Cross The province seeks medical treatment only to wake up his comatose wife

Ms. Wang, a 29-year-old from Wuxi. After the pregnancy in October, in the expectation of the family, the moment of the birth of the baby finally ushered in two months ago.

Assessed by the local hospital, a caesarean section was performed for Ms. Wang, and the baby was born smoothly. However, Ms. Wang suffered heavy bleeding during the operation and then suffered cardiac arrest. Although the patient was rescued, she fell into a coma;

After 2 months of treatment, the patient showed no signs of awakening, and the family was in a panic. After consultation, the husband learned that Huaan opened the first comatose patient awakening center in Anhui Province, and successfully awakened many comatose patients. The comatose wife came to Hefei Huaan from Wuxi…

“The doctor said that there is a prime time to wake up. If my wife doesn’t think about it, she may not be able to wake up. The baby is just born and can’t live without a mother. I hope Hua An can save her, and I hope a miracle will come to our house!”

SCS wake-up

Spinal cord stimulation surgery is one of the neuromodulation techniques, and it is also a wake-up for comatose patients in our hospital. The center’s normalized wake-up therapy has successfully awakened many patients, achieved good curative effects, and accumulated valuable experience.

This neuromodulation method has the characteristics of minimally invasive, controllable, and no obvious side effects, but it has strict indications. Not suitable for all comatose patients. I hope that Ms. Wang can wake up as soon as possible in the later regulation, and I also hope that Hua’an Comatose Patient Awakening Center can bring hope for more comatose patients to wake up.
