Vizag hospital successfully saves patient suffering from Fulminant Guillain-Barré syndrome – ET HealthWorld
Visakhapatnam: In a rarest case of disorder considering its severity and the extreme manifestation unleashed by it, a patient suffering from Fulminant Guillain-Barré syndrome was saved by a hospital in Visakhapatnam.
Manikeswar Prasad (48), who was struck with misfortune in the form of a fulminant Guillain barre syndrome, was saved by doctors and now he is close to the discharge date after 68 days of stay in ICU. In more than 98 per cent of this syndrome cases, even doctors would also lose hope in treatment.
The patient was brought to a hospital in the city with GB Syndrome quadriplegia, respiratory paralysis including facial paralysis.
The patient could not move any part of his body except his eyes. His eyes have to speak more than see as they were his only mode of communication.
There was no iota of improvement in the patient rather the disease has challenged the spirit of the doctors.
The Neurologist Rajkumar Ponnana and critical care in charge Rajasekhar said that the patient had developed the most severe form of dysautonomia to the extent of causing dysautonomia even during nebulization which has precluded the ongoing treatment on several occasions. To date, there was no evidence of such an episode of nebulization-induced dysautonomia in any patient.
Adding insult to the injury patient had developed florid bronchial secretions leading to acute hypoxia due to lung collapse on multiple occasions which necessitated emergency bronchoscopy to mitigate the same.
However, he is breathing spontaneously after 68 days of stay in the ICU. Doctor Raj Kumar and Rajasekhar planned the timely interventions along with Dr Sateesh Chandra Alavala during emergency situations of massive mucus plugging and lung collapse not on one occasion but on multiple occasions.
