A teenage girl suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome has found a new lease on life thanks to the efforts of specialist pulmonologist Dr. Shubham Dwivedi and his team at K.D. Medical College-Hospital and Research Center. Gudiya (14), who was put on a ventilator at 10:45 pm on September 1st, is now completely healthy and breathing without oxygen.

According to reports, Gudiya, daughter of Kanhaiya, a resident of Dauji, Mathura, developed a fever and pain in her hands and feet a few days ago. Her family took her to several hospitals, where she received treatment, but instead of improvement, her platelet count continued to decline. Following the drop, doctors placed her on a ventilator, but she found no relief. Finally, she was brought to K.D. Hospital at 10:45 pm on September 1st.

Dr. Shubham Dwivedi (MD, Interventional Pulmonology) examined Gudiya’s X-rays, which revealed damage to both lungs and fluid accumulation in the alveoli due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This fluid was preventing adequate oxygen from reaching the bloodstream. The fluid accumulation in the lungs also caused a very slow heartbeat. The blood accumulation in the lung cells also impaired breathing. Given this critical situation, electrical surgeries (cardioversion) were used to restore normal heart rate. Dr. Shubham Dwivedi examined Gudiya’s lungs with a telescope. Examination of a portion of her lungs revealed DAH. After the diagnosis, Gudiya was kept in the intensive care unit for three days. The ventilator was removed within three days. Now, Gudiya’s lungs have started functioning and she is breathing on her own. Pulmonologist Dr. Shubham Dwivedi explained that patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) often recover slowly. Early diagnosis facilitates treatment.

Dr. Shubham Dwivedi stated that some people may experience complications even after recovering from ARDS due to lung failure and brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply. He stated that oxygen therapy is the main treatment for ARDS. Dr. Shubham Dwivedi, who gave Gudiya a new lease on life, was assisted by Dr. Jitendra Agarwal, Dr. Harshita Dwivedi, Dr. Gurvinder Batti, Dr. Joyal Agarwal, and Dr. Rhythm Garg.

R.K. Educational Group Chairman Dr. Ramkishore Agarwal, K.D. Medical College-Hospital and Research Center Chairman Manoj Agarwal, Dean and Principal Dr. R.K. Ashoka, Medical Director Dr. Rajendra Kumar Bhardwaj, and Department Head of Respiratory Medicine Dr. S.K. Bansal congratulated Dr. Shubham Dwivedi and his team for giving Gudiya a new lease of life.
