It's time we took this thread off this forum..My email address is [email protected] if you want to continue this exchange. I think I may be able to help you.

That's if the pts are assessed. I know of cases where pts were kept on propofol > than 48 hours with no assessment. One was over 72 hours..

Well, the doctors at this facility would not give up on my dad, because they knew that I knew that it was the propofol that caused the problems and they didn't want a huge suit. My daughter is a corporate attorney and is quite good at presenting these types of cases.. That may have had something to do with why they tried so hard. Did they at least do an EEG on your son? How did they evaulate that he had no brain function? If they did not do a proper evaulation, that would be a huge no no.. Do you have an attorney?

Sorry to hear that John. My dad eventually woke up after more than two weeks of being on intense support. He is now recovering in a nursing facility. We have not told him about his ordeal yet. He is missing an entire month and does not understand what happened.. Have you taken any legal action with respect to astra zenica or the facility?

Hi, my father was recently involved with Propofol infusion syndrome and so were two other paitents in the same ICU. He was given propofol for over 72 hours and was not evaulated during that time. He had all of the classic symptoms, ie: did not wake up after the drug was discontinued, liver, kiidney and heart failure, green urine, basically in a coma..The "specialists" ran dozens of tests, brain cat scans, eeg's, etc., but the "specialists" said that they could not explain why he was not waking up. That's when I started doing research myself and found bulletins on pis on the FDA and NIH websites. I printed out the bulletins and presented a copy to each of the "specialists"..I wish I had a picture of the look on their faces after they read the first two paragraphs of the NIH bulletin..Improper use of this drug must be stopped now!
