Stênio Garcia is still hospitalized, awaiting exams and the team asks for respect

Stênio Garcia remains hospitalized at the Samaritano hospital, in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. The actor fell ill on Saturday, July 1st and was taken to the place where, after some tests, the medical team that assists him detected an acute septicemia.

“We inform you that Stênio Garcia is under observation at Hospital Samaritano, stable, awaiting the results of some tests accompanied by his partner Marilene Saad. We also ask that the couple’s privacy be respected at this delicate time. New updates on the actor’s health status may be passed, as soon as the medical bulletins are made available by the hospital”.

HEALTH FRAMEWORK IS NOT ABOUT HARMONIZATION

Stênio Garcia’s wife, Marilene Saad appeared on social media on Monday, June 3, to update the artist’s health status, who was hospitalized this past weekend.

“Passing by to inform you that Stênio Garcia is doing better. Urine and Doppler tests did not detect any changes / bacteria!”, he stated.

According to her, the biggest problem is in the spine: “The biggest inflammation is in the spine, as already mentioned, due to pinching of the nerve. The relationship with aesthetic procedures or with the facial harmonization performed 1 month ago is ruled out”.

WHAT IS SEPTICEMIA

According to Dr Drauzio Varella’s website. septicemia, which is also known as generalized infection, sepsis or sepsis, is a response of the body to an infection, caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or protozoa, is a potentially serious disease triggered by an inflammation that spreads through the body in the face of a infection, which may lead to a drop in blood pressure, organ failure, among other symptoms.

It is a complex and potentially serious disease. It is triggered by a marked systemic inflammatory response to an infection, most often caused by bacteria. This reaction is the body’s way of fighting the offending microorganism.

For this, the defense system releases chemical mediators that spread inflammation throughout the body, which can determine the dysfunction or failure of multiple organs, caused by a drop in blood pressure, poor oxygenation of cells and tissues and changes in blood clotting. .

The most common is the initial infectious focus to settle in the following organs: lungs (for example, pneumonia), abdomen (appendicitis, peritonitis, biliary and hepatic infections, which are called abdominal sepsis), kidneys and bladder (urinary and kidneys), in the skin (wounds, cellulitis, erysipelas, openings for catheters and probes, abscesses) and in the central nervous system (for example, meningitis).

According to the degree of evolution, the syndrome can be classified into 3 levels:

• Sepsis: The inflammatory response provoked by the infection is associated with at least two other signs. For example, fever, chills and shortness of breath, among others
• Severe sepsis: When there is functional impairment of one or more organs
• Septic shock: A dramatic drop in blood pressure that does not respond to intravenous fluids.

According to the Ministry of Health, the most common outbreaks linked to the disease are pneumonia, urinary tract infection and abdominal infection. The agency claims that the disease is responsible for about 11 million deaths a year worldwide.

There are no specific tests for septicemia, but some tests help to identify the existence of the infection and the diagnosis is based on identifying the infectious focus and signs of organ malfunction.
