Former Santa Fe governor Carlos Reutemann continues to be hospitalized for a digestive hemorrhage in a sanatorium in Rosario, where his condition showed a slight improvement in the last 24 hours and he is "stable and without a respirator."
This was reported by the director of the Sanatorio Parque, Juan José Boretti, who explained that the senator's condition
"today is good, he is in therapy for observation without a respirator and hemodynamically stable
.
"
In dialogue with the
Todo Noticias
channel
, the specialist added that "luckily in the last 24 hours he
had no signs of active bleeding
, although a series of studies had to be carried out over the weekend to locate the bleeding site."
"Today's novelty is that
an endocapsule was placed
to film the entire digestive tract to locate bleeding sites in the small intestine," he concluded.
Reutemann, 79, had been admitted to a clinic in Santa Fe last Wednesday and a day later he was referred to an intensive care room.
After ruling out a possible contagion of coronavirus and after a series of complications, the former Formula One driver had to be rushed to a highly complex sanatorium in Rosario to attend to his digestive bleeding problem.
On Sunday, the medical report had detailed
"digestive bleeding and the consequent hemodynamic decompensation"
of the senator and indicated a "downward trend in blood pressure and worsening of biochemical parameters."

Reutemann had already undergone surgery in New York in 2017 for liver cancer.
"He
had a tumor in the liver
. They had to do quite complex surgery because the tumor was encapsulated," the senator had revealed at that time.
"It was a very long surgery of six or seven hours and it took three months to heal. I had a slow recovery," he added about the rehabilitation process.
