Schumacher remains critical after surgery

Michael Schumacher, seven-time Formula One drivers champion, remains in critical condition even after surgery.

According to reports from the doctors who are treating the driver for a head injury, they are keeping him in a state of hypothermia to cool his brains and reduce pressure which may cause swelling.

The racing car driver was injured in a ski accident on Sunday and has been in the intensive care unit.

The three surgeons who are  working "hour-by-hour" to his life, wouldn't give specific details on his injuries, but said there was no intention for a second surgery.

Although Schumacher was wearing a helmet and conscious in the immediate aftermath of the accident, his condition has deteriorated.

  

Arriving at the hospital in a coma, he soon underwent surgery with officials confirming he had suffered a "severe brain trauma".
