If you are shot point blank up close with a 270 in the gut, artery severed and holes in colon , intestines, kidneys, uretheas and bladder reduced, is there much chance of survival? He has lost he right leg. Been in Drug induced coma for a week, we are waiting for him to wake up....how long should it take for him to wake and/or what are his survival rate vitals are good
You must keep your hopes alive as long as vitals are ok, and even beyond that if no major organ system is irreversibly damaged but, actual prognosis can only be given by the team treating your patient after considering all clinical and laboratory data.
