Doctors Revive Two-Year-Old Infant Who Stopped Breathing Mid-Air On Delhi-Bound Flight

A two-year-old baby with a heart defect stopped breathing on a Vistara flight from Bengaluru to Delhi on Sunday. The crew made an emergency announcement, seeking assistance from doctors onboard. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.

Five doctors, who were onboard the flight, responded to the call and saved the life of the toddler. The incident was confirmed by AIIMS Delhi, which took to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle and shared the images of the baby and others on the flight.

The team of doctors happened to be on the flight as they were returning from a conference of the Indian Society for Vascular and Interventional Radiology. Among the five were an anesthesist and cardiac radiologists.
