Last-Minute Update on Sırrı Süreyya Önder’s Health
Health Update on Dem Party Istanbul Deputy Sirrı Süreyya Önder
Democratic Party Istanbul Deputy Sirrı Süreyya Önder remains in a critical condition after being hospitalized due to heart disease. He has been receiving intensive care for the past 13 days, and recent updates from his medical team indicate a concerning decline in his health status.
Current Health Status
Doctors have revealed that Önder is currently on a heart support device but is experiencing significant neurological deterioration. On the 13th day of his treatment, the medical team stated that the patient is facing increased life-threatening risks, particularly concerning brain blood flow.
"In our intensive care unit, we are encountering another critical phase. While issues with the heart system were initially dominant, neurological complications have become more pronounced recently," explained a member of the medical team. "Reflexes are steadily decreasing, and electro-physiological examinations show diminished response."
Neurological Concerns
The doctors noted that Önder is experiencing brain edema, which has worsened his condition. Although it remains premature to predict the exact timeline for recovery, there is cautious optimism regarding some aspects of his treatment. "At this moment, we have not indicated any signs of brain death, but continuous monitoring is essential," a physician stated.
Currently, Önder’s lungs are also compromised, and he is reliant on ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) to support his heart and lungs. Despite efforts to improve his heart function, there has been no progress, with the last eight days showing no response to any sleeping medication.
Communication from the Hospital
In statements released to the public, the hospital has emphasized that while the heart support device is still operational, Önder’s neurological condition is deteriorating. "We have reached another breaking point," the statement read, highlighting the decrease in reflexes and the ongoing pressures on his brain.
As his treatment continues, the medical team is committed to doing everything possible to manage his condition, though they acknowledge the gravity of his situation remains high. The battle for Önder’s life is ongoing and many are holding onto hope for a miracle.
