Man suffers heart attack at petrol pump in Bhubaneswar, dies

Death is unpredictable and it is the ultimate truth. As per the age-old maxim, a man passed away in an unpredictable manner at a petrol pump in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday.

As per reports, the man put petrol in his bike at a petrol pump in Chandrasekharpur. However, while starting his bike, he fell down and became unconscious.

Following the development, the employees of the petrol pump took him aside and gave him some primary treatment. An OTV Journalist, who was present there, also tried his best to save the life of the person by providing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment by pumping his chest.

Following the CPR treatment, the person responded well. Subsequently, he was carried to the Capital Hospital through a PCR van for treatment. However, unfortunately, he breathed his last while undergoing treatment at the hospital.

What is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is used in an emergency if someone is not breathing normally, or their heart has stopped (cardiac arrest). 

CPR helps keep the blood circulating and delivers Oxygen to the body until specialist treatment is available. 

There is usually enough Oxygen still in the blood to keep the brain and other organs alive, supported for a few minutes, but someone needs to give CPR for its circulation in the body.
