MEDICAL EMER DECLARED AS INFANT STOPS BREATHING. SPD DEV BELOW 10000 FT.

Narrative

JUST AFTER INITIATION OF DSCNT FROM FL270; EBOUND ON FLT FROM MSP TO MSN; THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT ENTERED THE COCKPIT; INFORMING THE PLT CREW OF A MEDICAL EMER. AN INFANT HAD STOPPED BREATHING; AND CPR WAS BEING ADMINISTERED. I WAS CTLING THE ACFT AT THE TIME AND CONTINUED THE DSCNT; INCREASING THE AIRSPD TO MINIMIZE FLT TIME TO MSN. THE CAPT INQUIRED OF ATC THE CLOSEST ARPT WITH EMER MEDICAL FACILITIES; AND IT WAS CONFIRMED TO BE MADISON. THE CAPT ALSO VERIFIED THAT THE FLT ATTENDANT HAD OBTAINED THE ASSISTANCE OF A TRAINED NURSE FROM THE PAX COMPLEMENT; AND DIRECTED THE SO TO NOTIFY OPS BY COMPANY RADIO. A MEDICAL EMER WAS DECLARED WITH ZAU AND ZAU COORDINATED THE ASSISTANCE OF MEDICAL PERSONNEL AT MADISON. THE CAPT AND I DISCUSSED MEASURES OF EXPEDITING OUR ARR AND THE ADMISSION OF PARAMEDICS TO THE ACFT. WE BOTH AGREED THAT TO EXPEDITE OUR ARR AT MSN; WE SHOULD EXCEED THE 250 KIAS LIMITATION BELOW 10000 FT. THIS WOULD MINIMIZE THE TIME UNTIL MEDICS COULD ATTEND THE INFANT. THE CREW WORKED WELL TOGETHER; EACH MEMBER ACCOMPLISHING THE NECESSARY TASKS. THE BABY RESUMED BREATHING DURING THE FLT. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT CAME THROUGH THE EMER. (THE MADISON TWR WAS CLOSED DUE TO THE LATE HR.)
