Delhi man survives multiple cardiac arrests after rare life-saving intervention

Delhi: In what doctors are calling an extraordinary medical turnaround, a 55-year-old man has survived multiple cardiac arrests and is now recovering at home, weeks after being admitted to Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh in a critical state.

The patient, a known diabetic, had undergone a routine procedure to remove a small sebaceous cyst on his back at another hospital. About six hours later, he suddenly collapsed in his room and went into cardiac arrest. CPR was administered for 45 minutes, along with multiple electric shocks, but his condition remained precarious. Recognising the severity of the case, the treating team contacted Dr Rashi Khare, Additional Director of Cardiology at Fortis Shalimar Bagh, who recommended immediate transfer for advanced cardiac support.
