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

So I had an email yesterday from Sabrina and Sabrina says that her husband has been in intensive care now for three months. Initially went in with pneumonia and after a heart attack, and he ended up on a breathing tube, ended up on a ventilator, then eventually had a tracheostomy because he couldn’t be weaned off the ventilator and the breathing tube.

So he ended up with a tracheostomy and he’s now stuck in ICU for over three months and Sabrina says that her husband always gets agitated after weaning trial, then he needs to go back on the ventilator because he’s not quite ready yet to be weaned off the ventilator. He gets so agitated and worked up because of anxiety being in ICU, being surrounded by doctors, nurses, in an environment where he has no privacy, no dignity and so forth.

So often, he then ends up being sedated again, and he takes two-step backwards because sedation puts people asleep and robs them off their strength really, and the encouragement to be weaned off the ventilator.

So Sabrina is at her wit’s end and she’s asking, what should she do and how can she help her husband in this desperate situation?
