Hi everyone. My husband will be having surgery on his aortic root aneurysm and I was wondering what the average hospital stay is…..how many nights in cardiac intensive care unit, and how many nights on step down unit? Am I allowed to stay in his room with him? Thank you in advance.

@amysue6rn I think it varies a lot depending on the overall health of the patient, I was 1 1/2 days in ICU and 5 days total in the hospital, but that is on the low side. My wife could not stay with me while there.

I’m sure you will get anywhere between a week and 3 weeks in the hospital, with a couple of days to a week in ICU
