However, the clinical stability allowed to moderate the sedation and keep him conscious.”He is a fighter and very collaborative and this helps clinicians a lot in managing the disease. Apart from the breath[ing], all other organs are functional”.Following a Covid-19 diagnosis and self-isolation at home, Gresini required admission to hospital in Imola on December 27 before being moved to a specialist Covid ward in Bologna on December 30.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Yamaha on early MotoGP signings: Nobody wants to be ‘gazumped’accImages.createImage(); Valentino Rossi, Luca Marini qualify eighth for Gulf 12 HoursThere, the 59-year-old was placed in a pharmacological coma due to ‘very low blood oxygen saturation levels’ but on January 1, ‘in light of stable and improving general conditions’, doctors began a ‘slow awakening process’.It was hoped that independent lung ventilation would soon follow, but for now, Gresini – who runs teams in all three grand prix classes, plus MotoE – continues to use mechanical ventilation.
