LifeVac: Do Choking Rescue Devices Work? with Brandon Doerksen

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

If your baby is choking on food will one of those choking rescue devices actually work? In this episode I’m interviewing certified CPR instructor Brandon Doerksen about whether a choking device replaces CPR for choking rescue or is used as an adjunct. Listen to learn how the choking devices work to dechoke your baby (or not) and the one thing that all parents and caregivers should do before their baby starts solid food.
