00:00:02,065 --> 00:00:07,035
Now we have a case where an infant is conscious, but is choking.

2
00:00:07,035 --> 00:00:11,009
We know that because they're not able to move any air.

3
00:00:11,009 --> 00:00:14,017
They're not breathing, they're not coughing, they're not crying.

4
00:00:14,017 --> 00:00:17,073
They might be gagging, they might be trying to breathe,

5
00:00:17,073 --> 00:00:20,024
but they can't get any air movement in or out.

6
00:00:20,024 --> 00:00:24,043
If this happens, we recognize this as an emergency

7
00:00:24,043 --> 00:00:27,070
so we're going to activate emergency medical services,

8
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:30,002
call a code, or call 911.

9
00:00:30,002 --> 00:00:35,057
Then we're going to immediately support the baby's face

10
00:00:35,057 --> 00:00:39,028
with the hand and the arm supporting the baby's torso

11
00:00:39,028 --> 00:00:44,062
making sure to have the head lower than the baby's torso and legs.

12
00:00:44,062 --> 00:00:49,092
Supporting with the leg, we're going to give five back slaps between the shoulder blades.

13
00:00:49,092 --> 00:00:53,005
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

14
00:00:53,005 --> 00:00:55,005
Support the head and the body.

15
00:00:55,005 --> 00:00:56,059
Flip the baby over.

16
00:00:56,059 --> 00:01:00,080
With two fingers, right between the breasts, on the sternum,

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,078
we're going to give five chest thrusts.

18
00:01:03,078 --> 00:01:06,052
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

19
00:01:06,052 --> 00:01:08,069
About a third of the depth of the chest.

20
00:01:08,069 --> 00:01:11,012
If the object has still not come out,

21
00:01:11,012 --> 00:01:15,049
the baby is still not breathing, unable to cough, unable to cry,

22
00:01:15,049 --> 00:01:17,029
the obstruction is not clear.

23
00:01:17,029 --> 00:01:21,069
Because the baby is conscious, we do not have to necessarily look in the mouth

24
00:01:21,069 --> 00:01:23,052
to try to find the object

25
00:01:23,052 --> 00:01:25,015
because, again, the baby's conscious,

26
00:01:25,015 --> 00:01:27,062
so if it does come out, I'm sure the baby's going to let us know that.

27
00:01:27,062 --> 00:01:31,027
So we're going to return right back into the back slaps

28
00:01:31,027 --> 00:01:34,034
followed by the chest thrusts, and we're going to repeat

29
00:01:34,034 --> 00:01:36,091
this process until the object comes out.

30
00:01:36,091 --> 00:01:39,097
The baby is able to breathe, cough, or cry.

31
00:01:39,097 --> 00:01:43,004
Or, the baby goes unconscious.

32
00:01:43,004 --> 00:01:45,086
And then we move to the next level of care

33
00:01:45,086 --> 00:01:50,032
for the clearing of the obstruction in the baby's airway.

34
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:54,056
Baby, baby, are you okay?

35
00:01:54,056 --> 00:01:56,054
They're not breathing, they're not responding.

36
00:01:56,054 --> 00:01:59,081
Help! You in the plaid shirt. Go activate the emergency medical services

37
00:01:59,081 --> 00:02:01,036
and return - I might need your help.

38
00:02:01,036 --> 00:02:04,002
They're not moving any air: not crying, not breathing.

39
00:02:12,094 --> 00:02:14,057
Still no crying, no breathing.

40
00:02:21,029 --> 00:02:23,017
Still doesn't seem to have come out.

41
00:02:25,093 --> 00:02:29,019
At this time, the baby started crying and gagging.

42
00:02:29,019 --> 00:02:31,019
I monitor the child.

43
00:02:31,019 --> 00:02:34,046
Make sure that they're okay and they recover well and that their color gets better.
