In the olden days (of my youth), a Catholic hospital might have the priest baptize a dying baby. I doubt that would happen today.

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.

I yanked my son from the oxygen tent as he started to turn blue, took him to the hospital sink and baptized him.
The baptism was later validated in the local Catholic Church.
