early times report
Katra, Sept 2: In a remarkable demonstration of medical expertise, teamwork, and compassionate care, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital (SMVDNSH), Katra, has successfully treated a 16-year-old boy suffering from a rare and life-threatening cardiac condition.
The patient was admitted in a critical state with dangerously low oxygen saturation (80%) and a rapid heartbeat of 180 bpm. Under the immediate care of Dr. Sanjeet Singh Chandail and Dr. Neha Rajput, Pediatricians, he was shifted to the ICU for emergency management. A 2D Echo revealed severely impaired heart function with an ejection fraction of just 25%. The boy required intensive monitoring and was placed on ventilator support for five days.
Over the next 12 days, a dedicated team comprising Dr. Sanjeet Singh Chandail (Pediatrician), Dr. Neha Rajput (Pediatrician), Dr. Mukesh Kumar Sharma (Cardiologist), and the hospital’s critical care specialists worked round the clock to stabilize and treat him. The case was managed on the line of rare rickettsial myocarditis, a serious infection of the heart muscle seldom reported in pediatric patients and usually associated with very high mortality.
According to Dr. Sanjeet Singh Chandail (Consultant - Peadiatrics Department), this was one of the rarest and most severe pediatric cardiac cases successfully managed at the hospital, and the outcome underscores the exceptional skill, coordination, and perseverance of the medical team.
The entire treatment was provided free of cost under the Ayushman Bharat Health Card, ensuring the family did not face any financial burden during this life-threatening emergency.
Dr. Yashpal, Executive Director of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, said:
“This case highlights our hospital’s ability to deliver advanced, specialised care even in the most complex medical emergencies. Our mission is to ensure that patients in Jammu & Kashmir have access to world-class treatment close to home.”
Dr. M.M. Mathavan, Facility Director of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Katra, added:
This achievement was made possible with the guidance and support of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, whose vision has been instrumental in establishing SMVDNSH as a centre of excellence in tertiary healthcare. |
