Medical Miracle. A 41 year old man clinically dead for 90 minutes after suffering a heart attack, was revived with continued cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that was given to him manually about 100 times. Medical experts say his rare revival was possible because of his age and general health. It was also possile because doctors didnt give up and he got immediate medical attention. Sardar Sanjeet Singh, an x-ray technician at Mahatma Gandhi Mission Charitable Hospital complained of chest pain, giddiness and sweating, while on duty. His heart rate and blood pressure had dropped when he was admitted to the casualty ward and a little while later his heart beat stopped. He was clinically dead and the ECG monitor showed single straight lines indicating there was no heart activity. He was instantly put on mechanical ventilation and a temporary pacer was inserted to start his heart beat. Since there was no heart activity, doctors started manual CPR by rotation for about 100 times while simultaneously keeping a watch on the blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. After a long drawn effort for 1 hour 30 minutes his heart started beating again. He regained full consciousness after four days and was taken off the ventilator, showed remarkable recovery without any neurological damage. - Source Times of India, page 10, dated Friday, 14th March, 2014.
