Introduction and Background

If possible, determine what type of airway emergency is occurring. If there is an obvious deformity of the upper airway or some type of trauma that will not allow air to travel from the mouth to the lungs, make sure advanced assistance is on the way. Next, consider Technique 3 as this may be the only way to get air into the lungs. With your arms wrapped around the person, make a fist with your non-dominant hand and grasp your fist with your dominant hand. Slightly tilt the person forward if possible Thank you, thank you, thank you to the creators of Dechoker. ♥️" - Kori M. Child Saved From Gummy Bear The Dechoker is engineered in a FDA-inspected facility and uses FDA medical grade materials. As the authority on anti-choking procedures, this life saving, choking prevention device is being endorsed by more and more doctors and medical professionals.

Data quality also limits interpretation of this data. The self-reported data are not supported by medical records and were not collected by trained medical professionals. This results in important details being omitted from the data. For example, 35 patients were reported as unresponsive during ACD use, but only 10 had EMS activated. Medical oversight would improve recognition of conflicting information, resulting in further questioning and clarity in our understanding of the situation.

The tube on the adult Dechoker looks fine but on the infant one it looks too big, is this the case? Emergency room doctor Andrew Thomas doesn't recommend medical professionals or anyone else use untested equipment in a life and death situation.
