Patient's question:
My grandfather has severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is always irritable. It's said he has pulmonary encephalopathy. Hello, can pulmonary encephalopathy reappear in a vegetative state?Doctor's answer:
If there is pulmonary encephalopathy, it is possible to re-enter a vegetative state. In such cases, it is recommended to promptly provide symptomatic treatment. If there is difficulty breathing, a tracheal tube can also be used for treatment. During the treatment period, neurotrophic drugs can also be used. The chances of a complete recovery are relatively poor. It is important to closely monitor vital signs. Wishing you good health.
