Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road – Excellence in Critical care, Emergency & Multidisciplinary Care
Mumbai – In an extraordinary medical triumph, a 35-year-old man made a near-complete recovery at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, after suffering a cardiac arrest lasting 90 minutes — a scenario that almost always ends in tragedy. The patient had been undergoing a routine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) at another facility when he suddenly developed bradycardia followed by cardiac arrest. After 90 minutes of continuous CPR, he was transferred to Wockhardt in a severely unstable state: exsanguinated, hypotensive, coagulopathic, and on multiple vasopressors.On arrival, the team faced a full-blown multisystem crisis — acute kidney injury, liver dysfunction, cardiac failure, and hypoxic brain injury with seizures.
“This wasn’t just a cardiac arrest. It was multi-organ collapse but our team refused to give up — the kind very few walk away from, said Dr. Aklesh Tandekar, Head Consultant Critical Care at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road
He further added, our expert Critical Care led resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, and organ support.
Neurology, under Dr. Pavan Pai, managed the seizures and brain recovery. Cardiology, Nephrology, Hepatology, and Transfusion Medicine worked in sync to stabilize the heart, kidneys, liver, and clotting function. The patient was ventilated, sedated, and closely monitored. Over days, his organs began to recover, and the seizures subsided. Most remarkably, he regained consciousness — alert, oriented, and with no major neurological deficits.
Dr. Pavan Pai, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road says, “This outcome is nothing short of miraculous. The fact that he walked out of the ICU with a Barthel Index over 90 shows how critical timely Neurocritical Care can be. Today, he lives independently, with only mild memory issues — a testament to fast action, structured protocols, and team-based care.
“At Wockhardt, we believe no case is hopeless. When every specialty comes together, we give patients a real shot at life — even when the odds are nearly zero added by Dr. Aklesh Tandekar.
This case is not just about medical success. It’s about hope, resilience, and what becomes possible when cutting-edge science meets seamless teamwork, all under one roof. At Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, this isn’t an exception; it’s a reflection of our core values. We believe that every life matters, even in the bleakest moments.
Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road continues to lead the way in critical care excellence, setting benchmarks not just in medicine, but in human commitment.
