A 3-year-old girl in Ashland, Ohio, was saved by police officer Soren Osicka after falling and becoming unresponsive.
Osicka performed CPR, enabling the child to breathe independently before EMS arrived.
The incident highlighted the importance of CPR training, prompting the police division to undergo refresher training.
“Without hesitation, Officer Osicka began CPR to provide the essential circulation and oxygen needed to sustain her life. Within seconds, the child began to breathe independently but abruptly stopped breathing again,” the Ashland Police Division wrote.
“Officer Osicka continued CPR until the girl began to breathe once more and respond. Officers cared for the child until EMS arrived for transport to a hospital.”
