A member asked:
What is the complications that may occur for patient with salt water inhalation syndrome after discharge from icu ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt water: If the patient' s chest exam and x-Ray remained normal and the oxygen saturation remained normal after 24-48 hours, I wouldn't expect any major lung problems. Worsening cough, wheezing and shortness of breath, fever calls for reexamination.
