Goffa on the fight against coronavirus: Intubation, coma, mucus suction! THIS was the worst, from his words it freezes – Topky.sk

Vladimír Goffa is still coping with the consequences of the postcovide syndrome after overcoming a difficult course, after which he learned to walk again. He decided to raise an enlightenment and brought people a notebook of his experience with coronavirus treatment. Although he thought he would overcome COVID in the comfort of his home, he had to be hospitalized.

He was first hospitalized in the Žilina hospital, then transferred to the hospital in Martin. Shortly afterwards, he was put into artificial sleep in a difficult state and intubated. The chances of “getting out” of it were minimal. Goffa woke up from a coma after a few days. Little did he know that he had slept longer than usual. “Intensive care unit at Martin University Hospital. About ten glass boxes next to each other, one patient each. Great department. I wake up and make a living. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like two medics are talking about my stuff next to my bed. I pay attention, I don’t like the dates they’re talking about at all. It wasn’t that much yet, ” he wrote in a notebook, saying that shortly afterwards he had a phone call from his mother, who was happy to hear her son.

She found out if he sensed her visit, but, Goffa thought he was crazy because she hadn’t been to visit him yet, but he didn’t cut the communication and said goodbye. “A phone call from my daughter in a moment. Apparently they let her in for the weekend, but I slept. Now she’s excited to be upstairs. Another thing that fetishizes – I think. Because I know there will be a weekend. Or? There’s something wrong with me. I look in my mobile phone, open the messenger and I haven’t communicated with anyone for 6 days. No sms, no phone calls. Seeing the confusion on my face, the doctor informs me that I recovered from the coma after 6 days, “ stated. And then began the questions – how did he wake up, why, and so on.

He found that after he was admitted to the hospital, he signed an informed consent that, if necessary, he would be put to artificial sleep and intubated. Then he remembered his “colleagues” from the room, who were intubated and didn’t move. And some didn’t win the fight. “I learn that during the coma, my family sent a priest to my bed. I have no idea what he was doing. Not to mention that he didn’t answer me, because he would pull pike out of me and he would have to get the high-flow oxygen. 20:80. Also, my percentage chances of survival were.20:80, I repeat those numbers many times. 20:80, really tight. 20:80, ufff. I am here. And I’m glad. PS: Today, the doctor who told me at the check-up tells me: Uganda has a 15% vaccination rate and Kysuce has a 20% vaccination. Hm, ” he wrote.

However, his condition did not improve, and therefore it was necessary to take another drastic step – tracheotomy. It is a surgical procedure to open the trachea for respiratory problems. Although he could be conscious, he could not speak, he could only answer with gestures, or he could write an answer, which, however, was extremely complicated in his condition. However, he decided that he needed to hear the voices of his loved ones, so he asked the nurse in a letter if he could call some of his family members and acquainted them with his condition.

“Dial them, explain that I still can’t communicate verbally. And that you will put them on loud interception. They will talk what they have new and I will listen. He called, explained and held my cell phone to my ear (no video). Ex, kids, mom, friends. Short calls. He sometimes reported on his cell phone – speak, speak, listen to you, smile, laugh, cry, nod – he described everything to them according to my emotions, “ Goff pointed out.

After a tracheotomy and a slight improvement, he was given an oxygen mask. He had this even after hospitalization. As he explained, he had been prescribed high-flow oxygen therapy for the first week at 50 liters per minute. He was breathing well then, but over time, the mask began to fail because he had it on his face all the time, except when he was eating or drinking. And for a while. “Otherwise the saturation drops, the devices start beeping like rabies. Everyone from the primary to the gravedigger runs away slowly. And the next weeks with a face mask with the so-called high flow rate of the already mentioned 50 liters? Finished suffering. Mouth dry, nostrils bloody, nose pulled out like a pipe with Russian gas. Hell. I’m going crazy. “ he said.

He added that the oxygen flow was subsequently reduced to 30 liters, until it reached 5 liters per hour and he could fold the mask whenever he needed. “And the second worst thing during hospitalization? Suction of mucus from the lungs. Kua fix ye ** m na to. I growl, growl. I see my mucus flowing through the tubes. I’m gasping for air. I cough so that they bring me home, I guess, piece by piece, I’m going to get stuck. Then it’s good for a while. And in a few minutes I’m growling and growling again, “ he pointed out that the nurse went to see Goff at regular intervals.

Among other things, Goffa described the postcovide syndrome. He suffered from more – from hair loss, through breathing problems, to a rheumatic attack. During his rehabilitation stay in Zázrivá, he tried to pedal a bicycle, but his ankles swelled up and they had to take him from Zázrivá to Martin again – the reason? Rheumatic attack. “Standing on your own (even with the passage of time) was a chore. The legs stood but did not control. Something like making a call and the called station is unavailable. To this day, I can’t walk properly, I probably have surgery for a real member, ” stated that finding someone who does not suffer from postcovide syndrome after overcoming coronavirus is extremely difficult. Those who had a difficult course, as well as those who suffered from mild symptoms, suffer from it.

“Shortness of breath (especially), swelling, heart problems, psyche fucked, hair on the floor, allergies to pollen, scattered immunity. I have not heard anyone who overcame the covid with an easier course, so that it does not suffer at least some consequences. Nobody, “ he concluded by urging people to watch out for their loved ones, because the coronavirus is like an unwanted visit that rings and opens itself.
