How long will ventilator use be required while administering white blood platelets?
Patient: my daughter is given white blood platelets but she is having breathing broblemso she is kept on ventilatormeans oxigen how long she will have to beath like that and her weakness is very much in blood transfusion. mydaughter's age is 33height5feet 2 inches and having thoriroid and was ill due to Dengue fever. Doctor: Welcome to H.C.M.I am Dr Krishna Dubey.In dengue fever ,patient recovery depends on his/ her body immune mechanism to fight with virus. Ventilator is for support to maintain oxygen saturation.when she itself start maintaing her oxygen saturation then your doctor will remove ventilator.Removal of ventilator completely depend on patient status, not on time period.When her platelets count itself start increasing at least in 2-3 consecutive repeat of platelets count test then it is very good news for you.Hope for her well being.All the very best.Thanx for query.
