Should we continue hospitalization for my mom or take her home?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen the files provided by you (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is unfortunate that your mother developedbleeding after Boehringer Knoll injection. It is documented to happen in 5 to 7 % of the patients to whom this injection is given for stroke. In such a situation, measures to stop bleeding are done and a close monitoring of neurological status is required. Some patients may require brain surgery to relieve increased pressure inside the brain. Along with that, it is required to try to find out the risk factors of stroke, so that further long term treatment can be decided. In the attached prescription, there is noblood thinner such as Ecosprin or Clopidogrel mentioned. Possibly, your doctor will start it when she is better and the bleeding risk is reduced. I suggest you talk to the treating doctor about the decision to keep her in the hospital or take her home as that decision cannot be given on the basis of a small description alone. If you take her home, you will need to arrange a few things for her nursing care and physiotherapy. You can send all her reports, so that a long-term treatment optimization can be done.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Injection Enoxaparin is most likely being given as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) prophylaxis. I feel in the future, she will require antiplatelet tablets (Ecosprin or Clopidogrel). Regarding continuation of hospitalization, I cannot decide that from the given description. You should talk to your treating doctor about it.
