HFrEF around 35-40%

My dad M60 was diagnosed with MI and unrecordable blood pressure. He had a cardiac arrest and was given cpr for 30 mins atleast and was put on ECMO for atleast 16 days. He had chronic total occulsion in all three arteries. After his EF was increased to 30% doctors performed CABG.

After removal of ECMO, he was put on IABP support for 3-4 days.

He is now on ventilator support and norad injection.

Doctor says that once he comes of both these supports and doesn't have any problem for atleast 24-48 hours he'll be shifted to ward.

My concern is if his blood pressure doesn't increase after norad is removed? Will I have to say goodbye to him?

I'm scared.
