Hyderabad: Rainbow Hospital doctors at Banjara Hills brought a 13-year-old boy back to life after he fell from the fifth floor of his apartment and was in a life-threatening condition.
Hospital authorities shared the details of the treatment and the boy's recovery with the media on Wednesday. "A few weeks ago, a boy fell while playing on the fifth floor of an apartment in Nizampet. He suffered severe bleeding when his body hit the floor. His blood pressure dropped completely, and he went into a coma. The body's vital aorta (thoracic aorta) was torn, and he suffered severe brain damage. The pancreas was damaged. His lungs and kidneys failed, and his femurs were broken," the doctor said.
The aorta was repaired through an endovascular stent procedure. Other injuries were also treated. In the second week, the ventilator was removed as the boy came out of a coma. Neuro-intensive care was given to protect the brain and improve the function of the remaining organs. The boy survived after a five-week struggle, they said.
"When the boy was admitted to the hospital, every organ in his body was damaged. Apart from healing the injuries, we focused on restoring function to every organ. We did dialysis as the kidneys were not working," said Dr Anupama, senior consultant and pediatric intensive care specialist.
Chief pediatric cardiologist Dr Nageswara Rao Koneti said that in this case, the thoracic aortic injury was the most serious.
"Any delay in treatment could have been fatal. So, we immediately repaired the damaged aorta. The boy has recovered and has been discharged. He needs some bed rest to help his femurs heal," he said.
