4-month-old dies on flight from Bengaluru to Patna
Hyderabad:01.08.2018
An IndiGo flight from Bengaluru to Patna was diverted to Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), on Tuesday, after a four-month-old boy developed health complications on board. The infant was rushed to the Apollo clinic at RGIA where, according to police, he was declared brought dead.
The Patna-bound IndiGo flight 6E 897, took off from Bengaluru at 6.09am. An hour-and-half later, the flight was diverted to the Shamshabad facility as baby Sparsh, travelling with his parents, Sandeep Kumar and Puneeta Sharma, developed breathing problems, RGIA SI Venkateswarulu said. By the time the flight landed in Hyderabad, authorities had made necessary arrangements to attend to the infant.
“The baby was brought to the emergency room of the Apollo clinic at RGIA around 7.45am. On examination, doctors confirmed that he was brought dead. While the actual cause of his death is not known, the doctors attending to the baby noticed slight bleeding from his nose,” said a source from Apollo hospital. Meanwhile, speaking about travelling with infants, hyderabad doctors said, “Any infant aged over two months can travel by air provided the child is not suffering from any major illness.” “Many a times, a mother makes the mistake of feeding a child during the flight without knowing that it can cause aspiration, with solid or liquid food entering the airway and lungs,” said Altaf Naseem, director, Candy Children's Hospital.
