Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

Today, I’ve got a question from a reader who says, “I want the ICU team to give my mom time after a stroke and sedation to see if she will respond. They stopped sedation, but they’re already pushing towards end-of-life or a tracheostomy if she doesn’t wake up. How long is too long for her not to wake up?” What a great question, especially after a stroke and after sedation.

So, first off from my experience and I have worked in intensive care for over 20 years in three different countries. From my experience, it simply takes time. And that time can’t be limited by artificial timelines from intensive care teams who manage beds, or who manage budgets, who manage staff. Time to wake up is simply guided by a patient, by therapy, and by treatment.

A lot of it comes down to what sedatives has your mom been on? Has she been on long-acting sedatives? Has she been on short-acting sedatives? Short-acting sedatives are usually medications such as propofol. Long-acting sedatives are usually medications such as midazolam or Versed. Sometimes, these days, there’s also Precedex being used as a sedative and Precedex is somewhere in the middle.
