In this part of the video, an urgent call is made to request an ambulance for the caller’s daughter who is having severe difficulty breathing and is barely responsive. The caller describes the daughter’s current state: she is conscious but not alert, not speaking, and only making a sound when her chest is pressed. The daughter has no history of breathing issues but has been sick since a recent visit to a restaurant. They’ve tried giving her various foods and drinks, but she’s been consistently vomiting. The daughter has had a fever, fluctuating body temperature, and has been acting strangely for several days. The caller has already consulted a 24-hour nurse but has not contacted their pediatrician directly. The caller attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but is unsure about its necessity due to the daughter’s faint breathing signs.
