July 26, 2020 "Delicate" conditions. All around this word "delicate", the conditions of Alex Zanardi hospitalized at San Raffaele in Milan. The former Paralympic champion spent the second night in intensive care, where doctors work to stabilize the patient.

Due to the sensitivity of the case, the information is limited to the essentials. A decision made by the Zanardi family and by Professor Luigi Beretta, who guides the neurosurgical intensive therapy, to concentrate all the energies and efforts on the care of the ex-pilot. "A patient in intensive care - explains Beretta - is delicate, can have great improvements and sudden worsening"

From the accident to hospitalizations
After the dramatic handbike accident on 19 June, Zanardi was operated on three times in the head at the hospital in Siena, then he started neuro-rehabilitation in a specialized Lecco clinic. His condition, however, has once again become unstable, hence the decision, last Friday, of hospitalization in intensive care at San Raffaele.
