Overview
- A GAC patrol answered a distress call to CIMACC 091 and found the three-year-old with cyanosis and very weak breathing before the child stopped breathing.
- Officers immediately began chest compressions and rescue breaths, actions that restored the child’s respiration after he vomited and began to cry.
- A medicalized ambulance arrived minutes later, took over stabilization, and asked police to help clear the route because of heavy traffic.
- Using CIMACC 091 to coordinate traffic cuts, police units expedited the transfer to Hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro where the family says the child is recovering favorably.
- The case highlights how local police in Spain often act as first responders by providing emergency medical aid and traffic management to speed ambulance care.
