Hi Doc,my friend just had a brain aneurysm opration for about 10 days now,he is still not waking up,how long till the patient wil wake up after the surgery,it is safe he looks well no swollen at hes head he just open and close he eyes on sleeping stage. Is he gonna wake up soon? Thanks so much i appreciate it,
Hi, It depends on the possible complications after bleeding aneurysm, if vasospasm happened, it may take up to three weeks to see the extent of the brain damage. Most of the patients wake up, but unfortunately there may be some neurological damage. You should ask the treating Neurosurgeon about the expectations after the surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
