Dear , it's worrysm condition
Patient is long standing bed ridden , so there is always chances of infection.
As per your given information, he had severe infection called as severe sepsis , second thing already he had bipass surgery , so he is having severe sepsis with multi organ dysfunction.
It's very critical condition, do putting on ventilator, giving bp medicine , doing haemodialilysis all those are supportive majors which can help patient to come out of all those problems , finally patient response and resistance power of patient also important.
Fallow your treating doctor . Hope for the best . Hope your father wl get well soon

It's because of his disease that he isn't being able to maintain blood pressure. I'm sure whatever is best possible that is being done for the patient at the hospital.
Doctors can only do so much. And I'm sure the best possible is being done.
If you have doubts, you can shift to some other hospital if you think you will get better treatment.
I'm sorry. I wish for your father's speedy recovery.
