Police save two-day-old baby who was choking

A newborn baby, just two days old, was saved by military police officers in Mato Grosso. The case took place in Cuiabá, the state capital, on Monday night (7).

According to the police, the child’s parents were desperate and took the baby to the Military Police battalion in search of help.

A police team that was patrolling the region was immediately called to return to the battalion. When officers arrived, they found the child having severe difficulty breathing.

Then, the military quickly applied the Heimlich maneuver, a first aid technique used to open the airways, helping the newborn to expel what was blocking her breathing.

After a few minutes of maneuvering, the baby began breathing normally again. She was then taken with her parents to an Emergency Care Unit (UPA), to receive medical care and remain under observation.
