One morning on returning from the shower, her mother discovers Ryan, 2 months, “all blue” in her bed. The baby was in cardiac arrest. Even before help arrived, he was saved thanks to the composure of the firefighter who guided his mother by telephone to give him cardiac massage.
In July 2021, panicked, the mother of two-month-old Ryan contacted the Beauvais emergency call center: her baby was no longer breathing, he was “all blue”. It was a cardiac arrest. Immediately, the firefighter she had on the phone dispatched an emergency team to the scene, but at the same time, he guided the actions of this mother in distress from a distance and helped her save the infant, indicating how to provide her with cardiac massage.
Recorded, the phone call was rebroadcast by the firefighters on their Twitter account on February 24, 2023 to raise public awareness of first aid actions, publicize good reflexes that may save other lives, and also highlight the rescue operators.
Meeting a year and a half later
It is this recording that is heard in this report, as well as the stories of Caroline, the mother, and Loïc, the firefighter. “Special Envoy” witnessed their meeting, a year and a half later, when Ryan became “a little boy full of life”. Her mom wanted to put a face to the voice that supported her so well, and to “say thank you to your face” At “his son’s hero”.
A report by Clément Le Goff, Florian Le Moal, Elise Guyonnet and Baptiste Rimbert, broadcast in “Special Envoy” on March 9, 2023.
