Boys Help to Save Infant's Life With CPR Lessons Learned From A Poster
CPR - cardiopulmonary resuscitation (сердечно-легочная реанимация, искусственное дыхание)
The next time you see a CPR poster at school or are asked to examine the safety instructions while in an airplane, be sure to be attentive. Besides being vitally useful to you personally, knowing what to do may save someone else's life.
Nine-year old Rocky Hurt and ten-year old Ethan Wilson, were playing football in their front yard in Marietta, Georgia, USA when a neighbour they had never met, suddenly rushed out of her house shouting at them to call 911. That hysterical woman was Susanna Rohm whose 12-week old baby had suddenly stopped breathing. In her panic, she had been unable to locate her cell phone and had decided to seek help.
After getting their parents to make the call, the two boys followed the unhappy mother to see if they could do anything to help. And they did help! As Susanna was trying to perform CPR on her baby, young Rocky stepped in and told her she was doing it all wrong. Instead he asked her to “use two fingers, push on the chest 5-10 times, bend back the baby's head, plug the nose and then perform a mouth-to mouth resuscitation by breathing into the baby's mouth”.
Luckily for him and the baby, Susanna did not doubt his advice for even a second and was soon rewarded with a loud scream from the infant! It turned out that her baby who later spent two days at the hospital under observation, suffered from a sleep disorder that causes abnormal breathing patterns.
The most amazing part of this heartwarming tale is that the boys have never attended a CPR class. Instead, they learned it all by carefully reading the posters on the walls of their elementary school cafeteria. And, while they are now being hailed as heroes and even interviewed on national television, they don’t really care. They are just glad to have saved the baby's life!
