Hi, one of my family members just suffered a massive heart attack for a while ago, oxygen didnt go to his brain for 30 mins and they received  wave(heart) when he got near the hospital. Yet he cant breathe on his own. He is on life support now and the doctors say they must monitor him for 48 hrs. He still cant breathe and there are no signals. tHE Doctors also say he had diabetes and didnt know about it. His kidneys dont work, and his liver doesnt work.Blood isnt circulating through his body. Is there any options or any cases like that? His 48 hrs will be over in 2 -3 hours.Will he survive?Will there be damage?
Sir or Madam actually your patient had heart attack, and it is seen in heart attack that if heart stops for more than 10 mins and there is no cardiac massage given brain injury chances are very high. Doctors if revived the patient cant assure you about the complete recovery. Patient mortality is very high in such scenario. If patient heart is beating and pt on ventilator nonresponsive only wait and watch policy is there. There is no alternative.
