Presistent vegetative
|
|
A person at Presistent vegetative state at any third world country faces a lot of difficulties.Lake of knoweldge,shortage of sources and attitude of medical personals and society are the basic problems.I am not a doctor nor a medical professional but only a care giver,father of a head injury/traumatic brain injury Pakistani patient Jawad Pasha. I just want to tell a few basic things which i knew due to my four year experience. Issues The first problem we face at our areas that after a brain injury we are naturely refered to a neurosurgeon and he remains consultant for the years but actually after comming out of coma the patient deserves to be refered to a neuro physition or some one of rehab medicine but it never happens.(money making is the reason).Treatment is very expencive and doctors insist for western style care and feed but often that is not affordable by the majority.I can tell evrybody that tratment mostly depends on care and attachment by the family and friends. All normal feeds ,milk and eggs can be used for feeding by tube.fruits ,vegetables and soup can be given.Only care is this that feed should be not more nor less.Physiotherapy if not affordable the caregivers can learn the basics and do it theirslves.Only the reqirement is to try to keep patient happy and hope full.He should not be left alone.He should not restricted to a room.As soon as he become better he should be kept moving, He should be kept clean and his bath is very affective for his early reovery (which can take years).Spirtual arrangements make good effect on patients.
