Given Anesthesia. Unconscious Stage. Explain Condition
hi... my mother has admitted in an hospital for ear operation... when all things got ready for operation and anesthesia was given to her, she went into unconscious stage. we are all deeply worried about her condition. she was in that stage since 5 days.. can any one please explain her condition?? y it has happened...?? also please tell wat are the further steps to be taken??
It is very unfortunate that your mother has gone into unconscious state after anaesthesia.
The possible reasons could be hyopxia (lack of oxygen supply to brain) or hypotension (low blood pressure leading to lack of blood flow to brain). Exact reason can be ascertained if you discuss with the treating surgeon/anaesthetist.
Regarding the current condition, investigations such as brain scan and EEG may be helpful. This would also help in predicting the outcome and chances of recovery.
