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

So, today’s tip is for our U.S. audience mainly. And I have this email from Sally, and Sally says, “LTAC is making us move my husband to a nursing home today. And I appealed and was denied the appeal in less than 24 hours. What should I do?”

Now, I need to give you some context here. For those of you that don’t know what LTAC means, LTAC stands for Long-Term Acute Care facility. And again, this is a U.S.-specific topic today where many patients in ICU, after they have a tracheostomy and they can’t be weaned off the ventilator, are often sent to LTAC (Long-Term Acute Care) facility.

Now, if you’ve watched any of my videos for any length of time, or if you’ve watched or you are reading my blog, you would’ve seen many case studies where we strictly and strongly advise against LTAC . It’s a disaster area.

It’s insanity sending someone from ICU to LTAC. And then when patients in LTAC don’t get better, and they often don’t, because LTACs are simply not designed to look after ventilated patients with tracheostomy, then it’s getting worse. It’s going from bad to worse.
