DOCTORS CREDIT ALAMEDA FIRST RESPONDERS FOR SAVING AN INFANT'S LIFE

Over the weekend, dispatchers received a call about an unresponsive infant. An attentive APD officer noticed the incoming call and immediately proceeded to the scene. As the first to arrive, the officer took the baby and performed chest compressions.

Alameda Fire personnel arrived soon after and transported the infant to a local hospital. During transport, the baby regained a pulse and began breathing on their own. Doctors acknowledged the outstanding work put forth by APD and AFD personnel, citing the baby's life was likely saved by first responders’ quick and thoughtful response.

We are proud of the timely actions taken by the parents, APD, & AFD to help one of our littlest community members.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone how to perform CPR on infants, as it is different from how CPR is performed on adults.

According to the American Red Cross, these are the steps if an is infant choking:
- Kneel beside the baby.
- Perform chest compressions by pushing hard and fast. For infants, use one or two fingers to deliver 30 quick compressions that are each about 1.5 inches deep.
- Give two rescue breaths. For infants, use your mouth to make a complete seal over the infant's mouth and nose, then blow in for one second to make the chest rise.
- Continue until you see obvious signs of life, until an AED is ready to use, another trained responder is available to take over, you're too exhausted to continue, or the scene becomes unsafe.
