The crew members first calmed other passengers on the flight before looking for a doctor.

As per the airline, the passenger first shouted for help, and then the crew members immediately ran towards him, only to find him unconscious with no pulse and no breath. The cabin crew did not waste a single second, and immediately, with the help of other passengers, the casualty was put on the aft galley floor, and the crew started the cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, process.

A doctor on board, Dr Shabeer Ahmed, treated the patient with the help of two sets of automated external defibrillators (AED) shock, followed by five sets of CPR, stated the airline in a statement.

Dr Ahmed and the crew helped the patient come back to senses from the life-threatening cardiac arrest.

Dr Shabeer, a Specialist gastroenterologist at NMC Royal Hospital DIP, stated that he thought the patient was no more and the flight was about to divert to Mumbai for an emergency medical requirement. But, the patient soon regained consciousness.

“There was a nurse to help. She, the crew members, and I took turns performing CPR. It was a terrifying situation. I am grateful everything turned out all right,” stated Dr Shabeer.
