My husband is currently on the ICU, and had to be put to "sleep" for 3 weeks due to lung issues from influenza A. He was put under using a variety of drugs and according to his doc he is now considered an addict because of the high dosages they had to give him (propofol, remifentanyl, esketamine).
Maybe its not the right place to ask, but what are the impacts of these drugs on the mind after such a prolonged and heavy use? How do you take care of a such a patient to wean them of the drugs?
