SRI SATYA Saibaba, who was admitted to hospital following chest and lung congestion on March 28, is breathing more easily now but continues to be on ventilator support, doctors treating him said yesterday evening.
“Bhagwan Sri Satya Sai Baba, who has been in the hospital for the last five days, is responding to treatment given to him quite satisfactorily. He is still on assisted ventilation to help his respiratory system and is breathing more easily now,” a health bulletin issued by A N Safaya, Director of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, said.
“He had a hemodialysis in the morning. The panel of specialists are monitoring all his vital functions including his kidneys and are satisfied with his response to treatment,” the bulletin, second during the day, said.
The earlier bulletin stated that Satya Saibaba was on ventilator support for assisting respiration.
Meanwhile, a team of government doctors from Andhra Pradesh who visited Satya Saibaba, said his condition is stable.
“It has stabilized. Stabilising means he is responding, blood pressure is in normal range, pulse rate is normal,” Raviraj , a top government health official, said.
“Today, a team of specialists deputed by the government of Andhra Pradesh also went through the processes of treatment rendered to him and had a detailed and fruitful discussion with the panel of specialists treating Bhagwan Baba,” the bulletin said.
The 85-year-old Bhagwan Satya Saibaba was admitted to the super speciality hospital at Prashantigram at Puttaparty following respiration-related problems.
