Rescue 13 and Engine 13 C shift responded to a trouble breathing call involving a two year old female. Upon arrival rescue breathing was already being performed by the father. The AFD units took over the life-saving efforts. With drug intervention along with proper ventilation she was able to make a quick recovery. Because of the positive outcome, the Dr. involved would like to use this call as a teaching tool as a great example of competent and effective airway and drug intervention; also highlighting the importance of proper and effective ventilation with a BVM. R13 and E13 should be proud of themselves for their ability to utilize their skills in such a stressful situation and obtain a positive outcome. Lt. J. Baldwin, Lt. S. Tovar, Dr. R. Garcia, Dr. A. Ortega, FF B. Jackson, FF D. Curtis were honored and presented with a plaque from the IAFF Local 244 Executive Board on April 10, 2013.
