First of all, let a third party use Lifevac
When a person chokes, the urge to breathe makes them panic in most situations, and whoever is next to them must handle Lifevac correctly to save their life.
Preparation: the first important step to use Lifevac
Never lose your cool, analyze the situation while assembling the anti-choking device and place the person you have to care for lying face up and as comfortable as possible.
In addition to this, you can hold the suction cup by pressing lightly on the sides.
Begin the aspiration cycle of the object that occludes the throat with Lifevac
In addition to this, try to ensure that the person being rescued keeps their mouth semi-closed, although normally, in case of suffocation, people open their mouths as much as possible.
The second step must be done quickly and firmly. If you are not sure how to use Lifevac in this step, press firmly but not suddenly until the air is emptied from the suction cup. The valve prevents food from entering further inside.
Removal of foods that block air
In addition to this, when the individual takes a breath, he tries to tilt his body so that he completely expels the food that obstructs breathing and thus does not choke again.
