my mom did the trach on last Friday. she was in ICU for 1.5days and transferred to PCU(progressive care unit). after few hours of her surgery, she started to bleed a lot so had to go back to surgery room to control the bleeding and to chech if everything is okay. next day of surgery, she was doing fine. third day, she got panic attack while she was trying pmv. so doctor needed to give her strong anxiety medication. yesterday, she was fine everything was stable. (heart rate/ blood pressure) today, her condtion was good so we tried to pmv and suddenly sacrition came out through her next whole, bubbling, thick, and the color was yellow. they took out pmv and found out her oxygen level is keep going down below 90. her level was over 96 and she didnt need oxygen before she did pvm today. so doctors ordered the chest xray and waiting for the result. any idea why she having this problem so suddenly? she didnt need to suction that much until she tried the pmv.
