Sai’s Story of Recovery from Drowning at MGM Healthcare Malar Adyar

We are deeply moved to share the incredible recovery story of Mr. Sai, a college student from Andhra Pradesh studying in Chennai. On 19th April 2024, what was meant to be a fun day at Thiruvanmiyur beach turned into a life-threatening emergency. Sai drowned but was quickly brought to MGM Healthcare Malar Adyar by his friends and local heroes.

When Dr. Vinod Prem Anand first saw Sai, he was gasping for breath and desaturating. Our dedicated ER team worked tirelessly, intubating him and placing him on a ventilator. Sai’s condition was critical, with only a 5% chance of survival. Over the next two days, our medical team fought relentlessly against potential lung infections caused by seawater.

Amazingly, Sai began to show signs of improvement. By the second day, he regained consciousness and was communicating. On the third day, he was extubated and asked about his friends who saved him.

Thanks to the exceptional care at MGM Healthcare Malar Adyar, Sai was discharged on the fifth day, filled with gratitude and joy. This remarkable journey highlights the importance of knowing basic life-saving skills like swimming and CPR.

Sai and his friends extend their heartfelt thanks to our team. We are honored to have been part of his recovery.
