Kostomarov has been fighting for his life for the third month in the intensive care unit of the Kommunarka hospital. The Olympic champion was brought to this clinic with severe bilateral pneumonia. The 46-year-old skater has serious problems with his lungs, liver and kidneys. The athlete suffered two strokes. Surgeons amputated Roman’s legs and several fingers.
In the last week, doctors noted a positive dynamic in the condition of Taťana Navka’s former partner. Kostomarov’s tracheostomy was removed – and he again began to breathe through his mouth, and not with a “tube in his throat”. Andrey Shestakov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, commented on the prospects for the skater’s recovery. He stated that Roman had multiple organ failure.
“Multiple organ failure means that almost all organs have problems, are affected,” the surgeon said. “The matter is serious and complex. Kostomarov may have good tests, but it’s too early to be happy about multiple organ failure. If you look into the medical history of many dead, you may come across this term. In fact, it is a lesion of the cavity of all organs.
The doctor noted that the improvement in Kostomarov’s condition is associated with the effect of medication. According to Shestakov, it is premature to talk about the athlete’s recovery.
“I see no reason to be positive. Multiple organ failures indicate major problems. God forbid that everything gets better, but it is extremely difficult to deal with it, “said Andrey to the Sport24 portal.
Ilya Averbukh explained on the eve that Roman was conscious. The “Ice Age” producer assured that the “light at the end of the tunnel” is already there. Liza Arzamasova’s husband promised to do everything to return Kostomarov to an active life.
