A series of emergency medical incidents involving infants has been reported across various regions in Brazil. In July, a two-month-old infant in Apucarana was stabilized by their mother after choking on formula at a workplace before being escorted to a health unit by firefighters and SAMU personnel. In August, military police in Serrinha used the tapotagem technique to rescue a one-month-old who had stopped breathing, subsequently transporting the child to SAMU for evaluation. Further reports in mid-August detailed additional successful interventions: Military Police in Cambé restored vital signs to a one-month-old through choking maneuvers, a soldier in Timon performed airway obstruction procedures on an unconscious 13-day-old newborn, and an ambulance crew in Cascavel assisted in a birth during transport to a university hospital. Recent reports reiterate these life-saving efforts, noting that military police in Cambé successfully performed choking maneuvers to save a newborn, while a soldier in Timon performed airway obstruction procedures to revive a 13-day-old infant.
