Yeah, I’ve been looking into it. Apparently anesthesia is a common part of ventilation. Sounds like pulmonary arrest. Prognosis would seem to be not to expect too much. Just basing that on the lack of info coming out.
9 minutes of CPR is a long time.
Brain damage can occur as soon as 4 minutes.
Which is why we continue to pray.
I was a critical care nurse for years. Patients are routinely sedated when on a ventilator, because the endotracheal tube (ET tube) which goes through your mouth to the lungs is terribly uncomfortable and conscious unrestrained patients would pull it out. The fact that the ventilator was 100% and is now down to 50% is progress. Patients are weaned off the ventilator that way. I don’t know what’s going on with this particular young man, but thought I’d share what I know about ventilator use.
