KUALA LUMPUR, FEB 24 -
The health condition of former crown prince Paras Shah , who suffered a major heart attack last Tuesday in Bangkok, has deteriorated further and remains critical, doctors involved in his treatment have said.
A medical update issued by the Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, where Shah has been undergoing treatment, said that the patient has developed bleeding in his stomach and undergone endoscopies.
“He [Shah] has been on ventilator and his medical condition remains very critical,” said a statement signed by four doctors involved in his treatment.
Doctors started ‘therapeutic hypothermia’ from Friday to bring down his fever so that they can perform a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of his brain. However, doctors have not been able to conduct an MRI as Shah’s temperature had not normalised till Saturday evening. MRI reports could shed further light on the state of the former crown prince and determine the approach of treatment, according to the doctors. The patient’s heartbeat and blood pressure seem stable but his brain remains non-responsive.
Shah’s wife Himani and Dr Rajiv Shahi, former prince Dhirendra’s son-in-law, were allowed to meet the patient on Friday night.
