Suggest Treatment For Internal Bleeding In The Lungs
I had a double mastectomy done. 4 to 5 hours after surgery i had internal bleeding and develop a blood clot on the lungs. I through up 500 cc of blood and my 02 sat had dropped below 85%. My lungs was accidotic, An et tube was inserted to far and I develop a right pneumothrax. Immediately after surgery i had a big apeptite but when I ate food I could only take 2 or three bites and I was very full. The surgeon did not talk to me about my complication. All she said that i had a very rough time during surgery. I was told by the nurse practictioner that it was my tissues.

- CT thorax for best decisions.
- Intercostal drainage management as per the decision of thoracic surgeon.
- Definite exploratory or laparoscopic thoracotomy for internal bleed control.
