Each year many children die or suffer from irreversible brain damage from blocked airway that prevents oxygen from getting to vital organs including the brain. There is so much in life that is taken for granted and unfortunately many parents are not aware of some of the dangers lurking in the family homes or on their dinner table.

This statistic supports the importance of parent's education about the condition, how to prevent some of the common causes and what to do if this occurs.

Prevention of choking episodes or hazards is best but it is equally important to know what to do in an emergency. http://kidsworldmd.com/search.php?ctid=6&cid=678586
