84-year-old Mukherjee was admitted to the hospital on August 10 and underwent a critical brain surgery to remove a clot in his brain after he suffered a fall at his Rajaji Marg residence a day before.
Former President Pranab Mukherjee continued to be in deep coma and is haemodynamically stable, the Army’s Research and Referral hospital said in a medical bulletin on Thursday.
Pranab Mukherjee has also tested positive for the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
“Hon’ble Shri Pranab Mukherjee continues to be in deep coma and on ventilator support. He is being treated for lung infection and renal dysfunction. He is haemodynamically stable,” the hospital said.
Doctors say a patient is haemodynamically stable when the blood circulation parameters - blood pressure, heart and pulse rate, are stable and normal.
