No heartbeat for 1 hour... A heart attack person revived..!?
Heart attack, which was once only seen in the elderly, is now affecting people of all ages. Recently we have been seeing cases of heart attack, especially in young people. A 32-year-old man was recently discharged from the hospital after suffering a massive heart attack. After he had no heartbeat for over an hour, doctors administered CPR for at least 45 minutes to revive him. According to the American heart Association, CPR is usually stopped after 40 minutes if a heartbeat does not return. However, the attending cardiologist – Dr Rishi Lohia, considering the patient's age, continued the CPR until the heart rate stabilized. Following this, the patient was revived. The patient spent more than a month in the ICU and is now fully recovered. According to Dr. Rishi Lohia, the first CPR continued for more than 20 minutes, during which the heartbeat was recorded for 30 seconds, but due to the emergency, it went undocumented.
