Waking up after ECMO
Please can anyone help with advice. A member of my family has come off ECMO following treatment for Sepsis. It seems to be taking a long time to wake up but I understand patients are heavily sedated and paralysed and treated with opiates for pain relief. His kidneys are not working so I understand that

A little update on Lucy
Thanks to those of you who messaged me asking how Lucy’s surgery went. In short, it was awful. She suffered a cardiac arrest the day after her surgery as the stress was too much for her little heart and the incredible team at the Royal Brompton Hospital performed CPR on her for 40 minutes, and then managed

The strongest woman I know, my wife Ally, has gone from being on ECMO, in a coma to breathing on her own and out of ICU in 21 days. WOW!!!
Hi Everyone, A summary of how we got here. Feb. 26, Ally was battling pneumonia, as she does 2 - 4 times each year. Usually, a prednisone prescription will work in 3 - 5 days. Not this time. Nothing the doctors tried would get rid of the pneumonia. The last thing left to try was ECMO,

ICU with pneumothorax
Hello My sister was admitted to the ICU 28 days ago with pneumonia and later pneumothorax. She is still on a ventilator and also ECMO machine. I am so sad that there isn't a day without tears. She is overseas and I have not seen her yet. I am afraid of seeing her in that position. Doctors are doing all

Great Site.
This is a great site, and the people are so helpful and respectful to each other. In this day of armchair warriors, where people berate other people its refreshing. I am wondering does anyone know of a good site for car accident victims? Or if anyone has a site for ex service men who have come back from

GP giving cheap replacement drugs - a moan !!!
However, one of the meds called
Eczmol
which is a soap substitute and I use a lot of this. I decided to go and ask in various chemists how much they sell for. So last week whilst in Asda I decided to visit their pharmacy and enquire re. The cost.

ICU acquired weakness, pancreatitis nightmare
Hi, I'm new here. Found this site while looking for information about ICUAW. All I've been able to find is written in technical medical jargon, which I can't make sense of. I'll start from the beginning, and try not to go on for too long... Back in November, my 44 year old brother went in for emergency
