after a night with APAP he did fine.Keep in mind only has 1 working lung with 30 percent capacity. After taking blood it showed his Dialtin & Ptyocin levels were very low. Now the dr is started both back IV due to the confusion. The Dr. is askin for 24 hours for this to run before we move him because instead of him getting better he is getting worse. His heart is very healthy. Also started with Prednizone. What can this be? Does it sound like a Blood clot that s casing the confusion or something else. The blood gas showed 96 percent HELP

hi i did review your concern.
The chances of a blood clot in his brain are there due to confusion. APAP is used for allergies and cought and sedation. However, can you tell me why was he on pitocin and dilantin and why the doctor had to start prednisone.
Please provide me feedback on his health and i will be in a better position to answer
I hope this helps
Wish you all the best
