A statement released by the hospital with the agreement of Zanardi’s family on Thursday said “the progressive reduction of sedo-analgesia has been started in these days.”
The doctors noted the effect of this change in Zanardi’s therapy will take time to become clear.
“Following the reduction of sedation, it will take a few days for further evaluations of the patient by the multidisciplinary team that takes care of the athlete, to allow any continuation of his therapeutic and rehabilitative path,” said the statement.
“Currently, the cardio-respiratory and metabolic parameters remain stable, the neurological picture remains serious and the prognosis remains confidential,” it added.
The hospital intends to issue a further update next week on the condition of the former Formula 1 driver, two-times CART IndyCar champion and four-times Paralympics hold medal winner.
