Excise Constable Soumya Remains Critical: Battling Multiple Organ Failure At NIMS

HYDERABAD: G. Soumya, the excise constable injured in a car attack by ganja smugglers on January 24, remained in a critical condition, unconscious and on life support, with multiple organ systems under strain, according to a health update provided by the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (Nims), where she is undergoing treatment since January 25.
Soumya is in the respiratory intensive care unit. Doctors said her liver function had deteriorated rapidly within two days which led to very high ammonia levels and brain swelling that was being actively managed. Intensive measures were underway to reduce ammonia levels through dialysis based therapies, and treatment is continuing to protect brain function and control swelling.
Her blood pressure remained unstable and required increasing medication support. She was receiving kidney support through dialysis and remained on mechanical breathing support, though oxygen levels were satisfactory. Heart function was within normal limits, and she has received blood and platelet transfusions as part of care.
Doctors intensified antibiotic treatment due to recent blood pressure fluctuations and the possibility of infection.
