There, the medical team called a “code blue” since Mangal had no heartbeat for approximately 15 minutes. She had suffered a cardiac arrest.

Dr. Caesar said that the team of eight persons then started the resuscitation process and CPR was conducted; after 15 minutes Mangal’s heart started to beat again.

At the time Mangal was unconscious and incubated. This Dr. Caesar said, was a rare case and as such prompt actions were needed.

The team communicated with doctors from the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) and Mangal had to be air dashed to the city for further medical care.

She spent a few days at GPHC and was subsequently discharged.

Now, Mangal and her baby are doing fine. Constant follow-ups are being done.

Mangal’s Mother, Angela Tobin said it was a miracle and thanked the management and staff of the Suddie Public Hospital, especially Dr Caesar.

Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr Sheneer Reid said that the case was rare and the hospital continues to provide quality health care to patients.

Reid said that she would also like to thank the team that helped in the resuscitation process.
