My mother who is 83 fell 6 ddays ago an had to have surgery to drain the blood that had collected from a acute hematoma. Today she had to have surgery for a recurrence of the sam e thing. She was on a ventilator an was taken off an now is back on. She has also not swallowing. What s the outlook in your opinion?
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorDuring the ventilator the patient being incubated with endotracheal tube, this might some time causes the trauma to the larynx area which disturbs the swallowing action, and so why patient unable to swallow, but this will come around, have nice day.
