I after 21 day coma came out with icu psychosis and delirium..i saw the nurse in my coma dreams torturing me ..i woke up he was in the room looked me in the eyes and told me he was going to drop me out of lifeflight to my death..i sat there 12 hours awaiting to be killed..it took my loved ones a long time to convince me it wasnt real

Can I run if I have a Tracheostomy

Quality of life is very subjective. But families and patients should also understand that there is a BURDEN of treatment, when we are living but dependent on machines and other people for ongoing care--to feed us, to clean us, to move us. I do believe that life is sacred. But is it natural to prolong our life beyond natural limits with such extreme technology and machines? I also worry about the financial, emotional impact on my son, having to care for me when I am so debilitated. I worry about my dignity. I want a full life, but to let go gracefully when God calls me, and not use machines to go against God

HI Patrick. Thanks for providing helpful advice, what a good idea. very helpful information for Families of ICU patients.

Recently spent 11 days in ICU and 6 days in an induced coma (acute pancreatitis caused by alcohol abuse).. I was on a ventilator, being given propofol, remfentanil and dexmedetomidine.. WILD experience.. Delirium is no joke, and I’ve got days worth of hallucinations that seem real to me.. Before going to ICU I was already being given strong stuff, I was on fentanyl using a PCA (loved it), and detox medication and who knows what else.. In total I spent 17 days in hospital, have almost zero memory of about 15 of those days, just a bunch of craziness in my head that I’ve been going over again and again with my partner to figure out what was real and what wasn’t.. Even knowing hallucinations were actually hallucinations doesn’t change the realness of them in my brain and considering almost all of them were bad I don’t think I’ll ever truly get over it.. I’ve been out of hospital for 4 and a half weeks now (alcohol free, will never drink again) and still think about what I thought, heard and saw all the time.. I don’t think anyone can truly understand how traumatic it is unless they’ve been through it.

My mom was on an induce coma after her second cardiac arrest she had a heart pump too and passed on the 3 day. She never woke up after they cut off her sleeping meds.

My wife is currently in icu Wednesday last week she had a major seizure, which caused swelling of the brain, she is currently on a ventilator in Liverpool icu on Wednesday 6 days ago they put her in a induced coma she has started coming back she attempts to rip off her ventilator responds to pain opens eyes on command, upon sedation wearing off, her lungs are clear I have asked 30 times so far has her brain stem been damaged does she have brain damage each time they say no, yesterday she squeezed my hand on command and I can see she is still there and alive I would say she has a GCS of 7 at least, despite this the nurse on duty and some intern doctor are only giving her GCS OF 3-6 I will reach out to your company ASAP

I am from Indianapolis USA

Hi

How do I reach out to

I have had multiple general anaesthesics. Times I used propofol without midazolam, woke up normally with minimal grogginess. When given midazolam twice, only a small single dosage, it took me hours to shake off the tiredness. I dare to think how if someone is being continually dosed with midazolam, or any benzo for some length of time they can do anything.

My son is on the ventilator and has a trach in for the past 6 months and we're trying to Wing him off this ventilator and on oxygen but it's not working

I've now wasted 4 minutes and still don't know what you're tallking about. What is an LTAC?

Thank you !

My 52 year old niece is in ICU and they wanted to take her off the ventilator this morning but could not because she was too agitated so they made her go to sleep again and said they would try again tomorrow morning. My niece suffered from a fall and broke her clavicle, some ribs and her ankle and was in a lot of pain. My niece also is suffering from alcoholic dementia. I'm worried that she will die tomorrow because the doctor told me he talked with her curator and they said to not re-intubate her if she is agitated again for a second time tomorrow. There is nothing I can do to change their minds, they say she is not competent enough to make the decision but when I asked her this morning if she wanted to live she said yes with her head. Yesterday she wrote me a note asking to have a tv to watch because she had nothing to do. This does not sound like a person tht is not competent. I'm very worried she will die tomorrow.

Currently mu uncle facing same issue had a open heart surgery since 4 days no movement seen brain nerve is damaged he is on ventilator so now what to do plz help.

