On Sunday, during the Multan-Karachi flight PK-333, an elderly passenger fell unconscious and stopped breathing, according to a PIA press release.
Fellow passengers started shouting and calling for help. The PIA cabin crew took notice and came for the treatment of the elderly man. They were assisted by a medical student who was on-board and he helped them in stabilizing the patient.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), also known as artificial breathing, was given to the affected person. After a tense and hard fought 15 minutes, the anxiety subsided as the crew were able to restore the respiration of the patient.
Immediately upon arrival at Karachi, an ambulance and a doctor had been arranged and the passenger was handed over to them.
It’s important to appreciate the good alongside and PIA and the cabin crew deserve commendations for a quick response, not giving up easily and saving a man’s life.
