However, the scientific evidence around these devices that are available to the public is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the ability to use the LifeVac\u00ae and DeCHOKER\u00ae devices in an adult FBAO simulated scenario, by untrained health science students.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Forty-three health science students were asked to solve an FBAO event in three simulated scenarios: 1) using the LifeVac\u00ae, 2) using the DeCHOKER\u00ae, and 3) following the recommendations of the current FBAO protocol. A simulation-based assessment was used to analyze the correct compliance rate in the three scenarios based on the correct execution of the required steps, and the time it took to complete each one.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Participants achieved correct compliance rates between 80\u2013100%, similar in both devices (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.192).
