And this is the key part for this patient. Renal failure is the key, while it is improving.
Although half of the lung is still set in water as said by Dr. Jeremiah W. Eagen, it is not something the current medical technology can't solve.
if it is true evidenced X ray, there are some techniques to solve these problems. Although the chest X Ray has beens done, why there is no diagnosis written by X Ray department. And even the doctor in charge by weekend did not know the lung problems.
It seems to me the treatment plan got no one in charge, and the treatment plan has not been consistent. Who is the team head? Is this an American hospital?
What the doctor Eagen said means, it could be the lung is setting in a lot of pleural fluid, or it is still lung edema. Either of them is treatable.
If the X Ray shows the lung is setting in a lot of pleural fluid, a needle puncture into chest with vacuum pressure would do it. If it is still like before, the lung still got a lot of edema, the dialysis could do it. It looks a bad news, while it give the patient a lot of room to imrpove and become better soon. So, I am not in worry because they are treatable.
May we hope the doctors to get together and discuss the case and make a consistent plan?
If it is still the lung problem, it will be solved next week. Also, the patient will get blood transfusion soon which will help too.
As long as the kidney is doing well, the patient would be fine. It seems to me Dr. Eagen is a good doctor.
