Excessive fluid buildup in the free space 4 weeks post op

Posted by rperry123 @rperry123, 6 days ago

There is no liver indications for the excessive fluid. A g & j tube have been added but the j keeps going into the stomach due to severe bloating. He is now on TPA. They cannot figure out where the fluid is coming from. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, I misspoke. My husband 4 weeks post op Whipple has excessive buildup of fluid. He is on TPN because his stomach is still not working. Infection in peritoneal fluid. Blood clots in his chest. Any suggestions?
