Suggest Prognosis Of Double Bypass Surgery, Kidney And Liver Failure, Atrial Fibrillation

Hello, my name is Stephanie. My spouse s grandmother (89 yof) had double bypass surgery last week. She was taken off the vent, and in the last two days has been put back on the vent, is in active kidney and liver failure (with obivous jaundicing) and on a Dopamine drip. This morning she has jumped into a juncitional rhythm but has since gone back into A-Fib. I would like a VERY honest opinion on her expectancy. I am a nurse, my spouse a medic and my initial thought is not through the day. However, the CCU nurses have told us they believe she will make it through the night again.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that multiple organ failure after a big surgery prognosis is poor. She might take some time to get out of bed if everything goes fine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
