[2/24, 10:37 AM] Dr Ahmed Savani: 🔰 Ayurvedic Emergency Management of *AECOPD (Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)*

At *12:30 AM on 6th Feb 2024*, aboard the Avadh Express from Mumbai to Surat I was travelling, a critical situation of *respiratory distress, termed as Shwasa Kastata*, was arrived and being only doctor in the train I was been called to address the situation.

The patient, a 50-year-old male with a medical history of *COPD, Hyperbilirubinemia, and Severe Anemia* (RBC 1.9 & HB 7), opted to leave against medical advice *(DAMA)* from ... Hospital to travel to ..., UP.

Upon assessment, the patient was conscious and oriented, with an *unreadable Spo2* likely due to hypotension or peripheral circulation cessation, and a *pulse rate of 140+/min*. Accompanied by his brother and child, the patient lacked proper reservation and was sleeping under a lower berth. 

In *absence of medical services* on the train or at the nearest station, and no oxygen supply at Surat Railway station, a decision was made to *initiate Ayurvedic emergency management* after obtaining *proper medicolegal consent*.

As the sole medical officer present, it was imperative to stabilize the patient clinically using *Ayurvedic emergency medications*. 

Subsequently, upon reaching Surat Railway Station, immediate contacts were utilized to arrange for the patient's transfer to the nearby SMC Hospital via ambulance equipped with oxygen supply.

Despite the *patient's high risk* condition, their relatives desired to continue their journey by train for two more days. However, prioritizing safety and well-being, it was advised to provide *oxygen supply* and hospitalize the patient in Surat, the nearest railway station.
