My dad had a major heart attack and he is on life support ventilator and done angioplasy .Now doctor is saying he is improving but little by little but still critical .Also now he has some water bubbles in lungs which they are saying they are precuring.
Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor. I had gone through all the data posted. By water bubbles in lungs doctor meant to say there is fluid in lungs suggestive of pulmonary edema. It suggests that patient is still in critical condition. As patient had suffered massive heart attack its pumping capacity goes down and blood gets congested in lungs which causes water content to move from blood vessels into lungs causes respiratory distress for which Ventilator is necessary. So your patients condition is still critical. Hopet his helps.
