NEW DELHI: Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi, admitted at the AIIMS here, showed some signs of improvement this evening and doctors took him off the ventilator support.

"We were trying to put him on and off ventilator since morning. By evening he was completely off the ventilator support. He is still under close observation and condition remains critical," Dr V K Behl, Head of Cardiology, AIIMS said.

The X-ray of his chest showed there were signs of improvement in the lung condition. "His cardiac condition has been stabilized and his BP, heart rate, urinary output and oxygen saturation has been maintained," D K Sharma, Medical Superintendent, AIIMS, said.

Sharma said that his condition continued to remain critical but stable. Doctors said despite little improvement in pulmonary function, he still requires some respiratory support.

"He still requires some respiratory support. He has spent a comfortable night in CCU. His blood sugar is also under control," the medical superintendent said.

Dasmunsi was admitted to the AIIMS yesterday with complete left ventricular failure of the heart. He is under close observation in Coronary Care Unit (CCU). A multi-discipline team of doctors led by cardiology department head Dr V K Behl is treating him.
