Dr. Aggarwal's 5‑Minute Moment That Transformed Lives

On Doctor’s Day, Dr (Prof) Sandeep Aggarwal recounted a life‑saving moment at Manipal Hospital that took just five minutes to change a patient’s fate.

According to Dr Aggarwal, a patient admitted with severe breathing difficulty slipped into a critical state. By swiftly performing a tracheal tube insertion and stabilising the airway, the doctor prevented a cardiac arrest, enabling overnight recovery.

Such rapid interventions highlight how timely expert care can dramatically improve outcomes. Dr Aggarwal emphasises that every second counts in emergency medicine, urging local healthcare teams in Udupi district to train in swift decision‑making. Source: Google News – Manipal.
