Rolando's Success Story
From Kindred Hospital Central Tampa
Rolando was admitted to Kindred Central Tampa on March 8th following a complicated hospital stay due to acute respiratory failure, cardiogenic shock, recurrent wound infections, and severe deconditioning. Upon admission, Rolando required a tracheostomy with ventilator support, a feeding tube, long-term IV antibiotics, wound care, and total assistance for all mobility.
He progressed throughout his hospital stay and with the help of our respiratory team, he weaned off the ventilator, was decannulated and no longer required supplemental oxygen. He worked extremely hard with our rehab team and went from needing total assistance for all bed mobility to being able to sit unassisted and stand with assistance. He also progressed to tolerating an oral diet and no longer required a feeding tube.
Rolando is a true Kindred Success Story! He was discharged on April 16th, and we wish him the best as he continues his recovery journey!
Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
