###53-Year-Old Woman Wins Battle Against Death Under Rajasthan Government’s Bhamashah Scheme
Spent 45 Days on Ventilator in ICU, Defeated Gangrene and Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria, Returns Home Healthy
Udaipur, In a remarkable example of advanced medical care, teamwork, and human determination, doctors at Pacific Medical College & Hospital (PMCH), Udaipur, successfully saved the life of a 53-year-old woman suffering from severe lung infection, respiratory failure, gangrene, and multiple critical complications. After spending 45 days on ventilator support in the ICU, the patient has now recovered completely and returned home healthy.
Notably, the entire treatment was provided free of cost under the Rajasthan Government’s Bhamashah Health Scheme, bringing immense relief to the patient’s family.
The successful treatment involved the dedicated efforts of pulmonologist Dr. Atul Luhadia, thoracic surgeon Dr. Anuj Mehta, intensivist Dr. Chetan Goyal, Dr. Ibrahim, and the respiratory care team including Dr. Nishchay, Dr. Aamir, Dr. Jalpit, Dr. Govind, Dr. Ritesh, Dr. Anshul, Dr. Sahil, Dr. Arvind, Dr. Richa, Dr. Abhay, and Dr. Supriya, along with the ICU and chest ward nursing staff.
The patient, a resident of Chittorgarh, was admitted in critical condition with severe breathlessness, persistent cough, and excessive sputum production. Upon examination, doctors found that both of her lungs were severely affected by pneumonia. She was also suffering from hypertension and thyroid-related complications, making the treatment even more challenging.
Dr. Atul Luhadia said that during treatment, another serious complication emerged when blood flow suddenly stopped in the patient’s thumb, leading to a life-threatening gangrene-like condition. To prevent the infection from spreading throughout the body, thoracic surgeon Dr. Anuj Mehta immediately performed an emergency thrombectomy surgery, successfully saving the thumb.
As the patient’s lungs nearly stopped functioning, she was shifted to the ICU and placed on ventilator support. Due to the prolonged requirement for assisted breathing, doctors later performed a tracheostomy procedure.
During treatment, reports also confirmed the presence of multi-drug resistant bacteria, which required highly specialized antibiotics based on culture sensitivity reports. With continuous monitoring and expert multidisciplinary care, the patient gradually began recovering.
After nearly 45 days in intensive care, the woman’s lungs are now functioning normally, her oxygen dependency has completely ended, and she has been discharged in stable condition.
PMCH Chairman Rahul Agrawal congratulated the entire medical team and stated that in such critical cases, timely decisions, multidisciplinary expertise, and advanced ICU care play a decisive role in saving lives. He added that the patient’s recovery is a major victory for medical science and collective teamwork.
