How Long Does It Take To Regain Consciousness After Heart Transplant?
hi there
yes I have a friend in Lebanon who had a heart transplant Tuesday. How long does it take to regain conscious. Will he pull thru. He had an open heart surgery 2years ago (I THINK) and the valve gave problems, the doctors didnt had hope for him. They also warned the family he might never wake up

Hello....he may be on ventilator and on sedation ...it depends on how surgery went and how his body responding ... Doctor working day and oyt with patient only can tell you exactly when patient can make up from ventilator... As patient ID critical... But 90% patient recover well. Hope everything will be alright... Take care
