HYDERABAD: Twenty-fours after they gave a grim prognosis for the health of former cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin’s son Mohammed Ayazuddin, doctors continued to describe the condition of the teenager as critical.The 19-year-old suffered grave injuries in a motorbike accident on the Outer Ring Road on Sunday morning in which his cousin Azmal-ur-Rahman, riding pillion, was killed. Azharuddin, who was in London when the accident occurred, reached Hyderabad early Monday morning. Giving an update on Ayaz’s condition Monday evening, Hari Prasad, CEO of the Apollo Group, said the young man continued to be in a grave condition, having suffered extensive chest and kidney injuries and multiple cardiac arrests. He required multiple interventions and massive blood transfusions.Prasad said, “He suffered rib fractures on both sides, an intestinal injury, and a severe injury to the left lung. He was immediately operated upon to stop the bleeding in the left lung. His blood pressure has been stable and he continued to be on ventilator support. His vital functions are being maintained with medication.” He added, “There was severe bleeding in the left kidney and his condition would not permit surgical intervention. We have, however, controlled the bleeding. About 70-80 blood units were required.” He also mentioned that a multi-speciality team including neurologists and nephrologists are working on saving the 19-year-old.
