Good morning Mr. Achermann,
This is Maura again.
This morning he was repositioned supine, and during the afternoon we positioned him on his sides.
We interrupted sedation for almost 2 hours to observe his awakening: he opened his eyes but did not have the strength to move.
We explained to him (the doctor and I) that in his current condition this is normal—given the prolonged sedation there is immobility, and we hope that with time he may recover.
Then, for his comfort, we resumed sedation.
I provided his evening “beauty care” and changed his position.
This evening another patient arrived in his room. I advised him not to be alarmed if he hears strange noises or alarms.
I will say goodbye now, as I will return to work in a couple of days after this shift ends.
Stay strong!
Maura
