Port Blair, May 25: Mrs Bitika Sana, 23 years old lady W/o Harikesh had missed her periods and reported to Community Health Centre (CHC), Diglipur in the morning at around 0900 hrs on 17 May 2016, as she had developed pain abdomen. Dr (Mrs) Jaya Biswas posted at CHC Diglipur examined the case and diagnosed her to be a case of Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy. In view of lack of sophisticated diagnostic facilities, the doctor there did the peritoneal aspiration to confirm the diagnosis; aspirate turned out to be blood, almost confirming the diagnosis of ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy.
Immediate action was taken and arrangements for the air evacuation of the patient were made. The patient was administered medications to stabilize her general condition and blood transfusion was started. She was evacuated by helicopter to Port Blair; was brought to G B Pant Hospital (ANIIMS) and straight away shifted to Surgical ICU.
Initial resuscitation was done by the team of doctors and she was operated immediately. There was two and half litres of blood in her abdominal cavity due to rupture of right sided fallopian tube, which was removed. She was given eight bottles of blood and she has made a remarkable recovery and is out of danger now.
Within two and half hours of reporting to CHC, Diglipur; she was operated at G B Pant Hospital. All this has been possible by timely, immediate and correct action by all concerned at every step, especially by Dr (Mrs) Jaya Biswas at Diglipur.
May such prominent steps be taken to save every precious life. It’s indeed remarkable that the medical authority has taken a prompt and wise steps without delaying to deal with the patient’s life.
