What is the reason for a low heart rate after a head injury?
Hi doctor,
This query is with regard to one of my friends. He got an accident five months back. He was hospitalized in ICU. Blood came from his ear and so had a computed tomography (CT) scan done. An ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor said that his ear is fine and no hearing problem. Later he was shifted to his native. He was in intensive care unit (ICU) there. His oxygen level is up to 97% and heart beat 50 bpm. He is in conscious state of mind and understands everything. He recognized everyone. Also all kind of bleeding has stopped. He is with saline and local antibiotics only. A neurosurgeon advised for an operation now. So, I need a second opinion here. Thanks in advance.
