Oxygen mask used to revive toddler
Oxygen equipment has been used to save the life of a toddler after he was found drowning.
A young boy is still in a critical condition after being found face-down in a five-gallon bucket of water in Colorado, US, KJCT8 reports.
The youngster was carried out of his family home on a stretcher and wearing an oxygen mask, a neighbour confirmed.
Sheriff's Deputies in Mesa County said the bucket is normally used to water the family's dogs and warned it is a tragedy that can happen to anybody.
Lisa McCammon, of the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, commented: "Someone can drown in as little as two inches of water. We don't know how full the bucket was."
It was recently reported oxygen therapy had helped Brit Chris Patterson retain the use of his leg, after the traveller suffered serious injuries to the limb when jumping from a cliff in southern Mexico.
