Mr. lybrate-user, The information provided by you is too brief. The very fact that your brother in law is on ventilator and requires blood pressure medicine is not a good situation. Regarding the chances of survival it is 0 or100% because chances apply to a population and not an individual. I believe your doctors are treating your patient well. Lets hope for the best.
