A member asked:
How well should my dad be able to breathe without a ventilator after bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: He should do fine. Specialists from his surgical team will take precise measurements on how well he'll be able to breathe before they remove the ventilator. Remember, it can always be replaced.
