My father got a surgery in cervical c5c6c7 And he is ventilated since one month The problem is if the ventilator mode is low than blood pressure is also going low. He is not getting any improvement since one month . Plz help me how can we improve his health.
Where is his family?? Wife and kids?? That's a very sad future. Living with machines. Very smooth video with too much crap, as if health is the only thing we should be thinking about. Humans are essentially self repair systems. Anyway this is business. All's good if profit is good. By the way, no matter who you are and how advanced your technology becomes. When your time's up. It is the end.
AGH has been kidnapping (then killing, via organ$ harvesting), viable (if not healthy) patients (with ventilators), since 1963 (just like UPMC, their mentor)...
what about COVID patients? My aunt has been on a ventilator for almost two weeks. They wanted to take her off yesterday, but her heart starting racing too much. So what can be done in that case?
My father also on ventilator due to covid for about 2weeks to date and doctors want to perform a tracheotomy. Not sure how to feel about this horrible ordeal.
@@beauty007 so I diden't watch this yet but I searched this up to see what it looks like. I'm only 17 and going through medical issues. Basically I have no immune system right now so if I get Covid 19 I'm dead. But the schools have to open up in my state. So your saying if I would go on this machine for a while then I would have to learn how to breath again? If so.... I'm not doing it. I will take my chances with death.
Request you to please help my mom is still on ventilator since 1 month . Her heart operation been done all the reports are Normal but still she is not able to take a breathe. I just want to know when she will come out to the ventilator.
Keep faith in God hun continue praying it's a slow and scary process for our love ones but we have to stay strong for them keeping your mom in my prayers ❤
Doctor advice if it is needed to provide my mom should they we r disagree to put it.. Bcz it's look scary and I hope my mom will be alright without it inshallah
My mom was just weaned off the ventilator. Mannnn it took days..practically a week! But, she finally did it 😊 slow but steady progress. Don't lose hope peeps. It'll happen, even if it's taking longer than you would expect. They will figure out a way to get that tube out.
Lucky... my dad was on the ventilator for 2 weeks... and he died on the 27th of April this year... It's a scary thing to see them take off the ventilator and see him take his last breaths.
+Nick Vu I'm sorry for your loss. I'm going through the same thing right now with the rest of my family. Would you suggest being in the room when they take the ventilator out, now that you've had experience, or would you not be there? I have some younger members of my family that this situation would be devastating for them to see if it did happen the same way it happened to you. thanks for your help
ruinerfixxxer Personally, I would recommend staying with you loved one because even with sedation, I think they are still conscious and can hear what you are saying. As long as they're in the hospital, try to have at least 1 person with them 24/7 so they know they're being cared for. Talk to them and offer them words of encouragement. However, if you're ready to pull the plug, say positive things like how you will be okay if they go.... that way, they won't be worrisome about how their family will be after their death. In conclusion, I would say yes, stay in the room with them. Be at their side through it all. Pray for them, touch them, and talk to them. I know exactly how you feel right now and the best thing for you to do right now is to have a meaningful, 1 on 1 final conversation with them to let them know that you're gonna be okay and that if it's their time to go, that they go in peace with no regrets. If you need anymore help, please do not hesitate to contact me on youtube as I check my account daily.
tyson mccormack I was in coma when I was intubated, then I had a tracheostomy. It wasn't bad, except for the feeding tube in my nose. Dry mouth was a problem, tho. When you are on a ventilator, you can't eat or drink anything for it may go down the wrong way and you can't cough. I found the ventilator to be quite soothing with the noise it made.
tyson mccormack not pleasant. Can't drink anything. Can't close your mouth. Can't really move your head. I had multiple serious injuries so I was in an induced coma for 2 weeks and conscious, but continued on morphine and dormicum for a week before extubation. I had a broken jaw, which they couldn't set while incubated, so that was sore too. And because of all the drugs and major concussion, I was very confused, so they had to tie my hands to the bed rails so I didn't reach up and try to pull the tube myself. Then when it came time to extubate, I was expecting a little tube to pull out of my throat. Instead this 2 foot bloody hosepipe was pulled from all the way down in my chest. Worst experience of my life.
you cant even breathe right either, its like breathing open like that into a very wide straw and you it forces you to keep your mouth open like that. Then when they take it out it feel like like alien punched you in the chest and throat
I just had a knee scope done this past friday. I had a femoral nerve block performed at shadyside. I am up and moving again post block. I have had to use 0 narcotics for pain after this procedure thanks to the regional nerve block. This was a bit to deal with at first(the numbness and deadness of the leg), but for the results it brings, ill do it again in a heartbeat. It wasnt done at the VA, but I still wanted to post my comment here to let people know that this regional anesthesia procedures are really really spectacular. Good work Dr. Williams!
