Elisa Beristain Remains in ICU After On-Air Emergency as Family Cites Possible Intestinal Perforation

Doctors are working to stabilize her to control a severe infection, with the exact cause still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Beristain fell ill during a Jan. 22 live BerisTIME interview, reporting dizziness, sweating and abdominal pain before heading to the hospital.
  • Program production said she was at risk of septic shock and was admitted to intensive care for continuous hemodynamic monitoring.
  • Updates from Jan. 26–27 described her as stable yet in danger, with blood pressure under constant watch, and showed images of her on oxygen and IV support.
  • Her brother reported on Jan. 28–29 that she is sedated intermittently, continues with severe pain and elevated white blood cell counts, and has not yet received a definitive treatment plan.
  • The family attributes the crisis to a possible intestinal perforation leading to infection, a claim that has not been publicly confirmed by treating clinicians.
