A man at Terminal 2 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi Interna🐻tional (IGI) Airport was saved after a Central Ind��ustrial Security Force (CISF) personnel performed a quick CPR on him when he suffered a cardiac arrest. CPR is an emergency life-saving procedure that is performed when the heart stops beating.

The man, identified as Arshid Ayoub, was supposed to take a flight to Srinagar from Terminal🍰 2 on Wednesday, August 21, CISF said.

A CCTV video of the incident shows Ayoub standing with a baggage trolley and collapsing with his back facing the floor. ꦯOne of the CISF officers on round then immediately administers CPR to Ayoub.

The passenger was later admitted at Safdarjung hospital in Delhiꦆ and is stated to be stable.

"A quick CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to a passenger Arshid Ayoub by the Central Industrial Security Force's quick reaction team played a crucial role in establising his c💜ondition," CISF said in a statement.

"Ayoub, bound for Srinagar flight from Terminal 2 of the IGI Airport on Wednesday morning, collapsed due to cardiac arrest. He was admitted at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, and is stated to be stable," CISF ﷽added.

In another inciden♎t last month, a doctor's quick actions helped save the life of an elderly man who suffered a heart🧸 attack at the Delhi Airport.
