Police Officers Revive Three Infants With On-Scene First Aid

The cases show regular RCP and airway-training enabled officers to stabilize newborns before emergency medical teams completed transfers.

Overview

  • Two subofficers performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a one-year-old who had stopped breathing and, with a passing motorist offering a ride, delivered the child to Hospital Iturraspe where she was admitted stabilized.
  • Police at the Capital bus terminal assisted a five-day-old who had reportedly bronchoaspirated, applied airway-clearing first aid to partially restore breathing, and handed the newborn to SAME paramedics for transfer to Maternidad Provincial 25 de Mayo.
  • In Alto Verde, officers cleared an airway obstruction in a one-month-old after breastfeeding and transported the infant by police vehicle to Hospital de Niños Dr. Orlando Alassia where doctors confirmed bronchoaspiration and said the child was out of danger.
  • The officers said their interventions relied on RCP and pediatric airway protocols practiced in training, and sources across reports noted strong emotional impacts on families and responders as well as helpful civilian cooperation during urgent transport.
  • Taken together, the incidents across separate districts indicate a pattern in which prompt police first aid stabilizes infants before hospital care, highlighting the operational value of regular emergency training and fast coordination with medical services.
