Let baby respire CO2

Hypnotize stakeholders

Turn CO2 into O2 via photosynthesis

Autonomous intubation

Nanobots

Threats

Premedication

Tasty pre-oxygenated food

Bicycle pump stuck in mouth

Use vacuum to suction throat and remove CO2

Surgical

Turn respiratory system inside out, repair, put back

Baby preservation / replacement

Cloning to make new baby without respiratory failure

Attach replacement lungs to patient

Twitch plays intubation

Cryogenically freeze patient to save later

Hole directly to the lungs - endoscopy
