A member asked:

My father had a triple heart bypass last wednesday. yesterday he coughed up blood is that normal and what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CABG: coughing up blood could mean he had some tracheal damage from the endotracheal tube during surgery but there are also other possiblilities. He should get in touch with his physician and let his doc decide what to do.
