Ten-month-old infant from Rhodes dies after choking incident

A 10-month-old infant died in an Athens hospital after suffering from choking on food in Rhodes. The incident occurred on Thursday evening, prompting the child's emergency admission to the Rhodes General Hospital. Medical staff successfully removed the object from the infant's airway, but the child had already suffered from prolonged oxygen deprivation. Due to the critical state of the patient, authorities organized an emergency air transport to a specialized hospital in Athens. Despite continued efforts by medical teams, the infant passed away at 4:30 a.m. The case highlights the severe consequences of airway obstruction in infants despite immediate medical intervention. Hospital staff and emergency services provided intensive care throughout the transport process.
