Inside Edition has again just featured the heroic actions of Acworth Police Department’s Corporal Tamara Severtson, who saved a man’s life after he began choking on a water bottle cap.
This marks the second life she has saved using the LifeVac device! When seconds mattered, Corporal Severtson acted swiftly — and thanks to her training and the LifeVac, this man is alive today.
The LifeVac acts like a plunger and uses suction to clear an airway and remove foreign objects from choking victims when methods like the Heimlich maneuver don’t work. The rescue suction device is available to the public.
