Hyderabad: Former Narsampet MLA and senior BRS leader Peddi Sudarsan Reddy continues to receive intensive treatment at Yashoda Hospital in Secunderabad after being shifted from a private hospital in Warangal following a massive pulmonary embolism that led to hemodynamic collapse and shock.
According to a health bulletin issued by the hospital on Tuesday, Sudarsan Reddy was revived after multiple rounds of CPR and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), following an estimated 45 minutes of downtime. After initial thrombolysis in Warangal, he was shifted to Yashoda Hospital for advanced critical care.
The hospital said he is being treated by a multidisciplinary team comprising specialists in critical care, pulmonology, cardiology and neurology. His blood pressure and vital parameters are being maintained with minimal support, while he remains on mechanical ventilation.
Doctors said there has been no meaningful neurological response to verbal or painful stimuli since admission despite the absence of sedatives. EEG, MRI brain and CT scans indicated features suggestive of anoxic brain injury. A comprehensive neurological reassessment is scheduled after completion of the 72-hour observation period to better assess his prognosis.
Sudarsan Reddy’s family has been kept informed about his condition and prognosis on a continuous basis, the bulletin said.
