In this episode of “YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED” I want to share this email from one of our clients Toni as part of our 1:1 consulting and advocacy service! Toni’s mom is in ICU and she is complaining about how the ICU team is treating her mom. Toni is thankful with the intensive care hotline because it gives them the confidence to challenge the ICU team and continue to fight to get their mom home with tracheostomy.

Part 1

Hi Toni,

The ventilator picture you have sent pretty much confirms that she’s stuck on a ventilator with lots of support. She’s dependent on 80% of oxygen which is a lot. The air we are breathing consists of 21% oxygen.

I wouldn’t ask anyone if you’re allowed to take pictures, just take them. You can make your own decisions. Just ask them what they have to hide.

Happy to get on a call tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Patrik

Hello Patrik,

Thank you so much for the information today.

My sister was told she wasn’t allowed to be taking photos so she was able to get this one before they came in and told her to not take any. Your email was very helpful.

I am going to be sending a request to the hospital tomorrow and request a meeting to address your findings. I wasn’t sure if you have any advice and if you would be willing to be on a call.

We really feel we need to move quickly with this and any advice you have we will take! I do want to have you as a consultant until we get answers.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you would be available tomorrow to be on a call where we address our clinical concerns.

Thank you so much,

Toni

Hello Toni,

She can be moved out of the ICU and we can help her to get to another ICU. Let’s see what we can do after the meeting as scheduled as we need to see a clear clinical picture of your mom’s current health situation.

We have intensive care at home

But unfortunately we are unable to provide services in your area, but we can continue with the consulting and advocacy service for families in intensive care, therefore we can do two things for you:

1) Help you get the outcomes you want for your mom by guiding you through the process.

2) Help you set up intensive home care once your mother is able to. There are very few if any home care service providers that can look after ventilation/tracheostomy at home since it’s such a highly specialized area.

Kind regards,

Patrik...
