The Olympic champion in ice dancing in a pair with Taťána Navka was transferred to intensive care on January 9. The skater was diagnosed with pneumonia. The athlete was transferred to Kommunarka. There he was connected to an emergency ECMO machine to keep the patient alive.

The former partner of Taťana Navka was previously diagnosed not only with pneumonia, but also with sepsis. Today it was revealed that Roman had been taken off ECMO and put on a ventilator.

“The moment is improving. The forecasts have become more optimistic, but the situation is still very complicated. Although, of course, not as much as a few days ago. Glory to the doctors! – a source close to the skater’s environment shared with Sport24.

It turned out that the athlete did not have the coronavirus or the flu. “The novel regularly comes to mind. He is now under medical sedation, receiving vasopressors. The main thing is that it is stable. We are not talking about moving to the general department yet,” an insider from Kommunarka told the Prozvezd portal. Vasopressors are drugs to increase blood pressure.

Alexander Zhulin spoke about the cause of Roman Kostomarov’s illness. The skater believes that his colleague’s worsening condition provoked his visit to the bath.
