Today at my job during an intake assessment, a six month old infant’s airway became compromised. I noticed because mom stood, up and the baby took a hurl four feet long of milk all over the floor. I pulled out the garbage can from under my desk so the kid could puke in it. I asked her if I could help and was given implied consent via her worried voice and trembling hands. I took the baby and just as I had learned in an infant cpr class, here -put the baby on my left forearm, and with my wrist, pounded on her back a little bit.
It still was apneic, as bottled snotmilk was coming out of its little nose and was coughing it up,-but not inhaling!
We tried again hitting it’s little back. I was about to call 911 had the baby gone unconcious, but we looked in her mouth and pulled out a sticker. The baby started crying (clear airway) -thank God and I gave her back to her mother to hold and comfort.
Hoy un bebe se trago una cacomonia y no podía respirar. Empece con lo de RCP como descrito aquí. Y el bebe, podía respirar después un minuto de luchar por la vida.
