27 lives saved and a 78% reduction in A&E visits as reported in a study of Dechoker by an NHS Trust setting the standard for ACD research.
To evidence both safety and efficacy of the Dechoker ACD an NHS Foundation Trust completed both a practical and clinical study of the device. This has now been peer-reviewed and published.
Reviewing 27 incidents where a Dechoker has been used, the study also examines the current guidance around choking.
The team at Dechoker UK are committed to one thing – saving lives in a choking emergency.
Our people work closely with our clients to support them when they need it – providing advice and guidance for those wanting to reduce the risk of choking death.
