Myu sister has been in hospital for 12 days sedated and ventilated. The sedation was stopped 5 days ago and the ventilator (now tracheotomy) was turned off yesterday. She suffered a brain injury and has had part of her skull removed (day 2 in hospital). on day 8 she was responding well to neuro stimulation however she is no longer responding to this and is not responding to pain. Why has she not woken up and what are the changes of long term damage?
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorShe must be in coma, (Deep) she may not be responded to any stimuli either, it is not the thing like you said here the part of the skull cant be removed, I think you must be wrongly understood if this is the thing then the condition of your sister is critical you need to ask for prognosis to the medical team take care of your sister have nice day.
