Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies and otherwise medically complex patients. And where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals and intensive care units whilst providing quality care.

Today, I want to answer a question from a subscriber and Jennifer asks, she says, “My 65-year-old dad has been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) also known as motor neurone disease in the last six months. Unfortunately, he deteriorated so quickly that he’s now in intensive care and he’s on a ventilator and he’s had a tracheostomy because the intensive care team is saying that he will most likely never come off the ventilator and that he can’t be weaned.” And now, he’s been stuck in intensive care for about three months. And Jennifer wants to take her father home so he can have Intensive Care at Home, which makes perfect sense considering that intensive care is not the right place for someone long-term. Especially if they’re on a ventilator and a tracheostomy, there are better ways to look after these patients.

So, Jennifer here is my advice. I know you mentioned you are in Melbourne, Australia. You should be contacting us directly and then we can look into funding streams for your father. And then we can look how we can take your father home from intensive care. It’s bread and butter for us. We have many clients at home with MND or Motor Neurone Disease that have a tracheostomy and a ventilator. And we have set this up before successfully. Some of our clients have been at home now for quite a number of years where we initially transitioned them home from intensive care and we can do the same for your father.

So, we are setting up like a mini-ICU at home. We will be providing a 24-hour nursing care roster exclusively with intensive care nurses. We are providing services around the Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines, which you can find on our website at intensivecareathome.com, which means anyone at home on a ventilator with a tracheostomy has to be looked after by an intensive care nurse with a minimum of two years intensive care nursing experience. The average nurse on our books probably has more than 8 or 10 years of ICU nursing experience. We are now employing hundreds of years of intensive care nursing experience in our business that gives us the know-how, the skills, the intellectual property to take patients home from intensive care directly, and literally forge out a new pathway for those clients with a much better quality of life, as opposed to having them in intensive care.

So, I hope that helps Jennifer to answer your question.
