Dispatcher gives life-saving CPR instructions for 2-year-old

BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. —  A 911 dispatcher helped save the life of a toddler after guiding a frantic father through CPR on May 29. 

Michael Miller, a Bedford County dispatcher, answered a call for a toddler pulled from a lake and not breathing.

"My first goal was to make sure that child was breathing. And when I found he wasn't breathing … I helped administer CPR over the phone," Miller told WDBJ7. 

Miller instructed the father and other bystanders to perform chest compressions on the child until he became responsive.

"The child's father said he was breathing. I was better, we all had a sigh of relief that that child was okay," Miller said. 

Miller said dispatchers can summon help as quickly as possible and they can offer live-saving information and support over the phone. 

The boy was transported to the hospital and was later released.
