KATHMANDU: A team of doctors from the Bangkok Hospital has been requested to assist with the treatment of Nepal's former Crown Prince Paras Shah, the Samitivej Hospital said on Monday evening.
After suffering a massive cardiac arrest six days ago, the 42-year-old wayward royal is receiving treatment at the Sukhumvit-based Samitivej Hospital in a comatose state.
In a medical bulletin this evening, Dr. Kunchit Piyavechviratana, intensivist at the hospital, described Shah's condition as very critical but stable.
He informed that there has been no bleeding from the high profile patient's stomach over the last two days. Shah had developed internal bleeding from his stomach on Saturday.
The 42-year-old, who suffered a massive cardiac arrest on February 19, is admitted to the CCU of the hospital and has been kept at the ventilator life support. Dr. Piyavechviratana said Shah's blood pressure is maintained without the need of any medicine, suggesting that his blood pressure is in the satisfactory range.
Yesterday, the doctors attending Shah had reduced the medicines needed to maintain the blood pressure.
"The doctors from both hospitals agree with the present line of treatment," the doctor said.
Meanwhile, former King Gyanendra and Queen Komal are preparing to fly to Bangkok on Wednesday to see their ailing son. Other members of the royal family, including Paras Shah's wife Himani and sister Prerana, are already in the Thai capital.
