En ny officiel opdatering melder om nyt fra Jules Bianchis familie og fra Mie General Medical Centre, hvor Bianchi er indlagt.
Beskeden, der er udsendt sent tirsdag eftermiddag dansk tid, melder om at franske Jules Bianchi er stabil efter indgrebet søndag – men i kritisk tilstand.
Franskmanden er ramt af en såkaldt ‘diffuse axonal injury’ – en skade, der rammer større dele af hjernen efter traume. Skaden rammer typisk ved kraftig deceleration, hvorved hjernen får traume.
Ifølge opslagsværker er udkommet af en sådan læsion i 90 % af tilfældene koma. Patienter, der vågner fra tilstanden, har ofte lammelser.
Ifølge meddelelsen er eksperter fra FIA og fra Roms universitet til stede i Japan.
Her følger meddelelsen i sin fulde længde.
“This is a very difficult time for our family, but the messages of support and affection for Jules from all over the world have been a source of great comfort to us. We would like to express our sincere appreciation.
Jules remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi. He has suffered a diffuse axonal injury and is in a critical but stable condition. The medical professionals at the hospital are providing the very best treatment and care and we are grateful for everything they have done for Jules since his accident.
We are also grateful for the presence of Professor Gerard Saillant, President of the FIA Medical Commission, and Professor Alessandro Frati, Neurosurgeon of the University of Rome La Sapienza, who has travelled to Japan at the request of Scuderia Ferrari. They arrived at the hospital today and met with the medical personnel responsible for Jules’ treatment, in order to be fully informed of his clinical status so that they are able to advise the family. Professors Saillant and Frati acknowledge the excellent care being provided by the Mie General Medical Center and would like to thank their Japanese colleagues.
The hospital will continue to monitor and treat Jules and further medical updates will be provided when appropriate.”
