- Great Western Air Ambulance Charity was called to mum, Niky's, four-year-old daughter when she found her in bed not breathing. Jasmine was unconscious, suffering a respiratory arrest and in need of emergency care, fast. GWAAC's helicopter and Critical Care Team were dispatched to the incident in Gloucestershire.
The video shows how Jasmine's story unfolded when Critical Care Doctors Scott and Andrew, and Specialist Paramedic in Critical Care, Jack, arrived on the scene less than 20 minutes after the call-out.
Jasmine was very unwell. She had stopped breathing and needed an emergency anaesthesia - an intervention that our specialist crew can deliver on scene. They put Jasmine into an induced coma, taking over her breathing and preventing any further complications, before airlifting her to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
