Pranab’s respiratory parameters show improvement

 

Former President Pranab Mukherjee’s respiratory parameters have shown some improvement following the lung infection he had developed a day before, the Army’s Research and Referral (R&R) hospital said on Thursday.

“The respiratory parameters of Pranab Mukherjee have shown slight improvement though he continues to be on ventilatory support. His vital and clinical parameters remain stable and are being closely monitored by a team of specialists,” the hospital said in a statement.

On Wednesday, Mr. Mukherjee’s medical condition declined as he developed features of lung infection.

On August 10, he underwent a life-saving emergency surgery for a brain clot and has since been on ventilator support. He had also tested positive for COVID-19.
