If you want to know what are the 5 things that Intensive Care at Home can do that no ICU and no intensive care unit can offer, stay tuned. I’ve got news for you.

Hi, my name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com. Today, I want to talk about the 5 things that Intensive Care at Home can do that no ICU and no intensive care unit can offer. Let’s dive right into it.

Number 1, we are the only provider that actually sends CCRNs (Critical Care Registered Nurses) into the home to manage long-term ventilation with tracheostomy for adults and children. We’re also the only provider that can send CCRNs into the home to manage home BIPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), home CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) ventilation without tracheostomy. We’re also the only provider that can send CCRNs at home when it comes to tracheostomy management, 24 hours a day, without ventilation. Also, Home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), home IV potassium infusion, home IV magnesium infusion, and also home palliative care. We’re also managing central line, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) lines, Hickman’s lines, as well as port access at home.

We are also sending critical care nurses into the home for emergency department bypass services. So, that’s the first thing that no intensive care unit or ICU can offer.

Number 2, the other thing that only Intensive Care at Home can offer, and no ICU or intensive care unit can offer is actually community access for an intensive care patient. All of our clients at home that otherwise without our service would be in intensive care, do have community access, that means they regularly go out in the community.

Picture that and compare that to an intensive care bed. No patients in intensive care do have community access on a regular basis. If at all, the limitations are stopping in that intensive care bed or the limitations are confined to that intensive care bed or intensive care cubicle. Contrast that to Intensive Care at Home where our clients, all of our clients have regular community access with critical care nurses, 24 hours a day.

Number 3, Intensive Care at Home can actually offer quality of life and quality of end-of-life for our clients. Once again, I argue after having worked in critical care for nearly 25 years in three different countries in intensive care as well as in Intensive Care at Home, no intensive care unit can offer quality of life or quality of end of life. If anything, it’s actually appalling, which is why I started Intensive Care at Home because those are exactly the things that we can offer quality of life and quality of end-of-life for our adult and pediatric clients at home.

Number 4, what Intensive Care at Home can offer that no ICU and intensive care unit can offer is actually quality time with family. Now, anyone that’s worked in an intensive care unit or anyone that has had a family member in intensive care knows there’s no quality time for families in intensive care but there’s plenty of quality time for families with Intensive Care at Home because intensive care is coming into people’s homes, which means there’s lots of quality time and care can be structured around what a client and their family wants and needs.

Number 5, another thing that Intensive Care at Home can do that no ICU can offer is long-term job satisfaction for CCRNs. Our staff turnover is very minimal. Most ICUs benchmark is having staff turnover less than 17%.
