Pushpa 2 Screening Stampede: The child injured in the stampede at Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad during the premiere show of Pushpa 2 on December 4 is still critical and on ventilator support. According to the health bulletin issued by Hyderabad’s KIMS Cuddles Hospital on Tuesday, eight-year-old Mr. Tej is in the ICU and there is no improvement in his neurological condition.
What did the doctors say?
According to doctors, he was on mechanical ventilation with minimal support of oxygen and pressure. Apart from this, tracheostomy (a process in which a pipe is surgically inserted into the wind pipe to facilitate breathing) is being considered to remove him from the ventilator. “His fever is subsiding and on minimal inotropes, his parameters are stable,” a statement from the hospital said.
The hospital statement said that the child was brought on December 4 with low oxygen saturation and difficulty in breathing. His breathing support was removed on 10 December but due to respiratory distress he had to be intubated again on 12 December.
Shri Tej was brain dead
Meanwhile, Hyderabad City Police Commissioner CV Anand, after visiting the hospital, said that Mr Tej had become brain dead due to lack of breathing during the stampede and it would take a long time for him to recover.
