LifeVac: 5 Simple Ways to Help Prevent Choking Deaths

LifeVac helps put the spotlight on National Choking Awareness Day

LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK – (March 04, 2022) – March 28th is National Choking Awareness Day, making it a great time to spotlight this preventable silent killer. According to StatPearls, around 5,000 people die each year from choking, making it the fourth leading cause of unintentional death. Choking is the leading cause of infantile death and the fourth leading cause of death among preschool children. The good news is that there are things we can do to help reduce the risks and help save lives. 

“Over ten years ago, I encountered the tragic story of a mother losing her young son due to choking,” says LifeVac Founder and CEO Arthur Lih. “A father myself, I successfully developed a non-invasive upper airway clearing device intended to save as many lives as possible, and this year we are celebrating our tenth anniversary!”

The patented first-aid device can be used on children and adults, and it’s easy enough for anyone to use. Placed over the mouth of someone choking, it creates a seal. When the plunger is pushed in and then pulled, it makes a high-powered suction cup that vacuums out the obstruction. Over the last decade, LifeVac has grown on a global scale and is available worldwide. With 5 peer-reviewed journals and hundreds of lives already saved, with continued awareness, training, and education LifeVac could save thousands of lives a year. 

As we approach, National Choking Awareness Day, here are 5 ways to help prevent choking deaths:

“Choking is something that can happen to anyone, so the more we can be prepared by having a LifeVac on hand, the more we can save lives,” added Lih. “If we all work together to raise awareness and become better prepared, we can help greatly reduce the number of deaths per year from choking.”
