That being said, have you ever come across a 2-year-old toddler administering the basic emergency techniques?
In one clip, an adorable Saige, dressed in a pink T-shirt and trousers, shows us how easy it is to perform CPR. The little girl carries out chest compressions and rescue breaths on a test-dummy, all by herself.
The incredible part was Saige mastered the life-saving techniques before she could even learn to walk.
And as monkey see, monkey do!
“When Saige performs her skills in front of people, they’re amazed and start to take pictures and videos,” he added.
In Pietroforte’s opinion, kids can perform the life-saving techniques to the popular children’s song Baby Shark.
“Any song that’s between 100 to 120 bpm, you can do it to,” he said.
You'll be surprised to know that little Saige has outdone many adults, because she knows how to operate a defibrillator, and even the correct rate to do chest compressions.
Funnily, someone actually did drop out of an EMT class because he felt embarrassed that little Saige outdid him.
“He left because he didn’t wanna be outdone by a 2-year-old,” Pietroforte said.
It’s no wonder Pietroforte thinks Saige will follow in his footsteps to be an EMT when she grows up.
According to Storytrender, Pietroforte said, “When asked what she wants to do when she gets older, she says ‘help with big owies.’”
Hence, Pietroforte’s goal is “to get as many people out there trained” in this emergency life-saving procedure.
In an email, he told The Epoch Times: “It is a great life saving skill to learn. When people need help and if there are a lot of people train out there to do CPR there us a better chance for survival.”
“I think everyone should learn CPR,” he said. “It is an important skill for people to learn because it helps everyone in need.”
“If a two-year-old can learn what’s stopping adults from learning?” he continued.
Certainly, it’s always handy to master these basic emergency techniques that could save anyone’s life, including your parents, kids, or even a stranger. And there’s no excuse for not learning it, because if a 2-year-old can perform CPR, you can too!
