Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated patients with tracheostomies and where we also provide tailor-made solutions for intensive care units to provide quality services whilst saving money and resources.

Today’s quick tip for families in intensive care is a question that I had from Penny. And Penny asks, “Can my mom be weaned off the tracheostomy in ICU? What a great question to ask.

So Penny’s mom has been in ICU for about 3 months. She’s been weaned off the ventilator now, but she still has the tracheostomy in place. And she’s wondering what’s next? And should it be done in ICU or are there options to wean off the tracheostomy at home and decannulate at home? And the answer is a simple yes. That it can be done at home. It can be done in ICU, but the question is how much longer do you want to wait in ICU?

You’ve probably had enough after three months. Your mom had probably had enough. And you said that in your email, that she’s depressed. She has no quality of life. She wants to go home. And that is exactly what we can help you with here at Intensive Care at Home. Get your mom home with a tracheostomy with 24-hour intensive care nursing.

According to the mechanical home ventilation guidelines, that we publish on our website, where it’s safe to look after someone at home on a ventilator with a tracheostomy or with a tracheostomy when there’s 24/7 intensive care nursing in place. And all of our nurses have a minimum of 2 years ICU or pediatric ICU experience. And that is the safe way to do.

In regards to who is funding it here in Australia, the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is funding it. But hospitals are also funding it because keep in mind, we are cutting the cost of an ICU bed by around 50%. And we are creating an empty bed for the ICU, which they desperately need. ICU beds are in high demand, and it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

So contact us, if you have a loved one in intensive care and talk to us about funding. How we can arrange funding for you and how we can help you to get the funding. And then we organize the nursing care and then we can get your mom home Penny, as quickly as possible.

That is my quick tip for today.