2:05 My husband was murdered by the ICU after the ER was able to restart his heart. I totally understand what u mean dume &glum unit. The first couple of days the staff was alrea d y pushing me t o start "end of Life care" i would see hi m start tearing but I cu staff stated its not a purposeful tearing. Everthing my husband d I d, they would rr 😅o ll their eyes and s t ate "nòt purposeful " . I asked to speak with the Brain specia l ist who read the M RI L, B UT TOLD HE'S WAY TOO BUSY,, "I DOUBT YO U GET TIME WITH HIM" MY 57 Y/O HUSBAND WAS Having "seizureactivitues" but when the b.tube was removed even prior, he never shook!! When tube withdrawn he was calling o ut t o me, "m ama, mana, mama!!" repeatedly, thats what he called me!! Then they e ut h anused him, murdered him!! Staff knew my wishes and just went on their way with end of life care!! I cannot sleep now, and suffering from terrible guilt!! I wish i could fou n d you earlier, definitely was pushed to make a decion now!! Thank you for all you do! ❤️ i managed to keep in ICU on b.tube × 3 weeks, that took alot of work!! I was they could trac.&peg.no other option!!

Years ago I arrived at the hospital at a .53 BAC. I had to be put in a coma for 3 weeks. That time in a coma my muscles atrophied and I spent almost a year in a nursing facility. I spent a few weeks on a bi pap before I could breathe on my own. I was as helpless as a newborn. I was never full of such piss and vinegar to get back on my feet. I was told probably 2 years or more. I was up and about in 11 months. I kept getting admonished for pushing too far too fast. It took having a fall where I broke my arm and ribs to get me to slow down. Never take independence for granted

Hey Dear, you are making very good videos, your video quality is very good. Only maa your videos are not getting views because of seo, if you do seo properly your videos will get a lot of views, give me your gmail address, so that I can inform you more about this, and we can discuss.

good video .but your video is not seo so your video is not getting views ,your need video (95+ seo score) If you SEO your video properly then your video will get a lot of views

Yes

This is exactly what happened to my mom after her bypass surgery

Yes!! I was told my 57y/o husband was "90%" so wouldn't have to get 2 brain secials to declare B.D. in fact when i was asked to review the MRI, the lung secialist, who was my husbands assigned Dr., stated he did not read i, the bra I n dr. read it,

Your videos are a real blessing. Thanks so much for taking the time to make and share.

well said Patrik , my brother is intensive care after a heart attack and he has opened his eyes after a week and has done so every day since , blinking and staring into your eyes , they said oh he's not really awake they keep changing the goalposts ,after watching your video's we are aware of their agenda and it is now so obvious how they enter the room at the family meetings all doom and gloom even after we have had a breakthough and attempt to pull the rug out from under all of us and grind our positivity away .As we see it he has an upward tragectory and has improved every day since the incident .After your video's we have become a united front of positive energy and refuse to let them take the power back they displayed in the first family meeting which I walked out of .

Make sure that the facility pays attention to the patients diaphragm as well. My wife was kept in the bed bent at the diaphragm for 2 months, despite my constant protest. Now she has to build her diaphragm back up (which isn't being treated as a priority). She can breathe on her own but can't fully raise her chest and fill her lungs so she needs to positive airway pressure.

Thank you so much. I had so many questions dealing with this situation right now with my mom. This was very helpful.

I have analyzed your KZbin channel, I have watched all your videos, your channel has great quality content, but still it is not serving the right audience due to SEO issues.

I really need your help but I live in Mississippi

beautiful, practical, realistic reasons for hope--very good response to the woman's heart-felt question

I was diagnosed with ARDS andCovid pneumoniain 2021 and spent almost 5 months on ECMO as well as a ventilator and dialysis machine and was given a 3% chance of living. It saved my life but left me disabled.

Last month on 21 March I lost my elder brother who was just 43 years old to sepsis. I prey to God for his recovery 🙏

Mom was intentionally and adversely prescribed Fentanyl for Iatrgenic induced secretion from misused Personal Injuries. vs. actrorpine under false pretense and coverups, and end her life. Iatrogenic's violent induced secretions

Mom suffered Iatrogenic Malfeasance Personal Injuries induced secretion as one of 4 methods to induced Personal Injuries.

