Xi'an Daxing Hospital: Women's coma is in a coma for 5 months to become a "vegetative", new technology helps "open eyes" for a week

Five months, from two brain surgery to unconscious;

Five months, the condition develops close to a vegetative;

Five months, countless times wandering between hope and disappointment;

Five months, every small movement affects everyone’s heart;

... ...

This is their lonely entrusted entrustment. Fortunately, the miracle happened!

Face for 5 months, nearly become a "vegetative"

Five months ago, Ms. Zhang, 47, had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. After surgery in local hospitals, she was in a coma.

Later, hydrocephalus appeared, and the hospital performed surgery again.

However, Ms. Zhang's situation did not improve, and she almost became a "vegetative".

Family people seeking medical treatment and medicine, trying various methods, still unsuccessful. With the last hopes, they found Director Jia Dong, Daxing Neurosurgery.

Can the advanced technology be wake up?

After detailed inspection and evaluation, Ms. Zhang's situation was not optimistic.

"Her situation is very bad. She has performed 2 operations within 5 months and has been coma. She is in a state of minimal consciousness (close to the vegetative). The most suitable treatment method is ['spinal electro -stimulus' promoting surgery], After surgery, it needs to be a long and continuous awakening process. Even if this technology is very advanced, the power of wake-up is only 30 % -40 %. The treatment effect is unknown, but we will do our best. "

In the face of the lonely entrustment and trust of his family members, Jia Dong's team took over the challenge.

["Spinal Cord Electric Stimulation" Awakening surgery], also known as "the magical technology of awakening plants".

To put it simply, outside the patient's spinal hard spinal membrane, a stimulating electrode is implanted to help the patient wake up to the patient's brain nerve for a long time and continuously emit current stimulation.

Miracle appears! Open your eyes, cough, and limb response

"Pulling her hands and eyes, she will open a little, and she will wear a tooth to cough at night. There is a greater reaction than before, and she can bend her legs. This is the response that they didn't have before! It is really a miracle! "

One week after the operation, her husband excitedly described Ms. Zhang's surprise changes.

Nearly 20 days after surgery, although Ms. Zhang's consciousness has not fully recovered, she can open her eyes. Eye movement and physical response are more frequent, and everything is developing.

Gradually recovering the faith of persistence, even if it is only the micro -movement of the fingertips is the fire of hope.

Science time

First, [Minimal Ideology] is a serious disorder, but it is different from the plants.

In the state of minimal consciousness, patients can

1. Follow the simple order;

2. Regardless of the correctness, you can answer it in your posture or language;

3. Understanding language;

4. A purposeful behavior, including occasional movements and clear reactions related to environmental stimuli, instead of unwillingness.

Second, [spinal cord electrical stimulation] is a new technique of continuous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord nerve according to a certain frequency and voltage and voltage.

This technique is suitable for various refractory pain, coma, wake -up, Parkinson's gait disorders, diabetes foot, etc., which have good results.
