Karachentsov opens her eyes and can move his arms and legs

The condition of Nikolai Karachentsov, who was in a car accident, remains difficult, but he already opens his eyes and can move his arms and legs, said the director of the Lenkom Theater Mark Varsaver. “Nikolai Petrovich is already opening his eyes, the movement of arms and legs appeared,” he said in an interview with RIA Novosti . “It gives enormous hope,” Warsaver added.

“He did not have any inflammation of the lungs about which some media was written,” Warsaver also said. Meanwhile, earlier doctors said that the actor had pneumonia . According to the doctors, from Monday, Karachentsov holds a temperature of 37.4 degrees and antibiotics are administered intravenously.

At the same time, on Thursday, the head physician of the Sklifosovsky Sklifosovsky Research Institute, Vladimir Ryabinin, told Interfax that no dynamics have yet been noted in the state of Nikolai Karachentsov. "Doctors note neither deterioration nor any serious improvement in his condition," Ryabinin said. The actor is still unconscious in the intensive care unit of the named after Klifosovsky, and his life is supported by the apparatus of artificial ventilation of the lungs.

Despite the fact that Karachentsov is still in a coma, neurosurgeons note several positive points in the artist. Firstly, the results of the main tests remain within the norm. Secondly, the doctors managed to stabilize the blood pressure, which fell a few days ago, and it had to be maintained with the help of drugs. In addition, as it became known, the doctors managed to cope with the cerebral edema that appeared, the Russian newspaper reports.

The deep coma was replaced by a "first degree", which is, as doctors say, "superficial character." The coma of Nikolai Karachentsov passed into a more “soft” phase, although the condition of the actor that suffered in a car accident is still assessed “as stably difficult”. This was announced in an exclusive interview with ITAR-TASS by the Chief Neurosurgeon of Moscow Vladimir Krylov, participating in the treatment of Karachentsov.

As the doctors say, in the next few days it will be clear how Karachentsov will leave coma, and measures will also be taken to subsequent rehabilitation.

Until now, Karachentsov was in a state that was qualified as a coma of the second degree. In a second degree coma, a person is unconscious, he has completely lost the reaction to external stimuli - sounds, light, cold, heat and pain, a decrease in a number of reflex functions, and respiratory impairment are noted. At the end of last week, in the patient’s condition, encouraging signs were noted - “the first reactions to pain stimuli”.

Doctors: the actor will survive, but it will be difficult for him to restore all the functions of the brain

As previously reported, Karachentsov has a depressed traumatic brain injury in the area of ​​the right temple. Doctors twice conducted him a trepanation of the skull. During the first operation, its fragments and damaged particles of the brain substance were removed.

Last Friday, the head of the neuroreumation department of the Sklifosovsky Research Institute, Sergei Tsarenko, said that, most likely, the actor would survive, but it would be difficult for him to restore all the functions of the brain .

The patient’s brain functions most likely cannot be completely restored: Karachentsov has injured too large parts of the brain. The postoperative examination showed many brain hematomas and damage to the brain substance. The right hemisphere is most seriously damaged.

The human brain has the ability to successfully recover, redistributing the functions of lost parts for the remaining. But his capabilities are not endless, and with the damage that Karachentsov received, doctors doubt the possibility of complete recovery. In addition, it is the right hemisphere that is responsible for the creative abilities of a person.

The Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper asked to make a forecast regarding the health of Nikolai Karachentsov Neurosurgeon, candidate of medical sciences Oleg Sokolov.

“The right hemisphere damaged by Karachentsov is responsible for thinking and the work of the left arm and left leg,” Sokolov said. “The consequences of such an injury are the most unpredictable. If the right hemisphere is damaged, motor disorders are possible when a person is not able to move his left hand and foot.

According to the doctor, with a bruise of the brain, hematoma and partial defront of the substance of the right hemisphere of the brain, like Karachentsov, speech and memory is possible. The right hemisphere is also responsible for the creative abilities of a person. “But perhaps these functions will recover,” said the neurosurgeon, “when the actor finally comes into consciousness, then it will be possible to make further forecasts.” According to the doctor, he had a small patient with such an injury, whose creative abilities even increased after a complete cure.

The accident occurred at night on February 28

On the evening of February 28, Karachentsov was at the cottage in Valentinovka with his hand (they are married to the sisters) - the art director of the Old City restaurant Andrei Kuznetsov. Around midnight, the actor’s wife Lyudmila Porgina, who remained to spend the night with her mother at the Southwest, called, and said that her mother, who was incurably ill with cancer, died. Karachentsov, along with Kuznetsov, urgently left for her.

Karachentsov was driving. Having drove through the whole city, the car turned to Michurinsky Prospekt, approximately opposite the Lithuania cinema from behind ice, the actor failed to control, the car entered, and it crashed into a pillar .

From the blow, the artist received a heavy traumatic brain injury and a stupid abdominal injury. Andrei Kuznetsov escaped only a concussion. He caught a passing car and drove Nikolai Karachentsov to the nearest hospital, where he immediately made a trepanation of the skull.

In the 31st hospital, the actor was immediately put on the operating table. Karachentsov in an accident was seriously injured: a fracture of the bones of the arch of the skull, traumatic brain injury, internal cranial hematoma, dull abdominal injury. There is no neurosurgical department in the 31st hospital, so neurosurgeons from the Botkin Hospital were attracted for surgery. At night, Karachentsov, after scanning of the brain, was performed an operation. She took place under the leadership of the chief neurosurgeon of Moscow Vladimir Krylov.

In the morning, the consultation of doctors decided to transport Karachentsov to the Sklifosovsky Institute of Emergency. At half past three, Karachentsov was transported to the neurosurgical department of Sklif. There he had a second operation.
