Was the decision: to perform a C-section? Yes. To separate conjoined twins? No. Did the mother survive the birth? Yes. Did the decision result in discovering a relevant issue (disease, deformity, etc.?) with the baby? No.
Can we call the baby Boris? That's...a good question. You can, but be careful.
The second time Boris would’ve died, would he have died because of something genetic? No, slight FA. Would Boris have not found himself in a certai situation that would’ve killed him had he not had the odd birth? Yesish. Was Boris actually in danger the second time? Yope. Would he have been had his birth been natural? Definitely. If he was, was he aware of it at the time? To the extent that he was in danger, he was aware. Or later? Would he have been murdered? Noish.
Is him getting the job kind of a fluke? A lucky occurrence? I'd say yes. Was he competing for it with anyone? Yes. Did he have some advantage over his competitors? YES. Is nepotism involved? No. Had he gained some fame beforehand? No.

So the decision saved both the mother of the person and the person right? Yes. Did A decide to amputate an arm/leg of the baby? (E.g. it saved his life later on because being handicapped maybe he was not send to war and later on to discover a way to replace amputated arms/legs with bionic ones). No, but one part of your e.g. is very OTRT. Did A's decision have permanent causes on the baby? In a sense. Did A take the decision before the baby actually born or once he was born outside of the mother belly? Right before. I mean, did he need to look at the baby to take the decision? No. Did the baby present something uncommon (e.g. 2 hearts? A bigger head?...) ? No, not a Timelord. =)
Or maybe the baby ended up having something uncommon due to the decision taken by the surgeon (e.g. he ended up having 12 fingers in total which allowed him to type writing on keyboard mich more rapidly than others) ? Not something uncommon, no.
Secobd time: did he save himself in an emergency situation? No. By preventing something to happen? Arnav's decision prevented something, yes. By avoiding something to happen? Did B risk to die for a disease? A natural catastrophy? War? This. To be killed by someone? Quite possibly. To be chosen for something dangerous? And this. To lose balance (e.g. being one armed he did not lose balance)? To fall? No to rest.
Did the person land a good job because it was incredible what he was able to do in his conditions? No. Because he had the opportunity to focus more on studying/preparing for a good job? No. Because the company looked at someone with his charachteristics? Yesish. The company appreciated his capacities? No. Because he became famous before? No.

Is the name Arnav an acronym, an anagram, an actual name (perhaps a foreign one) This. , a reference to something? I'm assuming the surgical delivery is a caesarian? Yes. So his decision was to actually perform the surgical delivery rather than allow the mother to give birth in the normal way? Correct.
So the person Arnav saves is: the mother? the child? This. Is it a single child? Yes. Boy or girl? Boy. Relevant? Somewhat.
The decision saves the person again - literally, or figuratively? I'll say literally, but there's an FA lurking. Does the surgical birth, or its aftermath, or an associated something, affect the baby later in life apart from the fact the person is alive? Yes. Can we have a name for this person for ease of reference? Yes...but...
The action = performing the surgical birth? This. Something else/additional? No.
