What is the recovery like after having respiratory failure and being resuscitated?


Say a man is having acute respiratory failure, is resuscitated and is back to consciousness, what will they be like physically and mentally? Would they be able to stand and function fairly normally etc?

I am very limited in my knowledge of medical subjects and could not find the information online.

The context for this question comes from writing a fictional story.

Thanks in advance, no one ever seems to be able to answer my questions.
----------

Would probably have motor skill issues...but i would check med websites. Depending on the trauma of getting the respiratory failure...it could have mental backlashes, but it really depends on how it happened.

And the motor skill thing shouldn't last long... It depends on how it happened and how long they were out.  (+ info)

is does not affect speech. The speech center is above the spinal cord in the area of the Brain cause Broca's.

People with high level SCI that are trached and on a ventilator have speech issues but not related to the SCI but the tube inserted through the vocal cords.  (+ info)

How important is it for Respiratory Therapist to have BA instead of AA degree? Or does it matter?


I am trying to decide whether to get my Bachelor's in Respiratory Therapy, or stick with Associates... I keep hearing it's rather pointless to spend money on Bachelors degree in Respiratory Therapy field... Does it affect pay, career options, or chances for hire?
----------

I find a bachelors in RT to be a waste ... I still find it important to at least get a bachelors, but get it in something that will provide your a broader scope of employment opportunities ... the BS in RT limits you compared to say a BA in Marketing or Finance, Education, etc  (+ info)

What is sleep paralysis and does it make u get sick?


I just experienced sleep paralysis yesterday for the first time, i dreamed about someone waking me up which is impossible cause i always lock my door. and when i opened my eyes i saw this black figure standing beside my bed. I freaked out and cant scream and move, the next day i got fever, runny nose and cough, am i being possesed?
----------

I'd describe SP as the threshold between dreams and reality. Normally before you go to sleep your whole body paralyzes so that you don't act out your dreams. Most of the time we are already at an unconscious state at this moment, but if you are conscious you experience the SP.

Your mind is still "awake", but your body begins to feel strange and the mind associats this to danger most of the time, so you get a very spooky feeling most of the time. And yes you can open your eyes in this moment and you hear weird repeating noises sometimes.

Still it has its advantages because you can sort of "leave" your body and enter the dream state right away into a lucid dream, which is a transition that is simply undescribable in words.

And no you are not being possesed, although it is a scary feeling the first time, if you relax thorugh the process you can actually benefit from it.  (+ info)
