On Monday, the Hsinchu County Fire Department successfully helped rescue a 9-month-old baby with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Thanks to their first aid skills and high-grade medical devices in the fire department’s inventory, it only took 30 seconds to revive the little one at the hospital. Let’s take a closer look.

They turn the baby over and pat her on the back. After 30 seconds of resuscitation efforts, the baby finally lets out a small cry. She was found in critical condition at 1 p.m. Monday by her parent, who’d fed her only three minutes before. Her face had turned blue, requiring emergency care. Her frightened parent called 119 for help, and when paramedics arrived, she already had feeble vital signs. At the first minute, paramedics opened up her airway and gave her medical oxygen. About two minutes later, her spontaneous breathing resumed.

Before arriving at the hospital, firefighters quickly used a high-grade airway device for infants and carried out first aid really well. When the little one arrived, her heartbeat was quickly restored.

The rescuers say that asphyxia is the most common condition in infants requiring emergency treatment. Apart from CPR, oxygen supply is even more crucial. The Hsinchu County Fire Department recently procured a set of high-grade supraglottic airway device in infant size, which proved effective in this case.

In yesterday’s case when giving emergency first aid to the patient, we inserted a high-grade airway device, which helps deliver oxygen to the lungs effectively.

Usually in emergency first aid, we’d use a bag valve mask to give the patient oxygen. You can see in this diagram that without the other device, the air can easily enter the esophagus.

With the highest birth rate in Taiwan, Hsinchu needs to be prepared for the little ones. Thanks to the rescuers and a well-stocked inventory, the 9-month-old was successfully rescued.
