According to research from NSC’s Injury Facts, choking is the fourth leading cause of death in the US. It can happen to anyone and often occurs when something is lodged in the throat.Philippon AL, Truchot J, De Suremain N, Renaud MC, Petit A, Baron GL, Freund Y. Medical students’ perception of simulation-based assessment in emergency and paediatric medicine: a focus group study. BMC Med Educ. 2021;21(1):586. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-021-02957-5. Lastly, at the end of each test, participants were questioned on a subjective variable, the election of one of the two anti-choking devices (LifeVac® and DeCHOKER®). Statistical analysis

It was also noted that a resident could be physically large compared with staff and that staff might sustain an injury trying to move very large or heavy residents to a position to perform resuscitation. Give five gentle but firm chest compressions with your fingers. Place two fingers just below the nipple line. Press down about 1 1/2 inches. Let the chest rise between each compression. In general, we observed a correct execution of all steps recommended by the manufacturers in both devices and no differences between them. The most failed step was, also in Carballo-Fazanes et al. [ 20] study, “ to keep the mask fixed to the victim’s airway throughout the procedure” although more than 70% of the participants achieved this with both devices. This is reflected in a high estimated correct compliance rate with both devices, being slightly higher in the case of the DeCHOKER®. Regarding the overall time of each scenario was significantly longer with DeCHOKER® than with LifeVac®, as well as Carballo-Fazanes et al. [ 20] study. These differences, based on our findings and the participants’ comments, may be related to the relative clarity of the LifeVac® instructions for use. In this regard, our results are in line with those obtained by Patterson et al. [ 21], they observed a significantly higher success rate of FBAO removal in less than 60 sec. with LifeVac® than with DeCHOKER® (82.2% and 44.4% respectively).There’s no severe pain when inserting the tube, and removing the obstruction reduces pain. Some might feel slight discomfort, but that’s about it. There’s no need to have professional training, but watching the available videos ensures that it is used properly. Michael–“Doctor Approved” As an ER physician and a new parent, choking comes unexpectedly and takes lives. This is necessary for anyone with babies. If they are choking, this is your best bet as standard practices don’t work and can damage soft developing tissue. In the incidences reported the majority were not required to attend hospital, although 85.1% of victims were reviewed by a health care professional within the care home. In the incidences explored in depth no resident was reported to have residual aspiration pneumonia. Although in two incidences mouth trauma was identified, neither could be linked directly to the use of the device and staff felt this trauma to be minor in comparison to choking itself or other resuscitation interventions that might have been utilized. In general staff felt that the DeChoker was easy to use and well designed, with the non-return valve and the clear chamber particularly useful features. They felt that the figure for accident and emergency attendance, fatality or post incident sequela might have been significantly higher if the DeChoker had not been deployed.
