Concern continues for coach Gustavo Raggio, hospitalized for serious respiratory pathologies: what the new report says

The former footballer and coach Gustavo Raggio, 52 years old, has been hospitalized since February 5th with a reserved prognosis at the Río Cuarto Medical Institute, due to a bilateral respiratory condition that has complicated his condition.

The news was made known through a publication by Estudiantes de Río Cuarto on its social networks: “Our coach, Mr. Gustavo Raggio, hospitalized at the Río Cuarto Medical Institute since February 5, suffers from a bilateral respiratory disease” .

In the first 24 hours of hospitalization the evolution was not as expected and according to the report Raggio “showed a worsening of his condition, requiring greater respiratory support assistance”.

Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, who signed Raggio in December, published a message asking that “all the friends of the club accompany him with their prayers for the improvement of his health”, accompanying their post with the hashtag #FuerzaGustavo.

On Sunday 4 February Raggio took charge of his first full-court match at Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. The victory was 1-0 against Deprotivo Madryn and Carozo, as he was nicknamed, did not show any health problems.

However, the next day, he was admitted to the Río Cuarto Medical Institute for a “bilateral respiratory condition”, according to the club.

Raggio, born in Villa Constitución and with a long career in football promotion, arrived at the clinic with a condition of “dehydration and pneumonia”.

It was thought he would be discharged the next day, but the situation became complicated and required respiratory assistance.

On Monday, a new report signed by the Medical Directorate of the clinic was released: “Mr. Gustavo Raggio is improving in the intensive care unit, his vital parameters are stabilized, he continues with advanced life support, his prognosis remains reserved”.
