Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term, ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies and where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals and intensive care units at home whilst providing quality care for long-term, ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies at home, otherwise medically complex adults and children at home, which includes home BIPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), home CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), home tracheostomy care for adults and children that are not ventilated, Home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), home IV potassium, home IV magnesium infusions, as well as home IV antibiotics. We also provide port management, central line management, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line management as well as Hickman’s line management, and we also provide palliative care at home.

We’re also sending our critical care nurses into the home for emergency department bypass services to keep ED beds empty. We have done so successfully in the past for the Western Sydney Local Area Health District, their in-touch service.

Today, I actually want to talk more about the importance of emergency department bypass services. As much as we keep intensive care beds empty, I do want to focus more on the advantages of using our critical care nurses also for emergency department bypass services.

So today really, I’m talking to anyone that wants to avoid ED admissions, whether that’s patients’ families, but also emergency departments, whether it’s doctors in ED, nurses in ED, hospital executives.

So, here are the cost savings quite frankly, whenever we can provide an emergency department bypass service and avoid an ED admission for things such as PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube changes, PEG tube blockages where we can unblock PEG tubes, for example, in residential aged care, or change nasogastric tubes at home, or unblock nasogastric tubes, change an IDC (indwelling catheter) at home, or an SPC (suprapubic catheter) at home, change a tracheostomy at home, change a cast at home, or make an assessment at home, a respiratory assessment at home, take bloods at home, whatever the case may be.

We’re saving roughly $2,000 because we’re saving costs for the ambulance, we are saving occupying an ED bed, we’re saving a hospital bed after ED. So, it’s once again, it’s win-win-win all around.

So, similar to an ICU bed, we are saving the healthcare system millions of dollars. Plus, where would a patient want to be treated? In their home or in a crowded ED that’s full of bacteria, full of infections, in a hospital that’s bursting at the seams, no ICU beds available, no ward beds available, no staff available. Think about that. It is an absolute no brainer to provide this treatment at home.

Also, shout out to our friends from Mobile Radiology, we can do X-rays at home. They have been very supportive with our emergency department bypass services, for example, if we change the nasogastric tube at home, they come around and do a post nasogastric tube insertion chest X-ray to confirm the position.

Again, all the resources are there. So, the community healthcare services have come a long way to rally together and provide the infrastructure to keep clients out of ICU as well as out of the emergency department. So, think about it.
