Once he was admitted, volunteer firefighters noticed he was flushed and short of breath. At the time of the incident, there were about six rescuers on the scene, and first aid was provided quickly.

According to the team, the baby produced a significant amount of milk. The airway was then cleared and visually inspected, and the victim was transported to the Pequeno Anjo Hospital in Itajaí for medical examination.

A 13-year-old child, who was treated until the baby was born, was also taken to the hospital.
