In accordance with the doctor, Salim was first treated within the casualty ward upon arrival. In the course of the initial examination, doctors administered medication and determined that he required intensive care monitoring. He was subsequently shifted to the ICU.
The medical team noted that he was experiencing hypertension, which was promptly treated. As a precautionary measure, he was placed on a ventilator while further investigations were carried out. The doctor clarified that the ventilator support was purely preventive and never indicative of a critical condition.
“We would have liked to perform investigations, and today we performed a minor procedure. The procedure performed was a DSA by a neurosurgeon and has been completed successfully. He’s nice and stable and has been shifted to the ICU. By tomorrow, he will likely be taken off the ventilator. He’s doing quite well. Age is an element, we understand,” the doctor said.
Providing further details, the doctor added in Hindi, “Woh aaye toh fully conscious aur fit lag rahe the. Thoda sa brain haemorrhage hua tha, jise humne tackle kar diya. Uske liye kisi surgery ki zarurat nahi hai.”
(He got here in fully conscious and appeared fit. There was a minor brain haemorrhage, which we’ve got managed. There isn’t a need for surgery.)
Hospital authorities confirmed that Salim stays stable within the ICU and continues to be under close remark.
