ICU patient recovery
My patient has blood clot in her brain which has affected her body's left side, pulmonary edema, third stage MR, bp of 100 and is on ventilator.
The hospital has been trying to increase the BP and do dialysis to remove the fluid in lungs but to no avail,
Should we change the hospital and move to a top tier hospital or wait for the patient to recover.

You should move the patient if possible under doctor guidance n ventilator supported ambulance to some other hospital because body swelling n increase creatinine levels can b controlled by dialysis but pulmonary Eden’s is due to cardiac disorder. Please consult a good cardiologist n if he or she suggests then shift ur patient
