hello doctor , I m chetan from dahod(gujarat), my question is: the patient is 73 years old, he has diabetes , high blood pressure ,lungs are not working well because of smoking , so he is in I.C.C.U. room on oxygen. he can t utter words properly. he has paralysis in his right hand. what to do please suggest.quickely.
Hello Cretan, i would advise you to continue treating him in the ICU till he is able to breath adequately on his own.to assess the future nature of his disease his present condition must be stabilized. His paralysis is permanent however can be helped with physiotherapy and rehabilitative care. Please follow the orders of the ICU doctor. And in case of future doubts contact us back at Chat Doctor .take care
