Abstract:
1. A device for dislodging an object obstructing a person's airway comprising: a through passage having a through portion including an inlet port at one end and an exhaust port at an opposite end; a curved passage forming a portion of the exhaust port and extending away from the through portion; a vacuum passage connected to the through passage at a connection region between the inlet port and the exhaust port of the through passage, the vacuum passage including a vacuum outlet port and a vacuum inlet port communicating with the through passage; and a source of pressurized air having a release port mounted to the inlet port of the through passage, whereby airflow from the source of pressurized air creates a first directional airflow through the through passage at the connection region and a second directional airflow through the vacuum passage in a direction substantially normal to the first directional airflow such that the second directional airflow creates a vacuum capable of dislodging the object obstructing the person's airway.
