Baby is found in a fish tank in rural MT and needs to be intubated

According to nurse Bruna Vitória, from the 5th Military Fire Brigade, the mother said that she was putting her other son, aged 2, to sleep and believed that the baby was with his father. Upon realizing that the child had fallen into the tank, a person at the scene carried out the first resuscitation maneuvers. According to his mother, the boy was unconscious, his body was blue and had no strength.

According to the Fire Department, as the house was far from the urban area, family members began taking the child in a private vehicle. The fire team went to meet the family and found the vehicle close to the BR-163 toll plaza, towards Sinop. Firefighters took over and found the child conscious, but with intense drowsiness and difficulty breathing.

According to firefighters, the team offered oxygen, monitored vital signs and used a thermal blanket to maintain body temperature. The boy also had a distended abdomen, possibly due to drinking water, in addition to changes in breathing.
