Soumitra put on ventilator support

Veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee’s health condition has deteriorated yesterday evening. The actor was put on ventilation support at 3:00pm on Monday. Soumitra’s oxygen support is less than 40 per cent, reported by
The Indian Express.
The actor’s kidneys, which were functioning without support till yesterday, now appear to have been impacted and his urea and creatinine levels have gone up. The 85-year-old thespian was
put on ventilator support with
an endotracheal intubation to protect his airways, the doctor said. Three hours after the
invasive procedure, doctors said Soumitra’s condition seemed
stable. But in an 8:00pm bulletin on Monday, doctors reported kidney trouble for the first time in the actor’s 21-day-stay at the hospital where he was admitted
with Covid-19 on October 6.
“He is not that well. His condition has definitely deteriorated,” Dr Arindam Kar of Belle Vue Clinic said. He is leading the team taking care of Soumitra Chatterjee. Among other complications is a patch in the lungs’ exterior, which may indicate the onset of fresh pneumonia.
