00:03First of all, that the state of health of the Vice President Angelino Garzón is not present
00:07any novedad and continues in the intensive care unit of the last June 18th.
00:14Second of all, that the clinic reiterates his commitment to that in case of any novedad
00:19in the state of health of the patient and obviously with the authorization of the family,
00:24and in third place, he informed that a new medical report will be delivered to the 5th of the afternoon.
00:37It will be detailed and specific report about the cerebral disease that suffered the Vice President
00:43and how has been its evolution in the last 48 hours.
00:48Noticias Desarrollo Karen, we are very attentive.
00:50If we go back to our center of news, we are also with us Dr. Fernanda Lucía.
00:54We have many questions, Dr. Fernanda.
00:56We are talking about the mesencephalus.
00:59What is the mesencephalus and how important is this place in the brain?
01:03Mabel, very good afternoon.
01:04Look, like any area of the brain has very important functions.
01:08Specifically, the mesencephalus is the charge of the control of the movement of our eyes,
01:14and the movement and the sensibility of the face.
01:16Now, we don't know in detail what is the extension and the gravedad of the vision of the Vice President,
01:21so we can't talk about complications or secuelas.
01:24What can I say?
01:25Adicionalmente, that very close to the mesencephalus
01:28there are structures that control functions vitales.
01:31For example, the frequency cardiac, the tension arterial, the respiration, the conscience.
01:35That's why he is probably under a strict monitor.
01:40Yes.
01:41Doctora, also in the recent medical department,
01:43there is a system of neurologic intraventricular monitoring.
01:48Can you explain that, Doctora?
01:49Yes, that's what we understand more easily through a graph.
01:53It's basically a cateter that is introduced through the upper part of the head.
01:57For a very small period, it's a minimally invasive procedure.
02:01What is the objective?
02:02Medir the pressure within the crânion.
02:04We know that a lesion causes inflammation,
02:07and that liquid can cause the damage to the liquid.
02:09And that liquid can cause the damage to the liquid.
02:12That's why the importance of the intra-cranial monitoring.
02:15Even in the moment that increases the pressure,
02:18you can make by that same cateter,
02:19a drenaje of liquid to maintain the control of the situation.
02:23I'll tell you that,
02:24that usually,
02:25that these types of cateteres
02:26are in the middle of the brain
02:28for a week,
02:29because, of course,
02:30it's a strange body in the brain
02:32and there is a probability of a infection.
02:35Doctora Fernanda Lucía,
02:36you mentioned that it's a lesion irreversible.
02:38It's a lesion irreversible.
02:39It's a lesion irreversible.
02:40It's very difficult with the information
02:41that we have to take a conclusion.
02:44I can tell you,
02:44there are lesions
02:45of the mesencephalos,
02:47of the tally cerebral,
02:48that they recover.
02:49There are patients
02:49that are with secuelas,
02:51for example,
02:51and mainly,
02:52of the movement
02:53to walk.
02:54And there are patients
02:55with the tally cerebral
02:56in which,
02:57that they are threatening the life.
02:59We hope this is not the case
03:00of the Vice President.
03:02And I insist,
03:03only the doctors,
03:04in this moment,
03:05who know in detail
03:06the clinical history
03:06are the ones who can say
03:08that it's a lesion irreversible
03:10or reversible.
