If you want to know what are alternatives to organ donation in intensive care, stay tuned. I’ve got news for you.

My name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies at home. 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 infusions, 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 services at home.

We are also sending our critical care nurses into the home for emergency department bypass services. We have done so successfully to the Western Sydney Local Area Health District, their in-touch program.

In essence, we’re saving 50% of the cost of an intensive care bed whilst drastically improving the quality of life for our clients and their families. We’re saving roughly $2,000 for the cost of an ED admission by providing the ED bypass service at home.

Now, in today’s video, I want to actually talk about some of our clients who were in ICU before we took them home with Intensive Care at Home. Here are some of their stories, what they reported to us or more or less what their family members reported to us.

So, picture this, your child is being struck by a car or in a bad motor vehicle accident and they end up with a C1, C2 spinal injury and they need a ventilator and a tracheostomy, and they end up in ICU. It’s a tragic situation but what happened next then for those clients is that ICUs wanted to withdraw treatment and were saying that, “You should just stop everything your child/family member won’t have any quality of life going forward and you should just donate organs. You should just consent to organ donation and let your child or family member die because it’s “in their best interest” because they won’t have any perceived future quality of life.” Well, nothing could be further from the truth.

Those families objected this point of view strongly and they said, “Well, how do you dare asking me for organ donation for my child or a family member, I want them to live, and they are living.” What that means, they ended up having a tracheostomy and went home eventually with our service Intensive Care at Home.

So, it really comes down to thinking for yourself and making your own decisions and not let intensive care units, dictate your decisions when it comes to who should live and who should die.

Years later, those patients and families are very happy to have their loved ones at home with Intensive Care at Home and live a good quality of life. Our clients all have community access. So, compare that to the contrast of living in an intensive care unit or potentially being dead. Do I need to say more?

On top of that, besides the human aspect of this situation, there’s a massive cost aspect of the situation, intensive care bed costs $5,000 to $6,000 per bed day.
