A 2-year-old boy suffered an asthma attack during an AirCanada flight from Spain to the US, the family panicked and felt worried about how they can save the life of their kid because they accidentally packed all his medication in the check-in luggage.
That’s when Dr. Khurshid Guru – Director of Robotic Surgery at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in New York – took hold of the situation and created a makeshift inhaler and saved his life.
Here’s what Dr. Guru did
He converted an inhaler for adults into a pediatric nebulizer, a machine meant to deliver asthma medication by turning it into mist, which can then be inhaled through a face mask or mouthpiece.
He attached the adult inhaler to a hole in the bottle and added an oxygen mask through another opening he had made so that the child could inhale both simultaneously. To make the instrument more convenient, Dr. Guru took a plastic cup and created a hole in it. He then mounted the cup on top of the bottle so that it could be held against the kid’s mouth and nose.
