What is the Life expectancy after an adominal aortic aneurysm repair?
Hi there, I cannot answer the above question but I can provide hope for people and families who may have had a loved one suffer from this. My father collapsed without warning nearly one year ago and was rushed to Hospital. After an xray it was discovered he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm and had to be operated on immediately if there was any chance of him surviving. We were of course shell shocked. Dad had been up and about and up a ladder only that morning. He was, however, 67 and had smoked most of his life. He was rushed into surgery lasting three hours. The prospects did not look good and we were told to expect the worst. However, the surgery was sucessful but dad was in Intensive care for nearly 4 weeks with no sign of movement. One Saturday afternoon we visited him and just like that he gained consciousness. It took another few weeks for him to be discharged and about another 8 months for him to get back to normal. By that I mean coming to terms with the emotional aspects of what had happened and waterworks which seemed to be a bit of a problem for a while!. There was no long term speech damage or brain damage. What Im trying to say is that don,t ever give up hope if you have a loved on in this situation. Some people do make it through.
If a patient who has had major abdominal surgery receives intravenous fluids equal to the blood volume lost during surgery would you expect urine volume to be greater or less than normal?
I would expect the urine output to tail off for a few hours due to the stress on the kidneys and the time it takes for the body to respond to the fluid.
