of LifeVac, Arthur Lih, is a lifelong resident of Long Island. He designed this life saving apparatus after hearing about a tragic choking death. While he was visiting with a friend in the hospital, keeping him company as his mom was ill, his friend told him a horrific story about an 8 yr old boy who choked on a grape and was not able to be saved. The news broke his heart especially since his daughter was about the same age. He started researching, began experimenting, day and night. He felt compelled to find a way to save someone from choking. Why in this day and age with all the medical advances and research are choking deaths still occurring?
Arthur Lih and the team at LifeVac are on a mission to eliminate choking related deaths. LIFEVAC is the only option if protocol fails. Learn how easy LifeVac is to use.
