| Actress Suchitra Sen was still in a critical condition at a hospital in Kolkata although her health did not deteriorate further after an endotracheal tube was removed today, doctors attending on her said.
The 82-year-old actress was put on BIPAP therapy through an endotracheal tube to control her oxygen saturation level in blood.
Critical care specialist Dr Subarata Maitra told reporters that they were worried as to how her system would react after the withdrawal of the tube but her oxygen saturation remained satisfactory.
He said the doctors were trying to remove the excess fluid accumulation in her lungs through nebulisation and antibiotics.
"Although critically ill, she is in a stable condition. Age is against her. There has been no improvement in her health but there has been no deterioration either," said Dr Maitra, who is leading a medical board team which is monitoring the health of its star patient round the clock at the super-speciality Belle Vue Clinic.
The actress was admitted on December 23 following a respiratory tract infection.
Physiotherapy would be resumed to ease the lung congestion, doctors said adding that she was also being given potassium supplements.
