So you've taken training to learn all about abdominal thrusts (formerly known as the Heimlich maneuver) as well as how assisting a choking differs on an infant. You've practiced your technique on a manikin. You've even put some thought into what you'd do if you were alone and choking (such as dialing 911 from a landline even though you can't speak and then throwing yourself over a chair, into a protruding countertop or lowered tailgate forcefully). But several new devices have been brought to market that offer an extra layer of preparedness for this frightening scenario.
After looking into a couple of the leaders in the market, Heartland CPR made the decision to offer our customers the one with the most positive outcomes. LifeVac boasts 929 lives saved by their devices as of the time of this post. They have a "hall of saves" where the story of each life saved is highlighted. Each device comes with adult and pediatric sized masks in a "kit" designed either for home use or portable for diaper bags and first aid kits.
We now have stock for purchase. They run $80 shipped or $75 when picked up at our office. This would make a great baby shower gift, gift for a young family or older couple, or just about anybody really. Want to learn more? Give us a call, shoot us an email, or place an order on our website today!
