November 22, 2020 12:44
The health condition of former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi marginally improved on Sunday morning, and he is currently semi-conscious, Abhijit Sarma, the superintendent of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, said.
The veteran Congress leader was admitted to GMCH on November 2 due to post-COVID complications.
Sarma told reporters that doctors have repeated all clinical tests and his vital health parameters have shown improvement compared to that of Saturday.
"He is semi-conscious now. We had said last night that 48 hours were very critical for him. Twenty four hours have passed and there is no deterioration in his health condition. That is the most important thing," he stated.
Gogoi's pulse rate and blood pressure are under check, and his oxygen saturation level 95-97 per cent.
"The only worry is the urine output, which is around 100-120 ml in 24 hours," he said, adding that doctors will soon decide on the next step that was to be taken to improve his kidney functioning.
The 84-year-old politician spontaneously opened his eyes and looked around in the morning, the GMCH superintendent said.
"There was slight movement, which we call moto movement. This is a good sign. Technically speaking, although he is critical, he is stable haemodynamically," he maintained.
