Boy, 7, critical after Ibiza swimming pool rescue
30/05/2017
ANOTHER young child is in intensive care after being pulled out of a swimming pool in cardiac arrest, this time in Ibiza.
In a near-identical situation to a case reported in Teguise (Lanzarote) which happened on Friday lunchtime, a seven-year-old boy was dragged out of the water by fellow bathers on Sunday and found to have no pulse.
The other swimmers took it in turns to give him CPR and called an ambulance.
Paramedics used a defibrillator to restart his heart and then rushed him to the paediatric intensive care unit at Ibiza's Can Misses hospital (pictured), where he was intubated and then flown to the larger Son Espases hospital in Palma de Mallorca.
Already, two little boys aged three have died in hospital just days after being rescued from swimming pools in cardiac arrest in Málaga and Dénia (Alicante province), and emergency services urge parents and guardians to keep a close eye on their children, even if they are good swimmers, and to use a cover or fence for private pools when these are not in use.
