Has anyone ever used or have in their house the anti choking suction devices ?

Are they any good to use when someone is choking ?

Just use a vacuum cleaner

Do airway suction devices work?

 

 

In 26 out of 35 patients, previous conventional airway clearance techniques such as Heimlich maneuvers were performed and were unsuccessful. The Dechoker® device successfully resolved airway obstruction in 33 out of 35 cases, leading to the restoration of normal breathing.

The Lifevac is more highly rated than the Dechoker. It is also easy to purchase on Lazada.

 

I might get one. One time I can close to death in Thailand was choking on some stringy meat. Nobody helped despite sitting in a busy shopping centre. I had to just pull the meat out, causing quite a bit of blood loss from a tear. The restaurant owner later said he thought I was reacting to the food being too spicy. Now I've experienced people's indifference I want to be better prepared.

 

I've heard people, especially women, out of embarrassment from the choking, will head to the toilets, and then there will die.

I suspect you could, but you'd need to use it very quickly before you lack the energy/air to use it.
