One of my biggest fears was hubby would be choking on either his food or medication. He’s always had a problem with swallowing some types of foods and those killer horse size pills. I already had taken CPR courses and recently took the Hands only course that uses The Bee Gees song Staying Alive as the tempo of the compressions.
Well with recent edema problems I realized that there was no way I would ever be able to do the Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver( he looks like he swallowed a beach ball).
I had seen on TV about the LifeVac system. I bought one today.
Another advantage of the system- anyone can use it to help their loved one or anyone who needs the help. Size of the device and the person using it is not a deterrent. The biggest issue is just using it properly. See the picture for the instructions. These come with all kits. And if Heaven Forbid you have to use it for saving a life they replace it for free.
Again I am not selling anything just information about the situation.
