This was done for 30 minutes and resulted in him passing out. Doctor Zhong is a senior surgeon at the Jiaozuo Women and Children’s Hospital in Henan. According to a report by the Chinese television station CCTV on the evening of December 24, a 17-month-old boy was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment after choking on a peanut.

"Doctor Zhong then removed the oxygen mask that was placed on the child. He began to blow air into the child's lungs through the bronchoscope."

During the operation that lasted for 30 minutes, Zhong alternated between two tasks, which were performing the operation and blowing air. When the procedure was nearly finished, he told his colleagues, “I cannot continue.” He then fainted in the operating room.

"Doctor Zhong regained consciousness after his colleagues administered glucose and oxygen. The first thing Dr. Zhong asked after waking up was about his patient who was still a toddler. "I am fine. Please check if the lung ventilation volume of the child is okay," he said."

"After Doctor Zhong fainted, the treatment of the toddler patient was taken over by a more junior doctor.  At least 10 nuts  were successfully removed from the baby's lungs. The baby's parents were very grateful that it cried and thanked Zhong and the team of doctors who had worked hard to save their child.  \r\nSource: SCMP"
