Introduction and Background

Resuscitation Council UK has reviewed this statement in light of the ILCOR systematic review on removal of foreign body airway obstruction (April 2021) Removal of foreign body airway obstruction (BLS 368): Systematic Review (ilcor.org) and the ILCOR 2022 Evidence Update. No new evidence was identified to alter ILCOR’s or RCUK position on suction-based airway clearance devices. RCUK recommendations therefore remain unchanged.

In 2008, Dr Gary Smith, the lead author of American Academy of Pediatrics’ policy statement on food hazards, said that some foods should simply not be given to children under the age of four or five. He named raw carrots, marshmallows, peanutsand popcornas some of the foods to avoid, because of choking hazards. She also warned about the art of throwing objects into the air to then catch in the mouth, and cutting food up into perfect circles for children. LifeVac is a non-invasive, easy-to-use airway clearance device which has already prevented more than 100 deaths in choking emergencies. However, even though the purpose of both devices is similar, when looked at closely, the two devices have a variety of differences that can often be pointers for the consumers to analyze and make a choice regarding which one of the two to buy.Calls to boycott Net-a-Porter and MyTheresa after luxury fashion platforms axe Israeli fashion designer Dodo Bar Or for 'posting video comparing Hamas to ISIS' This led two of the participants to share their experiences of previous choking incidents, which although had occurred many years previously were still very much in their minds. In both incidences the individual concerned lost their life, and the trauma of these events were obvious. If they lose consciousness and aren't breathing, you should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with chest compressions. Brain damage is possible after four minutes of choking, while it is expected if the airways haven't been cleared after eight minutes.

The device successfully removed the obstruction in 26 of the 27 cases; the remaining incident stated that although the device had not successfully removed the obstruction, the resident had managed to cough it out, with the device helping to remove excess of phlegm, allowing the resident to breathe and reduce risk of aspiration. In 16 cases abdominal thrusts were not attempted, the reports stated that these could not be attempted due to the position of the resident, with further information stated that residents were seated in a wheelchair or sat/lying in bed. The oldest resident was reported to be 101 years; special reference was made to this in the comment.
