The renowned chef Christian Petersen He is admitted to the intensive care unit Ramón Carrillo Hospital of San Martín de los Andes after suffering a Multi-organ failure. In an interview in LN+the cardiologist Mario Boskisa healthy longevity specialist, explained that it is an extremely serious condition.
“Multiorgan failure is not a disease in itself, but rather the body’s response to catastrophic organ failure.”he noted, warning that the process could move quickly.
As Boskis described, the problem begins when an organ and the body stop functioning cannot compensate for this damage. “There is circulatory damage, an inflammatory reaction; the body becomes inflamed and there is an explosion of released chemicals.”Exactly. From there the deterioration continues: “It starts to fail organ by organ, it’s like a domino.”.
The specialist made it clear how serious the disease was: “Multiorgan failure is a serious disease”he explained, emphasizing that the patient “Needs ongoing intensive care support”with multiple devices and treatments to maintain vital functions.
Boskis explained that this is the crux of the problem Circulation. When the heart can no longer compensate, Blood does not reach the organs properlywhat creates Hypoxiai.e. lack of oxygen in the tissue. “The heart, the kidneys, the liver, the brain are failing”he listed. This poor irrigation causes progressive and simultaneous damage to various systems.
In this context he illustrated the trip to Lanín that Petersen undertook at the time of his decompensation. While climbing a mountain he claimed: reduces air pressure and available oxygenresulting in symptoms that can escalate if timely action is not taken.
“The first symptom is a headache, then nausea, vomiting and, further up, confusion or drowsiness.”he described in relation to the showing.
The cardiologist emphasized this There is no accurate way to predict who will react badly. before climbing a mountain. “It can happen to anyone; the only predictive factor is whether it has already happened to you.”he explained.
He hinted at that over 2500 meters Even healthy people can experience symptoms, and he recalled a personal experience: “I tried to climb Lanín with a group of cardiologists, everyone was checked, and still we didn’t know if anyone could react badly.”.
Added to this is physical exertion, which increases the need for oxygen and can accelerate deterioration.
Boskis emphasized that once the condition is diagnosed, treatment is complex and constant. “The patient with multi-organ failure enters a condition that requires mechanical respiratory support, medications to maintain blood pressure, medications to stimulate the heart to pump, and dialysis to filter the kidney.”said. That’s why he insisted: “They are very serious paintings”which require continuous monitoring in the intensive care unit.
Petersen reportedly suffered decompensation that resulted in multiple organ failure showed a favorable development in your health condition and was extubated in the last few hours.
Finally, the specialist emphasized the need Listen to your body when climbing a mountain and the importance of paying attention to those around you.
“A very important sign is confusion”he warned. When a person starts behaving strangely, the sign is clear: “You have to descend. The only treatment is to descend as low as possible as quickly as possible.”.
Another cardiologist who continued to expand LN+ about the state of health of Christian Petersen Norberto Debagg. According to his clinical conception, “when you climb a mountain, there must be gradation and air conditioning.” Somewhere in geography I have to stay still: compensate“.
On the other hand, He emphasized the importance of aerobic and muscle training. “You can’t just climb a peak of these qualities. Something like this requires at least four months of preparation.“, explained Debagg.

Leaving aside the peculiarities of the case, the episode that led to the downfall of the Chef Christian Petersen of the Lanín volcano (3776 m.a.s.l.), in Neuquenafter suffering “multi-organ failure,” focused on the demands of hiking to the top of that mountain and the vicissitudes of the climb.
The traditional route of advancement Lanin volcano (via the Northern Route) begins in the Río Turbio section, near the Tromen Information Center, in the central area of the Lanín National Park, about 70 km from Junín de los Andes. This is the most used route and the one with the most traffic at this time of year. To start, you’ll cross a Lenga forest on a well-marked trail that ends at the foot of the volcano. From there, climbers must follow the poles that lead to the start of the route called “Herringbone.”
