A 3-month-old baby girl was rescued by the Military Fire Department of Mato Grosso do Sul after choking on milk in Miranda. She was brought to the fire station in a critical condition, unconscious, struggling to breathe, and with a bluish tint to her skin, indicating a possible aspiration of milk prior to her arrival. The firefighters acted quickly, performing the Heimlich maneuver designed for infants, which resulted in the ejection of the milk that was obstructing her airway.

The dramatic rescue was captured on video, showing the firefighter's quick response as he arrived at the fire station entrance and began the choking procedure for babies under one year old. Within moments, the baby girl responded to the techniques applied; she began to cry, opened her eyes, and her breathing improved notably. Following the immediate emergency care provided at the station, she was stabilized and subsequently transported to the Renato Albuquerque Municipal Hospital for further evaluation and medical attention.

The incident highlights the importance of prompt action in choking emergencies, particularly with infants, where time is critical. The effective measures implemented by the firefighters not only saved the infant's life but also underscore their crucial role in the community. The video of the incident serves as an educational reminder for parents about potential choking hazards and the vital steps to take in such scenarios.
