Former Karnataka MLA Dr Anjali Nimbalkar resuscitates US national mid-air

The passenger, Jenny, was given electrolyte water, and she appeared to recover, but again fell ill. “With no IV line on the flight,” Dr Nimbalkar said, “I started resuscitating her again. I asked the air hostess, ‘How much time for landing?’ and she said, ‘One and a half hours.’ I panicked and thought I would lose her by the time we landed. But miracles do happen. After 15-20 minutes, our efforts started giving results, and she regained pulse and BP.”

“In the meantime, I told an air hostess to arrange for an ambulance at the tarmac. All the flight attendants did their best and helped me during the flight. We got priority landing, and an ambulance was waiting to take the passenger to the hospital,” Dr Nimbalkar added.

Jenny is from California, and she is staying with her in-laws in Delhi. Coincidentally, her mother-in-law’s name is also Anjali, and she is a doctor too.
