[post_page_title]What to do in this situation[/post_page_title]
If this tragic situation or a similar one occurs, there important things to remember. First, if the child is conscious, it’s critical to remove any excess clothing and apply cold compresses to the body such as ice, water, wet towels, etc. If the baby isn’t conscious, then CPR is necessary, as Lt. Short performed in this heroic story. Emergency services should be called regardless because hospitalization could be a possibility or they can at least help explain what to do while waiting for an ambulance.
