Pune: On July 25 at 11 a.m., two-year-old Amod Thorve from Alandi went outside to play during a drizzle. When he did not return after a long time, his family began searching for him and found him unconscious in stagnant water in a nearby field. Amod was quickly taken to a nearby hospital, where he received CPR (chest compression resuscitation) and his heart restarted. Subsequently, he was transferred to Ankura Hospital in Aundh for further treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon admission to the emergency room at Ankura Hospital, Amod was on bag and tube ventilation and remained completely unconscious. His heart was weak, and his blood pressure was low, indicating signs of cardiac arrest. Immediate treatment was administered, and after four hours of continuous efforts, a dedicated team of more than 30 doctors, nurses, and staff managed to save his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within 18 hours, Amod’s ventilator was removed, and he was discharged after 36 hours as his brain and other organs were in good condition. The successful treatment was carried out by a team from Ankura Hospital, including senior neonatologist and paediatrician Dr. Umesh Vaidya, emergency department Dr. Chinmay Joshi, paediatrician Dr. Vishrut Joshi, and neonatologist Dr. Nikhil Jha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Chinmay Joshi, paediatric Intensivist at Ankura Hospital, emphasised the importance of CPR training. “It is crucial to create awareness about CPR during a cardiac arrest. When the heart stops, the blood supply to vital organs is cut off, causing brain damage or death within minutes. CPR helps maintain blood circulation and oxygen until medical help arrives. In a cardiac arrest, every second counts, and having CPR training can save a precious life,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
