    In October, 2016, Camynn, Courtney Bruegmann’s nine month old son passed away after a choking incident at their home. Due to Camynn being an infant, the Heimlich wasn’t an option and CPR was all the rescue squad was able and trained to do. Courtney, as any parent would, wished there was “something else they could have done.”               She asked their family doctor if there were any other options anyone else in her situation could have done, and after doing some research, their doctor came upon LifeVac. Created in 2011, LifeVac is a non-invasive suction rescue device that can save a life in an air obstruction emergency. The suction pull it creates will add pressure on the person before releasing it to make a vacuum that finally plugs out the airway and cleans the track faster.
