Si el bebé no responde, deja de respirar o se torna de color azul se debe:
Gritar pidiendo ayuda.
Brindar al bebé RCP y llamar al 911 después de 1 minuto de administrar RCP.
Tratar de desalojar el objeto que obstruye la vía respiratoria ÚNICAMENTE si la persona lo puede ver.
NO SE DEBE:
Interferir si el bebé está tosiendo con fuerza, presenta llanto fuerte o está respirando adecuadamente. Sin embargo, se debe estar listo para actuar si los síntomas empeoran.
Tratar de agarrar o halar el objeto si el bebé está consciente.
Llevar a cabo estos pasos si el bebé deja de respirar por otras razones, como asma, infección, inflamación o un golpe en la cabeza.
