Hello Doctor,
My wife had a brain surgery on 20/04/2026 due to head injury and brain bleeding/clot.
Today is the 8th postoperative day, but she is still unconscious and has not regained proper consciousness yet.
Current condition:
1. She is still not responding normally.
2. Fever is persistent.
3. Blood pressure is fluctuating (up and down).
4. Secretions/mucus are still excessive and suction requirement has not reduced.
5. She is having difficulty clearing cough/phlegm on her own.
6. Overall neurological improvement is very minimal.
We are worried because even after surgery there is no significant recovery in consciousness.
Kindly advise:
- Is this condition normal on day 8 after brain surgery?
- What could be the possible reasons for delayed consciousness?
- Does persistent fever and excessive secretions indicate chest infection or brain infection?
- Should we continue at the same hospital or shift to a higher neuro critical care center?
Please guide us urgently.
Thank you.
