Arun Jaitley put on life support, says AIIMS

18/08/2019

Mr. Jaitley has been undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit after he was admitted to the AIIMS with complaints of uneasiness, weakness and breathlessness.

Dr. Vardhan said on Friday: “Doctors at AIIMS are doing the best they can.”

AIIMS officials have noted that Mr. Jaitley was now stable and recovering. The 67-year-old leader is under the care of a team of endocrinologists, nephrologists and cardiologists.

Mr. Jaitley has been put on ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), also known as extracorporeal life support. This is an extracorporeal technique of providing prolonged cardiac and respiratory support to persons whose heart and lungs are unable to provide an adequate amount of gas exchange or perfusion to sustain life.
