Thiago Medina Remains Critical but Stable in ICU After Respiratory Crisis

Doctors are weighing a tracheostomy to support his breathing.

Overview

  • An official hospital bulletin says he recovered from a respiratory decompensation with targeted maneuvers, has stable ventilatory parameters and arterial gases, requires no inotropic drugs, remains on antibiotics and continues with a reserved prognosis.
  • Some outlets report a newly detected intrahospital viral infection that worsened his pulmonary condition overnight, prompting continued intensive measures, though the hospital has not issued a separate confirmation of that detail.
  • Clinicians reviewed his case in an interdisciplinary meeting and are evaluating a tracheostomy in the coming days if lung function does not progress to independent breathing.
  • After a bedside visit, Daniela Celis reported no fever and ongoing surgical wound care and antibiotic treatment, and she asked supporters to keep praying.
  • Relatives described small signs of responsiveness during visits, while fans organized prayer vigils outside the Moreno hospital as searches for his health updates surged by roughly +3,950% in the past month, according to Google Trends.
