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

So yesterday, I was talking to a gentleman who had an inquiry about his 63-year-old mom, and she has been in ICU for seven days now. She had one valve replacement and one valve repair, which, from experience, is usually prolonged cardiac surgery. The chest will need to be opened. Often patients end up on a bypass machine or ECMO for a period of time. The lungs are collapsed during that period and when patients come back after this type of surgery, under normal circumstances, if they’re stable, if surgery went well, they usually can be extubated within 24 to 48 hours, assuming they’re hemodynamically stable, assuming there’s no post-operative bleeding, and then they can often be sent to a hospital ward or hospital floor to get on with their recovery.

Now, he’s saying that his mom has been in ICU for seven days and that her recovery is very slow, although she’s off the ventilator. He says she looks very puffy. She’s very slow to recover and for whatever reason, the ICU is still keeping her. Under, again, normal circumstances, this particular lady should be back to the ward.
