Wife of Brazil's former president Lula still sedated

Brazil's former first lady Marisa Letícia Lula da Silva remains at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo. According to a health condition update from the hospital released Friday (Jan 27), she is still sedated, but her clinical, neurological, and tomographic condition are stable. Her intracranial pressure is under control with intensive support.

On January 25, the wife of Brazil's former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had a new tomographic evaluation of her brain to monitor cerebral bleed. A ventricular catheter was used to monitor her intracranial pressure.

Marisa da Silva was admitted into Sirio-Libanês on Tuesday afternoon (24) with a brain haemorrhage due to a ruptured brain aneurism. It is not known how long she will remain under intensive care.
