Patient's question:
My mother is 53 years old and was admitted to the hospital on June 17th in the morning. The initial symptoms were trembling and a semi-comatose state. The doctor treated her with intravenous fluids until 5:55 PM when she suddenly stopped breathing. After emergency resuscitation for more than 10 minutes, her heart started beating again, but she could not breathe independently and has been in a coma ever since. Initial diagnosis from CT scans indicated brain edema, which is essentially a stroke. I am asking if there are any better treatment methods. I want to pursue every possible hope. Please, I beg all the esteemed doctors for help. Currently, her general condition: cannot breathe independently, relies on an oxygen machine. Medical history: nasal snuff cancer. Previous diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes: good. Duration of this current illness: 36 hours.Doctor's answer:
After the doctor determines whether it is brain death, the treatment will be decided.
