Senior BJP leader Pramod Mahajan has developed an acute respiratory problem, leading to increase in ventilatory support."Mahajan's condition has been very critical for the last nine days. He has developed Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and therefore ventilatory support has gone up today," Director (Professional Services), Hinduja Hospital, Gustad Daver said.
Daver, who heads the team of doctors treating Mahajan, said “we are closely monitoring him on hourly basis”. He added that the medication to maintain the blood pressure, besides the Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), continues.
On the possibility of removing bullets from the body, Daver said they were lodged in such a way that these were not of immediate concern. "Our concern now is to stabilise his condition and control the infection".
Asked about the condition of pancreas, Davar said, "We will not be doing anything with the pancreas as the organ is badly damaged. We will only be drying out the fluid. Both duodenum and pancreas are badly damaged."
Senior BJP leader L K Advani coming out of Hinduja Hospital looked disturbed and helpless.
Mahajan was shot at and critically injured by his younger brother Praveen on April 22.
