The crew's foot first aid saved a child's life.

Korean Air said the crew of a 12-year-old Japanese girl, A, who had trouble breathing on a flight from Seoul to Osaka, Japan, was rescued by first aid.

At that time, A suddenly had difficulty breathing in the cabin and complained of pain. The father, sitting in the next seat, tried to get rid of the foreign object in the child's mouth, but it was not easy, while A became pale and lost consciousness.

Shortly after the situation was identified, the secretary made a broadcast to find a doctor among the passengers, but there was no doctor on board.

The urgent crew enforced the 'Heimrich Act' on Miss A. The 'Heimrich' method is a first aid method that is carried out when a foreign body is caught in the neck and falls into a suffocation.
The crew raised Miss A and continued the Heimrich Act. Strong pressure, which lasted more than 30 times, caused the crew's arm to bruise.

Then a miracle happened when I tried to do CPR. A sheep's nose and mouth sounded "hu" and the breath came back. It was confirmed that A was blocking the missing molar.

The crew then provided convenience, such as arriving at their destination and escorting them to the vacant front-flight seat for the A family to get to the hospital quickly.

In this regard, Korean Air said, "It was the result of training in preparation for emergencies that the crew could save their precious lives for an impending 30 minutes." In addition, regular cabin safety training was conducted once a year for all cabin crews to provide systematic training on cabin first aid.
