Question : My father admitted.very critical. Heart ejection 25%. Blood culture say full of infection. Bed sore is deep though small. He is getting hiccups here and then. Doctor say symptom is not good sign. So i thought to discuss other views
Brief Answer:
Overall this indicates a critical outcome
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your attached query in detail.
Low ejection fraction in presence of septicemia or bacteremia (positive blood culture) is certainly not a good sign.
Based on the underlying cause further outcome can be clearly assessed.
But overall the prognosis is usually not good.
Aggressive treatment measures may be helpful.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you
