Thiago Medina Remains in ICU After Respiratory Crisis as Family Plans Vigil

A Friday vigil outside the Moreno hospital follows a respiratory decompensation that physicians report responded to targeted maneuvers.

Overview

  • An official Sept. 24 bulletin said he suffered a respiratory decompensation that required specific maneuvers, after which he showed a favorable response with stable ventilatory parameters and no need for inotropic drugs.
  • The hospital convened an interdisciplinary ateneo to reassess care, optimizing analgesia via a new route and modifying the antibiotic regimen to support respiratory improvement.
  • He remains in intensive care on ventilatory support with severe lung compromise following thoracic trauma, rib reconstruction and earlier emergency surgery including a splenectomy.
  • Relatives report he was placed in the prone position due to poor oxygenation, and the prognosis remains reserved as the family continues to ask for prayers.
  • Supporters and family set a vigil for Friday, Sept. 26, at the Hospital Mariano y Luciano de la Vega in Moreno, and later on Sept. 25 Daniela Celis said he was stable and afebrile while continuing antibiotics and surgical wound care.
