The child’s condition still remains critical
Meanwhile, KIMS Secunderabad, where the boy is undergoing treatment, issued a second statement on Friday (December 6, 2024) in which they said his condition still remains critical.
“The child developed low oxygen saturation and irregular breathing, which required immediate intubation and ventilation. The baby’s MRI brain showed changes of prenatal insult, the CT chest showed no new hypoxic changes, which showed aspiration-related changes,” the statement said.
The hospital reported that the child is on a mechanical ventilator, which requires minimal settings and minimal ionotropic support, and is improving neurologically without any clinical seizures. The child has persistent fever which requires high doses of antibiotics. The child has been started on NG feeds, which he is tolerating well and there is some glimmer of hope with adequate urine output. However, the condition remains critical and the patient remains in intensive care and close observation as the medical team works to further stabilize him,” the statement said.
