LifeVac helps save its 122nd life within Hallmark Care Homes

The team at LifeVac Europe is very pleased to share more amazing news that LifeVac has helped save yet another life in the UK Adult Care Sector. This time within Hallmark Care Homes, making this our 122nd life saved within Hallmark Care Homes since their group rollout.

An elderly resident was eating his dinner when he came into difficulty, a piece of chicken become lodged in his airway and he began to choke. Staff acted quickly delivering BLS choking protocol (back blows and abdominal thrusts) which unfortunately failed to dislodge the obstruction. The gentleman became unconscious, nurses grabbed their LifeVac wall-mounted kit and deployed LifeVac. Within seconds LifeVac dislodged the chicken and the gentleman started to breathe and regained consciousness.
