Dechoker Anti-Choking Device for Adults (Ages 12 Years and up), 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

In addition case study methodology has been criticized within healthcare literature for its lack of rigor, however the nature of choking makes other methodologies problematic. While we hope no one will ever need to use an emergency choking device, it's important that every household has one on hand.

In 16 cases abdominal thrusts were not attempted, the reports stated that these could not be attempted due to the position of the resident, with further information stated that residents were seated in a wheelchair or sat/lying in bed.

The Dechoker® device gives you peace of mind knowing you’re always prepared and your loved ones are protected… because every second counts. Air is forced out of the sides of the device, which creates a vacuum that (in theory) sucks the object out of the airway when the lever is immediately pulled back again. Ethical review and approval was not required for the study on human participants in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements. A recent study has been released, with some insights into how effective two commercially available anti-choking suction devices are – the LifeVac and DeChoker. The number of devices nationally currently located within this setting is now several thousand, within hundreds of individual services.

During an emergency, simply place the LifeVac over the victim's nose and mouth, push down on the plunger, then pull the LifeVac up and off the victim. I would like to share that following the incident I did phone, I spoke to the speech and language therapist because the referral had gone through to them to do another assessment on [name redacted], and said that we'd used the DeChoker. In taking this approach the study sought to investigate a contemporary phenomenon (the use of DeChoker in a choking emergency) and generate an in-depth, multi-faceted understanding within a real-world context.Next, pull up on the plunger to remove the blockage — the idea is to suction the foreign object upward to clear the airway. It will also ensure that any obstruction lodged in your throat won’t get further down into your airways. Three interviewees did not have any difficulties accessing the device, however, in one incidence a distressed staff member struggled to open the box, which was then swiftly opened by another member of staff. The company is on a drive to convince regulators to relax the current restrictions in the UK, which it says do not apply in other countries.
