Sharon to remain in coma until Monday

Doctors will start bringing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon out of his medically induced coma Monday, provided there are no changes in his condition, hospital officials said Sunday.

Dr. Shlomo Mor-Yosef said Sharon remained in critical condition, but his vital signs, including the pressure inside his skull, were normal. He said a brain scan taken Sunday showed some improvement.

Bringing Sharon out of the coma is an important step toward assessing the extent of brain damage he suffered from a massive stroke Wednesday.

Doctors made the decision after Sharon underwent another brain scan on Sunday.

One of Sharon's surgeons ruled out the possibility that he would resume his duties. The surgeon, Dr. Jose Cohen, told Channel 2 TV that Sharon's chances of survival are high, but that his ability to think and reason would be impaired.

"He will not continue to be prime minister, but maybe he will be able to understand and to speak," the Argentina-born Dr. Cohen told Spanish-language reporters Saturday. His comments, which reinforced the widespread belief that Sharon's days as prime minister are over, were published in The Jerusalem Post.

But a senior official at Hadassah Hospital's Ein Kerem branch, where Sharon was being treated, said it was too early to assess Sharon's prospects for survival.

"There was expression of hopes and thoughts ... in which some people expressed optimism," said Dr. Yair Birenboim, director of the Ein Kerem unit. "That was definitely an expression that we think was premature."

Sharon has been hospitalized since suffering a massive stroke on Wednesday night. He has undergone two rounds of surgery to stop bleeding in the brain and to relieve pressure inside his skull. Doctors have placed him in what they call an induced coma — under heavy sedation and connected to a respirator — to give him time to heal.

Sharon's medical team gathered early Sunday to decide when to lift the sedation and pull him out of the coma, Hadassah Hospital spokesman Ron Krumer said. They suspended the meeting after about an hour for the brain scan, and were scheduled to reconvene later in the day, he added.
