hi
My father is ventilated 1 week now.At that time he had cardiac arreset 3 times.His sedation removed 3 days ago.But he had no response they took CT scan its result is normal.but dialysis is going on ....we are afraid of that he did n't wake up.... how long did it take for your loved ones wake up? please give replay
Hello
My husband took 2 weeks to wake up and another to become alert and respond. He was on the ventilator for 4 weeks
It took almost 3 weeks for my mom to show signs of conciousness.
She was also on dialysis which make things even slower. Don't worry he will wake up soon. Just need to take his time.
i was scared because dialysis continue.i hope he wake p soon inshaallah please pray for him
Yes my mom did a lot of dialysis. Covid affects your kidneys. She doesn't need it anymore. She's fine.
His creatinine level is 450 its controlable or not?
My mom had high levels of urea and creatinine. She's fine now.
Today 20 th day in ventilator.covid 19 effects his kidneys.The doctor said they can see only mild changes.that is iam scared.
My father was awake the next day after sedation was stopped but took him 20 days to become alert. Be patient he will snap out of it soon!
After a 57 day coma - I took 11 days to be responsive
he did n't respond still now and did not have any movements thats y iam scared
Dialysis means his kidneys aren’t working. His system will be full of sedatives - normally the kidneys take toxins out of blood., sedatives for instances Your father will take longer to wake up. I hope you get good news.
Understandable you are very frightened, many of us have been where you are now . He is in the best place looking after by a team of experts. It's really common for them to be more alert at a later date . He is also on dialysis , Sepsur is an expert with his vast knowledge in this area, but when they are on dialysis it takes a lot longer . Please try not to worry, my husband took weeks .
Definitely not expert @Ferham 🤣🤣🤣 - but like everyone here - we’ve learnt about critical care the hard way.
Today is 3rd day of the sedation removed still he hasn’t woken up and he was like plain unresponsive ..😔😢
For some of us it took weeks to become responsive. 3 days is a very short time for some
Today they did MRI ,they found minor injuries in brain so he didn't any response.Any hope or not?
While your father is alive there is hope - that is the raw truth I am afraid. Many of us have tittered on the edge of life and come back to the world.
thanks
GOD IS GREAT! Now his eyes are open.I revealed this great news here....thank u so much for ur support
Fantastic - I’m very pleased to know this - please let us know how you get on.
Yesterday, he was shifted in to ICU.Now a days he has not any changes.the doctor said the brain has little scratches after cardiac arrest .So that iam worried about this.How many days will be taken for changes?
Everyone is different my friend, how long will it take for one can be very different for another person, so it would be misleading of me to offer timescales. What I probably can assure you of is that it will be longer than you wish for so just hang in there. In ICU, your father is in the best hands.
As per all the above advice, it does take a while and no patient is the same. Wishing you the very best
Today they did MRI .
So how long exactly did it take him to wake up my dad is having a lot of the same issues on dialysis has been off the sedation for 18 hours and still not response he’s on 100 percent oxygen and has blood in his stool
There are so many variables @Roni1983. If your Dad is on dialysis or has renal issues, the sedatives used to put your Dad into a coma, will take longer to leave the system and slow down responsiveness. Your Dad May have a higher or lower tolerance to sedative than another, it will depend on the depth of sedation and the type of drug used too. A person needing to be proned, for instance, needs to be put into a deeper comatose state to help patient synchronise with ventilator. All these factors will slow down your Dad’s ability to wake up.
After a 57 day coma, 7 weeks of dialysis, a few sessions of being proned - it took me 11 days to wake.
Thank you so much u gave me so much hope the doctor told me today that he’s on a lot of bloood pressure meds so it might cause him to go into cardiac arrest but as always I keep my faith and reading y’all comments really make me feel Better and give me hope to not give up he’s only been in a coma for a week and 3 days today
Waking up from deep sedatives in ICU.
Waking up from sedation
Dad in CVICU and not waking up completely from sedation.
