A nine-year-old girl who saved her mother’s life by dialing 911 when she stopped breathing said she learned the technique from a famous children’s program.
In July, Charli Johnson called 911 when her mother Sharon Williams fainted at their Gold Coast home in Helensvale.
The nine-year-old hero stated that she knew exactly what to do after watching the television program “Operation Ouch.”
She told the Today Show on Saturday, “It demonstrates CPR and instructs you to call Triple 0 in an emergency, and I just remembered my address and my mother’s phone number.”
The British children’s series Operation Ouch is hosted by identical twins Dr. Chris and Dr. Xand van Tulleken.
This program investigates the human body and simplifies complex biological and medical themes into amusing pieces.
Charli stated that she performed CPR on her mother for seventeen minutes before paramedics came.
Sharon, her mother, was quite proud of her daughter for maintaining composed during the horrible situation.
She claimed, “I just asked her how she got into my phone since it was locked.”
And she demonstrated. And there is an emergency call, which she was able to handle. She was quite composed. I am quite proud of her.
Ms. Barklimore stated that the nine-year-old was one of the ‘calmest’ callers she had ever spoken with.
She stated, “I needed her to know I was with her and I intended to stay with her.”
I was able to accomplish this just using my voice.
The audio of the phone call between Charli and Barklimore revealed that the nine-year-old stayed calm while receiving CPR instructions. “My mother awoke at 6:30 this morning,” Charli informed Ms. Barklimore. “She was vomiting. I was responsible for preparing my own lunch and other meals.
She slept the entire day. She just stood up, opened the door, knelt on the ground, and passed out.
Ms. Barklimore instructed Charli to perform CPR after the girl disclosed that the situation was deteriorating.
“I believe she has stopped breathing,” Charli stated.
Ms. Barklimore then instructed Charli on how to perform CPR.
“Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone in the center of your chest, and vigorously pump the chest,” she instructed.
“Count out loud so I can count with you; I need you to continue performing compressions repeatedly.” Don’t give up.’
Together, they counted through the compressions, and Ms. Barklimore told Charli that her mother would be proud.
In the audio shared by the Queensland Ambulance Service, Charli’s mother can be heard making noises as an ambulance approaches the scene.
The schoolgirl met Ms. Barklimore and the paramedics who treated her mother on Friday.
Ms. Barklimore remarked of the schoolgirl, “She saved her mother’s life that day.”
She responded to the questions calmly and directly – this is crucial.
The Queensland Ambulance Service’s Drew Hebbron presented the young girl with a certificate of appreciation for her bravery and composure.
