New Delhi: Former Indian cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital here following lung infection, has been shifted to the ICU. Mansur Ali Khan continues to remain critically ill in the ICU. He is on a high level of oxygen support, requiring intermittent BIPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure). He is conscious and his cardiac function remains stable. He is being monitored very closely, a hospital bulletin said. Pataudi is being observed closely by a team of pulmonologists and critical care specialists, it said. 70-year-old Pataudi, was admitted to the hospital last month end and has been diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, a condition in which the passage of oxygen to the lungs is less than normal. "He is suffering from a disease which does not have proper or permanent cure. It takes time. The patient in such cases breathes out more of carbon dioxide," a doctor with the hospital said.
