The Dechoker for First Responders
While chest pain sits at number one for ER visits, shortness of breath, which involves choking is at number two. Choking in children results in over 100,000 emergency room visits annually. A child dies every 5 days from choking. Many more suffer permanent brain damage. And a person dies of choking every 2 hours.
How Common is Choking?
According to Injury Facts 2017, choking is the fourth leading cause of unintentional injury death. Of the 5,051 people who died from choking in 2015, 2,848 were older than 74.
Food is most often responsible for choking incidents in the elderly. Living alone, and having dentures or difficulty swallowing can increase risk.
On the other end of the scale we have toddlers. They seem to think everything can go in their mouth, and have chewing difficulties as well. Additionally, the size of a young child’s trachea (windpipe) is approximately the size of a drinking straw in diameter. So it’s easy to see how they can choke on most everything and anything.
The Dechoker for First Responders and EMT
Now there’s the Dechoker, a device that quickly applies negative pressure to the airway to suck out whatever debris or fluid that is blocking their breathing. You simply place the face mask over the mouth of the chocking person and pull quickly on the tab in the back. The vacuum created in the Dechoker motivates the lodged item to move toward the device. It can be used by small people on large ones, large people on small or frail ones, or even by struggling choking victim on themselves.
The Dechoker uses powerful suction to remove food from the airway. It works in seconds and is easy to use on yourself or someone else. Registered as an FDA Class 1 medical device, the Dechocker is manufactured sterilized and ISO 13485 compliant.
The best part is there is no way for anyone to accidently push the debris farther down, because it employs a one-way valve. And it’s easy and simple to use with no certification classes to attend.
