According to reports, the incident occurred at the family's home. Artemy was playing when he accidentally swallowed a toothpick, which became lodged in his throat.
Calm Under Pressure

Presnyakov, who had previously undergone CPR training, immediately began performing CPR. He continued for several minutes until paramedics arrived and took over.
Paramedics Arrive
The paramedics continued CPR and administered oxygen to Artemy. After several minutes of effort, Artemy regained consciousness and was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
Thanks to Presnyakov's quick thinking and CPR knowledge, Artemy made a full recovery.
Importance of First Aid Training
This incident highlights the importance of first aid training. Presnyakov's knowledge and skills allowed him to save his brother's life in a critical situation.
Experts recommend that everyone learn basic first aid, including CPR, to be prepared for emergencies.
