Loli-O's was conceived by a veteran Paramedic while transporting a young child. The physician ordered the paramedic to administer continuous breathing treatments during the transport to another hospital; which was over an hour away. The patient was already anxious and apprehensive due to the onset of asthma, as well as the attempts at delivering mask and mouthpiece nebulizer treatments in the ER.
During the transport, the patient would become more excited and upset during the treatment attempts which in turn caused shortness of breath, heartrate to increase, and oxygen level to decrease; definitely not the direction to go!
While at a convenience store after the transfer, the paramedic noticed a man with a small child at checkout, when the child grabbed a handful of lollipops and placed them on the counter.
Now, 5 years later, Loli-O's is ready to help kids get the treatments they need with a lot less anxiety and a whole lot more fun!
