P Shajikuttan was rushed to the hospital with multi-organ complications just a few weeks before the ceremony
Dubai:An Indian expat was making preparations for his daughter’s wedding on April 10 when he was rushed to the hospital with multi-organ complications.
P Shajikuttan’s colleagues took him to the emergency department of Aster Hospital, Mankhool, after he vomited blood and collapsed in his room. The 48-year-old welder was suffering from fever and body pain for a few days, but his health deteriorated suddenly, his colleagues said.
A multi-disciplinary team of doctors performed complex procedures on the patient, who was later diagnosed with a leaking infectious aneurysm in his thoracic aorta, a tear in his oesophagus and thrombosis in his right lower limb. Shajitkuttan underwent a six-hour-long life-saving procedure.
By the time Shajikuttan reached the hospital, he had lost a lot of blood. He was in a haemorrhagic shock, so we could not get many details. So, our first attempt was to stabilise the patient,” said Dr Senthilnathan TT, vascular specialist and endovascular surgeon at Aster Hospital, Mankhool.
Following the cardiac procedure, Shajikuttan was kept in the ICU for continuous monitoring. However, the next day, doctors found blood in his oesophagus.
The doctors said it is very rare for a patient to suffer from multiple complexities, each life-threatening by itself.
