This particular incident took place on the 28th of August on a Vistara flight which was headed from Bengaluru to Delhi. A girl, merely two years old, stopped breathing. It was later revealed that this was because he was cyanotic, meaning she had congenital heart disease.
According to the post made by the X (formerly, Twitter) account of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the child had already cyanosed and was passed out. This means that she had passed out from not breathing and her extremities like lips, fingers and toes had started turning blue and cold from the lack of oxygen.
An alarm was raised on the flight and a call for help was issued to the passengers. As it turned out, quite miraculously so, there were not one, but five doctors on the plane. Dr Oishika, who is an obstetrician, Dr Avichala Taxac, a cardiac radiologist, Dr Damandeep Singh, another cardiac radiologist, Dr Navdeep Kumar, an anaesthetist, and Dr Rishabh Jain, another radiologist.

The doctors sprang into immediate action and started to resuscitate the child. The child was brought to ROSC. ROSC stands for the return of spontaneous circulation and it means that the heart rhythm of the child was restored. However, this was not the end.
The child then suffered from a cardiac arrest which further complicated the matter. The flight, too, was diverted to Nagpur given the emergency. After 45 minutes, the child was finally resuscitated and handed over to a paediatrician in Nagpur with regular blood circulation.
