"During dinner, the resident presented signs of choking and difficulty breathing. A staff member performed the Heimlich maneuver. Unfortunately, it was not effective. The Dechoker device was used (3 times) to extract foam from the resident. He recovered and maintains a stable condition."

"At lunch, the nursing assistant was cutting the meat into small pieces. Due to his dementia, the resident took several pieces into his mouth and swallowed them all at once. The nursing supervisor, with the help of the assistant, used the Dechoker and saved the patient."

"A resident was eating and suddenly began to cough, presenting respiratory distress. A ball of food was observed in the throat, so the nursing staff used the Dechoker. On the third attempt, the piece of food came out. Afterwards, his throat was observed and there was no presence of anything. The resident began to breathe without complication."
