Had A Valve Replacement, Performed Tracheostomy Because Of Lung Collapse. Again Advised Replacement. Why ?
My nephew just had a valve replacement , hie is 24 yrs old and very healthy before he went to undergo surgery, he is still iin icu for 6 weeks already, and the doctor said that his lungs collapse and they performed tracheostomy bec of his lung collapsed.they said that they gave 17 bags of blood transfusion . I am curious if something went wrong during the surgery. He had valve replacement 10 yrs ago and they just have to replace the valve again after 10 yrs.
It is difficult to say the cause in a given case.
Bleeding (Disseminated Intra-vascular Coagulation) happens in a few.
Aspiration of secretions, Infection, Arrhythmias and so on - there are several possibilities / only the the concerned doctor can give a correct assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
