On Sunday, a baby on board the Vistara Airlines experienced a cardiac arrest. The girl was only 15-month old and was travelling on the Delhi bound Flight No. UK814 of Vistara Airlines.
The kid was immediately attended by a group of AIIMS doctors who were travelling on the aircraft. They initiated life-saving measures by providing CPR.
Considering the emergency the flight was diverted to Nagpur and later shifted the baby to KIMS Kingsway hospital in Nagpur.
But the baby died in treatment at 3.15 on Thursday morning. “A 15-month-old child passed away at 3.15 am on 31 August after relentless struggle for the last three days”, said the KIMS Kingsway Hospital in an official press release.
“The child was in a critical state after several resuscitation efforts while on the flight and during transfer to KIMS-Kingsway Hospitals”, the hospital stated.
“In post-resuscitation status she suffered from several complications including renal failure and cardiac failure-shock”, added the hospital.
The child had already underwent a cardiac surgery at Narayana Health in Bengaluru. She also started developing multi-organ dysfunction that made the situation more complicated.
