Thiago Medina Stable on Ventilator After Respiratory Setback, Prognosis Still Reserved

Doctors convened an interdisciplinary review after a respiratory setback to reassess care.

Overview

  • An official hospital bulletin says Medina had a respiratory decompensation that required specific maneuvers and evolved with a favorable immediate response.
  • He is reported without inotropic drug support, with stable ventilatory parameters and arterial gases, and remains under targeted antibiotic coverage.
  • Hospital and provincial specialists held an ateneo clínico to review his course and agreed to optimize analgesia and adjust the antibiotic regimen.
  • Family members say he was placed in the prone position due to low oxygen saturation and have intensified public requests for prayers.
  • Relatives have limited press interactions at the Moreno hospital as the 22-year-old continues critical care following multiple injuries and prior surgeries after the Sept. 12 crash.
