Baby girl off the ventilator

February 11, 2012 02:08 am | Updated July 23, 2016 10:44 pm IST - NEW DELHI:

The condition of the two-year-old baby girl at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences Trauma Centre has improved marginally with the doctors taking her off the ventilator on Friday.

“The baby has shown marginal improvement during the past 24 hours, so we have taken her off the ventilator, though the brain infection is still aggressive,” said AIIMS Trauma Centre assistant professor Dr. Deepak Agrawal.

The doctors are now waiting for the brain infection to subside, after which she is scheduled to have another surgery.

The baby was abandoned in a battered state at the Institute last month.
