So Laureen writes in

Hi Patrik,

My mom is 64 years of age and she went into open-heart surgery last Friday. She had an Aortic valve replacement. Everything went well with the surgery. Her heart is fine, but while she was recovering, the endotracheal tube was removed the first night after the surgery around 11:30 PM soon after that she had to use a BiPAP machine for two or three days, but it wasn’t working because she developed pneumonia. Now they are saying her kidneys are functioning poorly because they have been trying dialysis for the last few days. They also say her blood pressure keeps dropping back whilst on the ventilator.

Yesterday she also went into atrial fibrillation or Afib. She’s also still very sore in her chest, especially with the BiPAP on. Initially, we were told that she would be leaving ICU within a couple of days after the atrial valve replacement and now it’s been over five days. How much longer would you stay in ICU? Do you have any suggestions? What should they be doing in order to get her out of ICU sooner? Any questions we should be asking?

Much appreciated.

From Laureen.
