Every moment counts in these dire situations. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so critical to be ready to act when an emergency happens, and the first step in any good preparedness plan is finding the right spot for The Dechoker.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve already taken the safeguard measure of bringing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dechoker.com\/collections\/anti-choking-devices\">Dechoker<\/a> device home, congratulations! And if you\u2019re still thinking about it and doing your research, congrats to you, too! You\u2019re well on your way to ensuring your family\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s talk about the next step. Any first-aid equipment should be stored near the place you might need it so you can have it on hand immediately. Here are some of our best suggestions for where to store The Dechoker:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<strong>In a kitchen cabinet:<\/strong> The kitchen is at the center of most family activities, and it\u2019s also where most food is consumed in the home. Food is by far the most common cause of choking across all age groups, so it\u2019s wise to keep The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dechoker.com\/collections\/anti-choking-devices\">Dechoker<\/a> near the dinner table. Additionally, a lot of families keep other emergency equipment such as a fire extinguisher or standard first-aid kit in the kitchen. The bathroom is another common spot for first-aid kits, but we think The Dechoker is better placed near the kitchen where most eating occurs.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>In the car:<\/strong> What about when you\u2019re outside the home? Just as you might keep a first-aid kit in your trunk, we recommend a Dechoker in your vehicle, too. From fast food meals in the car to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dechoker.com\/blogs\/news\/dechoker-in-the-great-outdoors-part-1-family-camping\">family camping trips<\/a> to the post-soccer practice snack, there are a lot of choking risks outside the home. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dechoker.com\/collections\/anti-choking-devices\">Dechoker<\/a> is small enough to be added to many standard first aid kits or other emergency equipment that you would commonly keep in the trunk.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>In your workplace breakroom:<\/strong> How about other locations where you spend a lot of time? Let\u2019s talk about workplaces. State and federal laws dictate that certain first-aid equipment be easily accessible at work, and for many offices and other places of business, that means in a breakroom. This is a good spot because it\u2019s usually centrally located and also where a lot of workers eat lunch. Different kinds of businesses may have good alternative locations, though, so keep that in mind for your workplace if you or your employer want to add The Dechoker to your emergency equipment.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Near high-risk patients:<\/strong> Lastly, it\u2019s important to mention locations near people who are at a high risk of choking. Young kids and elderly people are at a heightened risk, and some people have certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dechoker.com\/blogs\/news\/early-signs-of-a-swallowing-disorder\">medical conditions<\/a> that make swallowing difficult, as well. If you have a loved one who has a high risk, it may be wise to keep a Dechoker nearby at all times, whether that\u2019s in a bedside nightstand or in a diaper bag or backpack while on the go.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, The Dechoker is small in size, making it easy to store in nearly any location or to take with you outside the home. We also sell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dechoker.com\/collections\/anti-choking-devices\">The Dechoker<\/a> as part of a larger first-aid kit and with accessories such as mounting cases for businesses. Consider what would work best for you and your family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a choking emergency, a victim can suffer serious medical consequences after just four minutes without oxygen.
