Sai Baba’s condition still critical: Doctors
April 20th, 2011 - 4:45 pm ICT by IANSHyderabad, April 20 (IANS) The condition of spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba, seen as the incarnation of god by his devotees in India and abroad, continues to be critical, his doctors said Wednesday.
According to doctors attending on him at Sathya Sai super speciality hospital at Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur district, the condition of Sai Baba’s liver and his low blood pressure are causing concern.
“Sri Sathya Sai Baba continues to be in a critical state of health. Although His vital parameters and indices are nearly normal, yet the condition of the liver and intermittent episodes of low blood pressure are still a cause of worry,” said a medical bulletin issued by the hospital Wednesday.
Hospital director A.N. Safya said Sai Baba continued to be on assisted ventilation to help his lungs and on CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) to assist his kidney functioning.
The panel of doctors are watching him round the clock and giving all the necessary treatment to keep him in a stable state of health, added the statement.
The 85-year-old self-styled godman was admitted to hospital on March 28 with breathing and heart problems. The doctors later said he was suffering from multi-organ dysfunction.
