In the Beauvais call center (Oise), that day, among the 700 calls received daily, that of a panicked mother. “Hello sir, this is my two-month-old baby boy who is all blue. He is no longer breathing, he is all blue…”, she explains in awe. Immediately, the firefighter on the phone calls in an emergency team and, from a distance, he guides the mother. “We are going to come and blow and cover the nose and the mouth with your mouth”he explains. “All right”she says. “Is it okay? Did you do it?”asks the fireman. “Oui”replies the mother again. “And it’s not moving?”asks the firefighter. “Non”she says.
Always calm, the firefighter then changes technique. “You are going to imagine, Madame, a line between her two small nipples. A line between the two. On this line, you are going to put two fingers on her rib cage”he continues.
