<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My Father is in ICU, he had a pulmonary embolism. He is on a breathing machine due to respritory failure, his heart is only working at 20 he has COPD and blood in his stool. What are his chances for survival. And what will his quality of life be if he survives?  <response>: Hello, What I can say is, Its sorry to hear about your father. But to be very much honest it is really difficult for anyone to provide a judgment that what are his survival rates with the short history you have provided. Also, we need to see the SpO2 levels, PI, ECG, Blood pressure, etc. Well, I am sure there will some kindness by Almighty to help him ease towards either side. Once he is out I think you can ask for a good pulmonary physical therapist, so he gets the ease of the problems. In my 12 years of clinical practice, I have seen asthma cases with asthmatic attacks too. But over a period of 6 months of physical therapy most cope well. Please pray for good and the ease of the father. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
