A two-year-old girl’s life was rescued by five physicians from AIIMS, Delhi, on Sunday evening after she stopped breathing while traveling by plane from Bengaluru to the national capital. The toddler had a congenital heart condition, according to representatives of AIIMS.
According to them, the toddler exhibited bluish-purple skin discoloration, which is typically caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood and was unconscious. The group was leaving for Bengaluru after attending the Indian Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (ISVIR), according to Dr. Damandeep.
According to him, “as soon as a flight attendant made the distress call, around 9.30 pm, we immediately examined the toddler and found her pulse was absent, her extremities were cold, and she was not breathing, with cyanosed lips and fingers,” adding that basic equipment to handle a cardiac arrest was available on the aircraft in accordance with government guidelines, which helped them treat the toddler.
The medical professionals started performing CPR right away and inserted an IV cannula, a little plastic tube that is often inserted into a vein in the arm or hands. Additionally, they established an airway, started an emergency reaction, and succeeded in keeping the baby’s heartbeat regular. According to Dr. Damandeep, the youngster experienced a second cardiac arrest while in the air, and the doctors employed an automatic external defibrillator to treat it.
