Au Pairs from Thailand work as a team to remove blockage from baby’s airway.<\/p><\/div>\n

The class was offered free of charge to Au Pairs by Au Pair in America and was hosted by Connelly School of the Holy Child in Potomac, Maryland.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a>All the young women care for small children every day as Au Pairs and they realize the importance of these lifesaving skills. They were at full attention for 5 1\/2 hours for hands-on practice, lecture and videos depicting real-life\u00a0 situations.<\/p>\n

View a video of this class as the Au Pairs learn to rescue a “choking baby”.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Frank and his team from Red Cross supplied 20 “Baby Anne” dolls which permitted hands-on practice with realistic chest compression and chest rise as well as life-like nose pinch for mouth-to-nose ventilation. The “Baby Anne” dolls also were realistic to react to foreign-body airway obstruction through back blows and chest-thrust<\/p>\n

Elise from France and Sabrina from Germany, who had never met before, became fast friends as they tended to each others’ “wounds”.<\/p><\/div>\n
