A member asked:
Can a person die if they get pneumonia a few days after having a quadruple bypass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too little info...: The answer depends on many variables, i.e. The success of the surgery, complications, cardiovascular status, presence of a respirator, the individual's previous respiratory status and reserve, type of organism and speed with which it is recognized and treated, etc. Need a lot more information and would refer you to the treating physician.