I was in an induced coma in May and June 2023 for 13 days to try to help with the septic shock from it turned out to be MRSA-pneumonia that got me last year and it’s because I was on a very powerful immunosuppressant medication for rheumatoid arthritis called Xeljanz 11mg, I’m very, very lucky to be able, the doctors and nurses who finally saw me awake had to stop in and say hi because they really didn’t think I was going to make it. They had to use 3 different pressors at the same time because my normally low blood pressure of 90/60 doesn’t help in the matter and I of course developed dry gangrene, I’ve only lost 2 toes and half my left thumb pad and I consider that a very small price to pay for keeping my life. Thanks for helping people doctor, you are very appreciated 🙏🏽

Your information and opinions in this video are inaccurate. If you’re going to speak about BCV, you should properly educate people, as it is not outdated. It is used with many more patients other than ALS. I have real, first-hand experience. It can be an alternative to a tracheostomy in some cases. It indeed actively ventilates a patient. In fact, it has a control mode with an active expiratory phase. This in turn equals full external ventilation on the chest wall, moving air in and out. If you provide information to patients about BCV, I would suggest your information be accurate, as the contents of this video are misleading.

My husband suffered a choking incident which led to a cardiac arrest two years in June. He was on a vent. Went through the whole cooling procedure they could not lower the meds for him to wake up because he was having "seizures." The doctor in the ICU basically told me the same thing you said. If he wakes up he may not know who you are and the quality of life may not be good. We ended up transfering him to another hospital that had a continuos EEG because they did not offer that where he was. He was transported put on a continuos EEG. No seizure activity found. They took him off the vent and put in a trach. Started lowering the meds for him to wake up unfortunely everytime they started lowering the meds he would start have severe myloclonus jerks. After messing around with meds they were able to get the myloclonus jerks under control and were able to take him off the meds for him to start waking up. After a few days of him being off of those meds he was not waking up. I would be there every day playing music for him. When I would play certain songs that meant something to us, he would start crying. I told the doctors about this and they told me it was not intentional it was part of the pysudo bulba reaction. I refused to beleive this. When I played songs that meant absolutly nothing there would be no reaction. Then it was meeting time. They pulled me into a room and basically told me that he's not waking up and I should start thinking of how we are going to move forward. Samething if he wakes up his quality of life may not be good. Again I refused to beleive this. I asked the doctors are his kidneys good? Is his heart good? They said oh yes all of his organs are good. I then said good we can continue to wait!!!! I will not give up on him. Fast foward almost two years of continuing to tell doctors my husband is in there and them refusing to beleive me. He is now in a facility still has the trach but he is awake. Completely aware of everything that is being said to him and can respond. He will shake his head yes and no to respond. Still has all of his memories. I'm so glad I did not let the doctors pressure me into giving up on him. If I can give any advise to someone going through this horrible experience, you know your loved one better than any of they doctors caring for them. They can have their medical opinion but you know that person. Never give up hope!!!

Would you be able to look at my husband's MRI? He has been in a coma for 61 days after a fall off a roof, broken & now fused C1 & C2 & stopped breathing as soon as he fell, I have 4 page MRI

My mom had all the odds against her. She had severe copd and emphysema, uncontrolled diabetes, undiagnosed sleep apnea, history of heart disease as a child, and then got Covid when the delta variant was out, July 2021. All She had a was runny nose and watery eyes for the first 2 days, got tested just to make sure she didn't have Covid (she had only left the house 2x in 2 years and was working from home due to her being high risk). She ended up going in to acute respiratory distress syndrome and my dad called 911. She was taken to the ER 2 minutes away from her house (one of the best hospitals) where she went into cardiac arrest (I'm assuming due to pulmonary hypertension and her severe double covid pnuemonia she was very hypoxic and hypercapnic). The Dr tried to tell us she wouldn't make it. Even stating that even if they got her heart beat back she would not recover, that she was just too sick. She was maxed out on vasopressors and I believe even on ECMO at some point. She was intubated as well. Two days later she was weaned off. Due to some other hospital related issues she had a longer stay but long story short- she made it and is still here today. She is now in ICU again after being in LTAC and being neglected, she's recovering again. Hopefully she pulls through and all goes good this time around.

I was in a coma almost 8 years ago. I was in an abusive relationship, and one day I was present in that mess, the next day I was waking up in a hospital bed. Only the bed was not mine, and I was in a very foreign place. I had just woken up after six weeks of being in a coma. I had septic shock to the most extreme degree (I am familiar with the stages of sepsis) which means I was dying. I was on a ventilator with a tricky ostomy. My organ said all shut down, and I had been asleep for 87 days. This is so informative to me. I am subscribing to you right now. Thank you.

Patrick if it doesn’t say on his death that he had payed away an on his death certificate It does not saying anything. Is it an overdose

What can doctors do to help save a person's life after multi organ failure?
