My father had a fever for some days after coming off ecmo. We were told it's a common reaction after ecmo is disconnected.
My father was onVV ECMO for lungs , he was suspected with H1N1. 5 days before removing EcMO, his tracheostomy had done. He was responding to us before in a normal way, though obvious not able to talk but now he is not responding to us now, he is in a conscious state but feel very restless. Doctors are saying it happens bcoz he is so weak from inside that he don't want to talk to anyone otherwise there is no reason apart from dat. Is it so??
