In the olden days (of my youth), a Catholic hospital might have the priest baptize a dying baby.
I recall being taught that anyone, not just a priest, can baptize any person.
Dip your finger into a little water, and while making the sign of the cross on the person's forehead recite - I baptize thee in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

According to what I learned as a child, this was just for cases in which the recipient was in danger of death and a priest was not available.
