My uncle has been in the hospital since January recovering from Covid. He was put on the ventilator on 100 percent oxygen and now they inserted a tracheostomy. After he was conscious from recovering from Covid 19 he was immediately transferred to another medical center for ucler surgery. The hospital gave him a blood transfusion but soon after he had a cardiac arrest .Apperantly he was choking on his own blood. Currently he is sedated and now were being told he has a bacteria called Acinetobacter Baumannii and that the medical staff is trying different antibiotics and so far Cefiderocol is the only antibiotic that has showed a slight improvement. The doctor recommend we stop treatment since he says the wound is slowly healing and says Cefiderocol is the last resort.
I had the opportunity to visit him two days ago and he was able to respond by blinking his eyes and was moving his hand.
Does anyone have any advice?
Should we ask the doctor about Iron Chelation therapy?
Should we transfer him to a different recovery center to see a different doctor?
I'm new to the forum and slowly have been reading up advice this fourm has to offer.
