The ENT team too performed protective tracheostomy for better healing of repaired wind pipe, the officer said, adding that the surgical team also attended the remaining large injuries over the abdomen.

After the procedure, she was shifted to ICU and was monitored for any complications.

"She is recovering from near to death experience and presently in more stable clinical condition," the officer said. 

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that in the first such report inside a NICU in India, Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, Bangalore successfully carried out an emergency ECMO in a very small low birth-weight neonate (1.7 Kg) who suffered from a life-endangering condition of pulmonary hypertension and haemorrhage which lead to multi-organ dysfunction and cardiorespiratory failure. The newborn girl initially presented with breathing problems (rapid and shallow breathing) along with which her heart was beating fast (over 100/min). Her skin also turned pale or bluish due to decreased oxygen in the body. She was referred from a local hospital on day 6 of birth as she was unresponsive to conventional ventilation and medical therapy.
