How To Decrease White Blood Count After Cholecystectomy Procedure?
Help me understand this. My dad is 80 and just has undergone a Cholecystectomy procedure. He has become lethargic and hallucinating in the 7 days following his surgery. The symptoms were immediately following his procedure. As this is already 7 days later, the anesthesia is no longer considered a viable problem.Today the doctors found his white blood counts to be high (2600) for the first time since the surgery 7 days ago.. What could we be dealing with as a complication?
