Thiago Medina Remains Critical in ICU as Doctors Revise Care After Respiratory Decompensation

An interdisciplinary team in Moreno adjusted his analgesia and antibiotic regimens following a setback that showed a favorable immediate response.

Overview

  • The hospital reported he had a respiratory decompensation but now has stable ventilatory parameters and arterial gases, remains on targeted antibiotics, and does not require inotropic drugs, with prognosis still reserved.
  • An ateneo clínico interdisciplinario reviewed his evolution and led to a change in the route of analgesia and a modification of the antibiotic scheme to support respiratory improvement.
  • His course includes acute lung injury under antibiotic coverage after an earlier atelectasis resolved with kinesiotherapy, and doctors placed him in the prone position due to poor oxygen saturation.
  • Family members asked for prayers and limited press interactions at the hospital, with his sister and ex‑partner sharing emotional messages about his precarious state.
  • The 22‑year‑old remains in intensive care after the September 12 motorcycle crash that led to emergency surgeries, including a splenectomy and later rib‑cage reconstruction.
