The hospital said the condition of the 91-year-old general had suddenly worsened, AP news agency said.
Gen Pinochet was in power from 1973-90, during which time more than 3,000 people were killed or "disappeared".
He is accused of dozens of human rights violations but has never faced trial because of poor health.
Gen Pinochet suffered a heart attack a week ago. He underwent medical procedures and received the last rites from a Catholic priest.
His condition had been thought to be improving.

"He is accused of dozens of human rights violations but has never faced trial because of poor health."
With ten thousands dead, disappeared and/or tortured and a chilean diaspora of about 1 000 000 persons, the accused part sounds strange.
No one denies the crimes of the fascist regime anymore, but fascists claim it was justified and necessary to crush the internal enemy.
