Jordi Pujol’s life is not in danger but “it is premature to determine the neurological consequences of the stroke”

The doctors who treat the former Catalan president Jordi Pujol at the Hospital de Sant Pau do not fear for his life but they assure that it is still early to determine the sequelae he may suffer from the stroke because he is under the effects of sedative treatment. The intervention that was carried out in the emergency room this Monday afternoon went well and the next 24-48 hours will be decisive to know the consequences. “We are facing a treatable medical emergency. It was detected with enough time to administer the treatment”, explained Albert Lleó, director of the neurology service at Hospital de Sant Pau. He has already recognized his children The former Catalan president is accompanied by his family and has already recognized his children. “He is conscious but under the effects of sedative medication. Throughout the day a cranial CT scan will be done to assess the injuries,” explained his doctors. The former president has evolved favorably during the night and is now in the stroke unit of the hospital center, in a conscious state, under observation and sedated by the effects of the different medications and treatments that he has received. Hospitalized between 3 and 7 days Regarding the possible sequelae that he may have, the doctors ask to wait between 24 and 48 hours to see his evolution. The forecast is that he is admitted between 3 and 7 days. “A 92-year-old patient is more fragile than a younger patient. He may have more complications,” added the medical team.
