Overview
- Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar visited KIMS in Bengaluru and was briefed by doctors who said D Sudhakar remains stable on life support.
- Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the minister is unconscious yet stable on a ventilator, with other organs functioning, and that doctors planned a CT scan to guide care.
- D Sudhakar was moved on April 20 to KIMS on extracorporeal life support, a machine that oxygenates blood outside the body when the lungs cannot do so.
- KIMS stated that a multidisciplinary team is monitoring him round the clock and that he is on full life support to assist vital organ functions.
- The hospital said a lung transplant may be considered if his lungs do not improve, as JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy separately alleged the government is withholding health details.
