On a Vistara flight on Sunday from Bengaluru to Delhi, a two-year-old infant with a cardiac abnormality stopped breathing. The crew declared an emergency and asked the onboard medical staff for help. What followed was nothing less than a miracle.
Five doctors who were traveling with the group reacted to the call and helped to save the toddler's life. The incident was confirmed by AIIMS Delhi, which published pictures of the infant and other passengers on its official X (previously Twitter) feed.
The medical team was on board by chance because they were traveling back from the Indian Society for Vascular and Interventional Radiology's convention. Anesthetists and cardiac radiologists were included in the group of five.
The AIIMS Delhi reported on X that the patient was a 2-year-old female infant who was cyanotic and comatose and had undergone intracardiac repair outside. A congenital heart defect, often known as cyanosis, is a heart defect present at birth.
The child's pulse was missing, according to the AIIMS post, and her "extremities were also cold" when she was examined.
According to a tweet from AIIMS, the infant was not breathing and had cyanosed lips and fingers.
The bluish-purple coloring of skin known as cyanosis is typically brought on by a deficiency in blood oxygen.
The medical team from AIIMS's mid-air interventions were what provided the 2-year-old baby a second chance at life.
A 52-year-old male passenger on an Alliance Air aircraft to Jabalpur who became ill forced the plane to make an emergency landing at the Jaipur airport on Friday.
The passenger was brought to a local hospital for a checkup after landing since his blood pressure had started to drop, according to airport officials at Jaipur, who spoke to PTI.Â
