Hi my father got drowned in swimming pool. His MRI findings are suggestive of diffuse hypoxic- ischaemic encephalopathy. All other organs are working fine . Now he is on his own oxygen. There is eye opening , sometimes little bit head movement. Doctor here say he is in semi conscious state. We believe he sometime understands whatever we say as he responds by blinking his eyes. The incident happened on 26th April 2013. Please help to suggest is there any treatment worldwide??
