A 50-day-old infant who went into sudden cardiac arrest while drinking formula was saved thanks to a video call.

At around 2:00 PM on October 25, an emergency call to 119 was reported from a residence in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, stating that a 50-day-old infant drinking formula had turned blue in the lips and was experiencing unstable breathing.

A firefighter at the 119 EMS Situation Management Center immediately connected via video call with the caregiver to check the infant's condition and guide them through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The caregiver continued CPR while receiving video guidance until the paramedics arrived.

Paramedics who arrived at the scene then provided advanced emergency care, and the infant's heartbeat was restored following CPR.
