The family of a four-year-old child was fear-stricken after a toddler choked while eating grapes and had to be ventilated by emergency responders from Medi Response.
“The child was found unresponsive due to the blockage in the toddler’s airway caused by the grape,” Medi Response said.
The team, together with paramedics from Lenmed Advanced Life Support, successfully removed the grape and resuscitated the child before being transported to a nearby medical facility for further treatment.
“Upon arriving at the scene, our paramedics found the child unresponsive, with the grape causing a blockage of the airway.
“Our paramedics, along with the assistance of a Lenmed Advanced Life Support Paramedic, immediately removed the obstruction and initiated CPR. The child was rapidly placed on a ventilator, and through their combined efforts, they successfully resuscitated the child.
