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

So at the moment we’re talking to a client, who’s had their 82-year old mother in ICU for 16 weeks. Their mother has a tracheostomy and is fully ventilator-dependent and the family is asking whether intensive care at home is an option for them.

And yes, intensive care at home is an option but, intensive care at home as great as it is, should be a last resort. So I’m telling you the missing link here, because you should avoid intensive care home by taking the right steps in the first place.

So whenever you have a loved one in intensive care, that’s having a trach number one, you should be checking whether the trach is really necessary. Whether someone can come off the ventilator and the breathing tube beyond the shadow of a doubt. That is the first question you need to ask.

And number two, when if a trach is necessary and unavoidable? The next question is how do you wean somebody off the ventilator and the trach, and again, it keeps coming back to the biggest challenge for families in intensive care is simply that you don’t know what you don’t know.

You don’t know what questions to ask.
