Event Description

It was reported that a few days ago the patient was brought to the hospital for a hip replacement.The patient representative (patient rep) said right prior to the hip replacement surgery, the patient was really groggy. surgery was 2 days ago but the patient still hasn't woken up.The patient rep said the dbs hcp said that the patient didn't need to turn dbs off for hip replacement surgery.The caller said after the surgery was done, the patient hadn't woken up and had a lack of responsiveness as they were in a near vegetative state. the patient had been given several medical tests to see why this was, but nothing wrong could be found with the patient.The patient rep decided to check the ins (implantable neurostimulator) and found that it was at eos (end of service).The patient rep said the ins being at eos must have been why the patient wasn't waking up.The patient rep was surprised that ins was at eos because the patient had seen the dbs hcp in (b)(6) 2022 and told the patient that their ins had months-years left.The patient rep said because of this, they knew something was wrong with the ins because the battery had depleted so quickly.The patient now has covid and the patient rep said due to this, the patient wouldn't be able to get a battery replacement surgery for at least 6 or 7 days.The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.The patient rep said the patient's medications had to be changed because the patient was on a feeding tube so they couldn't swallow medication so they were given carbidopa and levodopa in a different way now.
