What Causes Prolonged Loss Of Consciousness Post Angioplasty Procedure?

Hello, My uncle suffered a heart attach at the airport. He felt unconscious and had froth coming from mouth. He was immediately shifted to hospital and an angioplasty was performed. However, it has been 3 days and he has still not gained consciousness.

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
Its very rare. May be he has been given sedatives that were high potency or given in high dosage. May be he is under the side effect of some sedative.
Usually it doesnt happen. But no problem. Keep ur uncle in ICU and hope for the best.
 

May he get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click helpful if u agree.

 

Regards!
