Bangalore: Her sheer presence of mind saved an 81-year-old man's life in
the nick of time, that too aboard an airline. The cardiac nurse and the
patient were travelling on a Delhi-Bangalore flight last month.
It happened on September 15. Banashankari resident Sudhakar (name changed), who was travelling with his family, suddenly began showing symptoms of a cardiac condition — profuse sweating, breathlessness and no verbal response. Sudhakar's children, both dentists, attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) but there seemed to be no response.
That's when 29-year-old Sujatha Harindranath, a cardiac nurse-turned-hospital quality assistant manager, swung into action. The woman, who'd handled several emergencies in Fortis Hospital, Bangalore, for six years, sensed that a wrongly-performed CPR could prove fatal for the senior citizen. Sujatha, who recently finished her MBA and is now a quality assistant manager with the same hospital, was returning home after completing a training session.
