Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I would like to be frank and outspoken.
To make a long story short, I would like to say that your patient condition is very critical .The prognosis of such a condition is usually determined by
1) duration of hypoglycemia
2) time elapsed between loss of pulse to return of spontaneous circulation in emergency department
3) degree of hypoxic injury suffered
At present I do understand that she is in severe sepsis and her kidney function is deteriorating. Anticipated duration of mechanical ventilation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty via online. I suggest you to discuss with treating physician regarding signs of brain death and futility of treatment after 72 hours of ICU admission , Till then it is advisable you to continue full support and withdraw it after 72 hours if there is any signs of brain death. Hope I cleared your doubt.
Feel free to revert any time,
Regards
Dr. Jacob George
