Mubarak's sons are at his bedside in intensive care ward and doctors have used a defibrillator.

Egyptian security officials say the health of ousted President Hosni Mubarak has deteriorated, with doctors having to use a defibrillator twice and feed him liquids intravenously.

The officials say Mubarak's two sons are at his side at the intensive care ward of Torah prison hospital south of Cairo where the 84-year-old former president is serving a life sentence.

The officials, who are at Torah, did not say whether the defibrillator was used because Mubarak's heart stopped or to remedy irregular heartbeats.
