Ivanovo anesthesiologist-reanimatologist saved the life of a female pedestrian right on the road

On Wednesday, September 23, on Lenin Avenue, a tragedy occurred: a woman was crossing the road on a “zebra” at a traffic light when a scooter crashed into her. The two-wheeler driver fled the scene.

The life of the victim hung in the balance before the arrival of the ambulance. However, thanks to a happy occasion or fate, Mark Talanov, an anesthesiologist-resuscitator of the V.N. Gorodkov Research Institute of Motherhood and Childhood, was nearby.

The specialist was returning home after a difficult shift, but could not pass by. The doctor assessed the condition of a woman who was unconscious and almost did not breathe.

The doctor provided airways, gave a safe position to the body (“stable lateral”) and monitored the condition of the victim until the arrival of emergency services.

As noted by colleagues of the doctor, the help was provided in the so-called “golden hour”. This is critical for traumatic brain injuries. Now the patient is in the Ivanovo regional hospital, her life is not in danger.
