Doctor's Timely Action Saves Elderly Man's Life Who Suffers Heart Attack At Delhi Airport — On Cam

The woman, who was present at the spot, performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on him until he gained his pulse back.

The timely action by a doctor saved the life of an elderly man who suffered a heart stroke at the Delhi airport. The elderly man reportedly fainted and lost his pulse after he suffered a heart attack at the Terminal 2 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport.

The woman, who was present at the spot, performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on him until he gained his pulse back. The efforts and the timely intervention of the woman are being praised on social media, where the video of the incident has now gone viral. 

In the video, the female doctor can be seen pumping the chest of the ailing man amidst a crowd of onlookers.

The doctor kept reviving the patient for five minutes until he regained consciousness. The man was later given medical treatment by the airport authorities. He was later taken to a hospital for further treatment after regaining consciousness.

"Today at T2 Delhi Airport, a gentleman in his late 60s had a heart attack in the food court area. This lady Doctor revived him in 5 mins. Super proud of Indian doctors," the video was captioned.

Last year, an Indian doctor was in the news after reviving a patient who suffered a heart attack twice on a UK-India flight. As per reports, the heart of the man stopped twice and the doctor had to battle for hours to save his life.

What Is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that's useful in emergency situation when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped due to a heart attack or drowning.

CPR is considered a life-saving skill and works by keeping a person’s blood flowing until healthcare professionals can help them. People without first aid training can still save a life by using the CPR steps.

When a person starts CPR immediately after someone's heart stops beating, it can double or even triple the chances of their survival, as per Medical News Today.

CPR is done by laying the patient on their back and opening their airways. It is started when the patient is not breathing and then they are given 30 hard and fast chest compressions. Next, two rescue breaths are given to the patient.
