85 yr old female w end stage chf in hospice with 24 hr, IV drip morphine, ativan, lexapro.  Upon admission life expectancy was less than week.  It has been over one month, patient has stablized but still needs all.  Any idea about life expectancy?  Family trying to time manage.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. It's very difficult to tell exact life expectancy. But one thing is sure that she is alive with help of medicines only. Some patients with end stage LVF can live fit 1 year in hospice Care. Some die withing 1 week. But in general life expectancy will be less than 3-4 months. Since you are saying that this female is stabilized with Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to her. Thanks.
