The diagnosis is a significant stroke. The prime minister has been anesthetized and is on a breathing device. |
The key problem is his lack of consciousness. |
The prime minister can die tonight. The prime minister can go back to normal, relatively normal, life in six months. We can't forecast what will be tomorrow. |
The prime minister had a CT scan that showed that the bleeding has stopped. He was then put in the neurological emergency unit for observation ... All vital signs are functional and stable. The prime minister is in critical condition. |
The prime minister has had a CT scan that showed the cerebral hemorrhaging has stopped. The prime minister is now being transferred to the neurosurgical intensive care unit. In the unit, he will be treated, observed and cared for. |
The prime minister is sedated and on a respirator. One could say his condition is grave. |
The Prime Minister received the most appropriate treatment for the medical condition in which he found himself. He was treated by the best experts at Hadassah and we made every effort to consult with experts from other places. |
The situation is a serious one. |
The situation is still serious, but it's stable. |
The situation is still serious, but it's stable. All the parameters ... are as expected following this type of surgery. Part of the treatment of the prime minister, in order to preserve low pressure in the skull, is sedation and respiration for at least the next 24 hours. |
The surgery proceeded with no complications . . . but . . . today's surgery didn't improve Sharon's health. Every such incident does not improve the prime minister's chances of waking up. |
There has been no change during the night. All the vital signs that we measure -- blood pressure, intra-cranial pressure -- all these vital signs have been stable, within the normal levels and this is positive. |
There were no complications at all. |
This is a lengthy process. It won't be in the coming hours. It will be at least 48 hours after the prime minister's emergence from surgery. |
This treatment will last anything between 48 and 72 hours and then we will try to gradually wake the prime minister. |
