A 68-year-old Navi Mumbai woman endured a rare medical crisis during her hospital stay, battling a stroke, cardiac emergencies, and over 15 electric shocks. Padma Jadhav, who suffers from hypertension, chronic atrial fibrillation, and kidney disease, was admitted to Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, for breathlessness, cough, and palpitations.
Tests revealed atrial fibrillation with a fast heart rate, weakened heart function, and fluid in her lungs. She was placed in the ICU for monitoring. During her stay, Jadhav experienced neurological issues, with a brain imaging scan showing a blood clot causing a stroke in her brain. She underwent emergency surgery to restore blood flow, but then suffered a dangerous heart rhythm issue, leading to cardiac arrest.
Doctors performed CPR and delivered more than 15 electric shocks to revive her. Despite these challenges, she was eventually stabilized and given an Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) to regulate her heartbeat. Jadhav's recovery was a testament to the effectiveness of modern medical interventions, with her condition improving and her discharge after more than a month in the hospital.
