According to Mayo Clinic choking is caused by an object blocking the throat or the tracta, which is the airway connecting the throat and lungs that helps you breathe. If an object blocks air flow to the lungs, it can prevent the person from breathing well or at all. With new anti-choking devices available on the market, you may wonder which first aid technique would work best in case of a choking emergency.
Furthermore, despite every parent's best efforts to keep their child safe from the dangers lurking in every corner of the world, tragic accidents can still happen, despite all of our best efforts. It is vital to know how you should react to a sudden tragedy and how to act. Parents and caregivers of infants or young children are encouraged and encouraged to learn CPR. This is available in many schools and hospitals and through the American Red Cross. It is recommended that anyone caring for infants or children learn how to assess, treat, and manage a choking emergency. For infants below one year old, it is best to place the infant face-down on the adult’s hip. Then, attempt back blows. After that, have the infant placed on the back and giving abdominal thrusts.

Practice in a relaxed setting so that you can master the drill should you ever need it. Dr. Angela Gardner, American College of Emergency Physicians stated that "I have an open mindset about the new devices on market for choking."
According to a 2013 report 12,000 children are admitted to hospital each year with food-choking injuries. On average in the US, one child dies every 5 days from choking on food. These airway clearance devices can be purchased.
However, not all medical authorities believe that antichoking devices are effective. This device was tested by FDA to prove its effectiveness and safety. The device is small enough to be kept in a purse, a cabinet or glove compartment in case of an emergency.
