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

So we are getting a question from a reader who says, “How long do patients need to be sedated and in an induced coma after they had a tracheostomy?”

Now, what a great question to ask. And to give you the short version of it, the goal of a tracheostomy should be to minimize sedation and the induced coma. That’s exactly the goal of a tracheostomy. It’s not the only goal, but it’s one of the main goals of a tracheostomy to stop sedation and get patients out of an induced coma.

So what often happens preceding a tracheostomy is that, patients do not wake up after an induced coma, or if they do wake up, they’re agitated, they can’t tolerate the breathing tube, but by the same token, they’re not ready to be extubated and have the breathing tube removed just yet.
