Hyderabad: An eight-year-old child, who became unconscious during the premier show of Pusha-2 release at Sandhya theatre in Chikkadpally on Wednesday night, was brought to the emergency room at KIMS hospital in a semi-conscious state.
Prior to arrival, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered by police personnel and bystanders. Upon presentation, the child exhibited low oxygen saturation and irregular breathing, necessitating immediate intubation and ventilation.
A CT scan of the brain and spine was performed, revealing no significant abnormalities. Although lactic acidosis has improved, the child’s sensorium remains impaired. The condition is still critical, and the patient is currently under intensive care with continuous monitoring as the medical team works to stabilize him, according to a statement from KIMS Hospital.
The statement further stated that the child’s critical condition is believed to be a result of prolonged unresponsiveness, likely causing severe hypoxia and potential lung injury from aspiration or contusions. Prompt CPR provided by bystanders and the police was instrumental in reviving the child, enabling further medical intervention.
