A man in the UAE was brought back to life after being clinically dead for 45 minutes.
According to a Khaleej Times report, the incident occurred at Khorfakkan Hospital earlier this week. The patient, in his thirties, arrived at the hospital with an irregular heartbeat and suffered a cardiac arrest shortly thereafter.
The quick-acting medical team initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and administered an astounding 17 electrical shocks and 15 doses of adrenaline. The patient’s condition was a result of coronary artery thrombosis, for which he received a clot-dissolving agent alongside cardiac resuscitation.
Following the resuscitation, an Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed acute coronary blockage. The patient was then moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and placed on a ventilator, in anticipation of a coronary angiography at Fujairah Hospital. The angiography showed no signs of blockages or clots, marking a complete success in clot dissolution.
The patient was then transferred back to Khorfakkan Hospital for continued treatment. Remarkable improvement in cardiac function was noted, with a 55 percent recovery. After spending eight days in the hospital, including two in the ICU and six in the Internal Medicine department, the patient was discharged in excellent health.
He left the hospital with a treatment plan, medications, and regular follow-up appointments at the cardiology clinic, marking a stunning turnaround from what seemed like an irreversible condition.
