Jeeva Super Speciality Hospital in Kalaburagi saves lives with successful treatment of critically injured patients in road accidents.

In a remarkable display of medical expertise and coordination, doctors at Jeeva Super Speciality Hospital in Kalaburagi have successfully treated five patients critically injured in different road accidents, offering them a new lease on life.

Addressing a press conference on the hospital premises in Kalaburagi on Sunday, hospital director Ajay Guttedar and doctor Krishna Kulkarni shared details of the complex cases handled by their team.

Among the patients was 24-year-old Arun who sustained a severe head injury in a road accident and was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state.

He underwent an emergency brain surgery lasting five hours, performed by a dedicated team of neurosurgeons.

Additionally, he had suffered spinal injuries that had left him unable to sit upright. After undergoing four surgical procedures, Arun recovered swiftly and was discharged from hospital in a stable condition.

In another severe case, 30-year-old Mahesh lost his left leg in a road accident, with the limb completely detached from his body. The surgical team, led by Dr. Ajay Guttedar, intervened immediately. Thanks to their efforts, Mahesh was out of the ICU within a few days and made a notable recovery within 14 days.

Three-year-old Siddharth had fallen from the second floor of a building and arrived at the hospital with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of only 3 — far below the normal score of 15 —, indicating a critical state.
