A miracle. Firefighters posted a video on twitter where we witness the rescue of a baby who is no longer breathing. For 2 minutes and 50 seconds, the rescuer guides the mother by telephone.
We can never repeat it enough, first aid gestures save lives. This mother, who has shown exceptional courage, experienced it a few months ago. On the phone with a firefighter, she managed to resuscitate her two-month-old baby. The appeal was posted on Twitter on February 23, 2023 by rescuers and has been listened to over 130,000 times. It must be said that the audio is overwhelming. For 2 minutes and 50 seconds, we hear the exhausted mother follow the instructions of the operator until her child finally opens his eyes. “Hello sir, this is my two-month-old baby boy who is all blue. […] He’s not breathing anymore: this is how the recording starts.
Second by second, the firefighter guides the mother in cardiac massage
Very quickly, the rescuer takes matters into his own hands and guides the mother after having gathered the information necessary to send a team on the spot. He asks her to put the child on a table at height and to unfasten her bodysuit. “The head, we leave it as it is and we’re going to come and blow and cover the nose and the mouth with your mouth. Go ahead and do it. We start four times in a row madam, it’s important”, explains the firefighter. But the baby does not regain consciousness.
He continues without losing his cool: “Now ma’am we’re going to make cuts, Its very important. You are ready ma’am, let’s go”. He explains how to perform the massage and then sets the pace. “Come on, let’s go. Top, top, top, top, top…”. At the 14th top the miracle occurs. “That’s it, that’s it, he opens his eyes”.
“Take him in your arms. It’s fine, that’s great. Now you keep him in your arms quietly. It’s very good what you did ma’am”, continues the fireman. According to TF1, who met the mother and her child, the call dates back several months and the child is fine today.
