Rosario Boy, 4, Stable in ICU After Third-Floor Fall as Doctors Opt for Observation

Doctors report he is awake with multiple injuries under intensive monitoring.

Overview

  • The child fell Monday afternoon from a third-floor window at Solís and Navarro in Rosario’s Ludueña neighborhood, landing in an interior patio about 12 meters below.
  • Hospital Vilela’s vicedirector said he is lucid, hemodynamically stable and not on mechanical ventilation, with head, thoracic and abdominal trauma and a fractured hip.
  • Clinicians say the injuries do not currently require surgery and will be managed with close observation in pediatric intensive care.
  • Emergency service SIES treated the boy at the scene and transported him urgently to Hospital de Niños Víctor J. Vilela.
  • Family accounts say he had been in his room with a cellphone and that the dirt-and-grass surface in the patio likely cushioned the impact, as authorities continue investigating how the fall occurred.
