16-Year-Old in Coma with Hypoxic Brain Injury After Cardiac Arrest:What are the Chances of Recovery?

Can a 16-Year-Old Wake Up from a Coma After Cardiac Arrest & Brain Injury?

In this video, Patrik Hutzel from IntensiveCareHotline.com responds to a concerned parent whose 16-year-old son is in a coma with hypoxic brain injury following a cardiac arrest, possibly linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).

The teen has been in a coma for 15 days, now ventilator-dependent with a tracheostomy, but still shows positive signs like reactive pupils and intact brainstem reflexes.

Patrik breaks down:
- What hypoxic brain injury means
- Why young age improves chances of recovery
- How GBS may have contributed to the cardiac arrest
- Why not giving up too early is critical
- What steps you can take now to improve your loved one's outcomes
