A member asked:
Suggest a best advice/treatment for a 83 year old patient having aspiration pneumonia,history of two strokes, temporary high blood sugar and high bp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult problem: one might consider sleeping elevated. The history of strokes means a possible problem swallowing in which case a gastrostomy feeding tube may be the last resort. A modified barium swallow with speech pathology may provide more answers. Good luck
