What would one experience after having coronary artery bypass surgery?

I'm finishing up a case study review for college in which i have to write up signs and symptoms for different diseases this guy has, and for some reason i also have to write up signs and symptoms for the coronary artery bypass surgery he had. What would i include in it? mostly i need help with vital signs eg; is his blood pressure lowered or high, would his oxygen saturation levels be notmal or lowered etc. thanks! Just to make is easier to understand, here's the way i've been presenting for other questions: Signs and Symptoms of Myocardial Infarction: -Shortness of breath (normal range; 12-20 resps per minute) -Nausea -Weak, rapid pulse (normal range; 60-90 beats per minute) -Back, arm and jaw pain -High blood pressure (normal range; 100-120/60-80 mmHg) -Decreased oxygen saturation (normal range; 96%-100%) -lightheadedness or loss of consciousness
