Kampala Bombings: ICU Update

July 20, 2010 by Suubi Trust

This update from Dr. Prasandan:

1 week after the bomb blasts, we have 2 patients still in ICU.

A third patient has been moved to IPD 2 in a stable condition (She has regained her vision, but still see things/people as double. Headache is reduced and is taking food by mouth)

Both ICU patients continue to be in critical condition.

M1 has shown some improvement and has been mostly out of ventilator for last 2 days. He opens right eye some times. But still is unconscious and and has fever. CT scan repeated here yesterday showed extensive brain injury. ENT review today after noon for review of trachestomy and possible bronchoscopy.

M2 also had a great progress with his body swelling significantly reduced and able to use both upper limbs. He had been in good spirits and had been communicating by writing. Still draining air and fluid through right pleural drain. Running high temperature. Still paraplegic. Saliva is leaking through the tracheostomy wound. He is very sick and has refused to have feeding(through the N/G tube). ENT surgeon to review today after noon.
