Recently, a rapid phone ring was heard in the dispatching and command hall of the Beijing Emergency Center. The dispatching doctor received a call for help from a mother. "The baby got something stuck in his mouth!" The dispatching doctor immediately sent an ambulance and communicated with the mother at the same time. "I sent you a link to the video guidance by text message. Click the link to enable me to check the situation on the scene. You don't have to hang up the phone." With the mother's consent, the dispatching doctor started the video medical guidance. A grandparent was scratching the baby's throat in the video. The dispatching doctor observed that there was some blood on the child's mouth and the adult's hands. After asking, it was determined that it was caused by scratching. "Don't let her scratch herself. I'll tell you what to do." The dispatching doctor immediately stopped the family's wrong behavior and provided correct first aid measures. Soon, the ambulance arrived at the scene and quickly sent the child to the emergency department of the hospital. The doctor clamped a small bottle cap from the baby's throat with tweezers.
