'Jaya's heart beat 11 hrs post cardiac arrest'

CHENNAI: At around three:30am on December five, 2016, around 11 hours after she had a cardiac arrest, past due leader minister J Jayalalithaa confirmed ‘intrinsic heart rhythm’. The earlier day, a few hours after medical doctors started the extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) put up her cardiac arrest, there was some eyeball motion and she breathed on her personal.

This was one in every of a number of important pieces of data shared by Dr Okay Madan Kumar, the cardio-thoracic knowledgeable at Apollo hospitals who was with Jayalalithaa right through her ECMO procedure, ahead of the Justice (retd) A Arumughaswamy fee on Thursday.

Dr Kumar had made retrospective notes in regards to the medical procedure; the details of her condition on December 4 have been famous at nine:35pm and that about the next day have been made a few hours later.

Quoting Kumar’s deposition, Maimoona Badsha, legal suggest for Apollo, said these have been proof of ‘indicators of life’ which encouraged the medical doctors to proceed with the ECMO procedure. If she had shown extra such indicators of life, they might have endured the ECMO for 48 hours, Badsha quoted the physician as pronouncing.

“At 11:30pm she was declared lifeless and at no level ahead of that was she ever lifeless,” Badsha quoted the physician as pronouncing.


In the depositions made by medical doctors in the last few days, the fee had raised doubts regarding how Jayalalithaa’s brain may have survived the time taken by the medical group to set up ECMO, as the brain would not live on with out oxygenated blood for greater than 3 mins and the set-up would take 25 mins. A source said the fee’s line of wondering was to invite whether or not the lung was purposeful, with out which even artificial pumping of blood would not yield oxygenated blood to the brain.


Kumar advised the fee that the pumping of blood was by no means stopped as the incision made throughout sternotomy was completed in a ‘synchronised approach’, Badsha said.


Sources said that throughout Thursday and Wednesday’s complaints, when Dr Minal Vohra, a cardiac anaesthesia advisor gave the impression, there was a heated debate, with the fee alleging that the medical doctors have been tutored. Dr Vohra reportedly denied this and Badsha recorded her dissent to the fee’s line of wondering, resources said.
