GoAir crewmembers revive 76-yr-old after he falls unconscious

Two crewmembers of an airline managed to revive a senior citizen, a passenger of another company, who had fallen unconscious at the domestic airport, recently. The incident took place on August 25, when at around 11.15 am, Mukundrao Panshikar (76), a passenger of Air India arriving from Nagpur, suddenly fell unconscious on an aerobridge.
Two crewmembers of GoAir were returning to their cabin crew centre along with team members, when they saw him lying unconscious between Bay A-8 and A-9. The two, Rayomand Sidhwa and Arshee Khan, had returned after operating their flight G8 368 from Ahmedabad. “They saw some airport staff and passengers trying to make some calls to get medical assistance and swung into action,” said an airport official at Terminal 1A. He further added, “They rushed to evaluate the passenger’s state, and found his pulse and breathing missing. They realised he had suffered a cardiac arrest and immediately started cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and continued doing so for over 5 minutes until the passenger revived,” he added. An MIAL official confirmed that Sidhwa and Khan continued to be with the passenger and made him comfortable until medical aid arrived.
