Because the cardiac arrest progressed for a long time, an artificial heart-lung machine was used.
There was little chance of survival, but
The patient was young and came to the hospital where he was working, telling him that he really wanted to save his life.
I was admitted directly from the emergency room to the intensive care unit.
On the first day, multiple organ failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation occurred, which was a major hardship.
I was able to come off the ventilator 10 days after being admitted to the intensive care unit.
Discharged after 28 days
Although Mr. Kim was discharged in good health, he has difficulty walking due to eating disorders, decreased muscle strength, and skin damage.
Return to school is undecided
