Welcome to another, Intensive Care Hotline and Intensive Care At Home livestream.

Thank you so much for joining me tonight and this morning. Again, if you’re in the U.S., it’s evening time for you, Saturday evening. If you’re in Australia, it’s 10:30 AM in the morning, Sydney, Melbourne time, Brisbane time. If you’re in the UK, unfortunately, it’s in the middle of the night.

Today’s topic of the livestream is, “Archie Battersbee’s fight for life after parents lose legal battle over life support. What happened?” Very timely topic. Archie Battersbee passed away Saturday, the 6th of August. If you haven’t heard of Archie Battersbee, Archie Battersbee was a 12-year-old teenager in the UK, who was found unconscious at home by his mother in April this year. He ended up in ICU, unconscious, on life support, from April up until the 6th of August. And he passed away after his parents fought in court for his life support to be continued, but the courts decided to withdraw life support.

Before I break all of this down today, I want to set the scene a little bit. In case you’re wondering, why am I doing this livestream? What makes me qualified to talk about this topic?

So, my name is Patrik Hutzel. I’m a critical care nurse by background. I have worked in intensive care for over 20 years in three different countries. I have worked for over five years as a nurse unit manager in intensive care. I’m also the founder of Intensive Care At Home, a nursing service where we’re providing intensive care nursing at home for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomy, providing home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition). We’re providing services for patients on BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) , CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) and otherwise medically complex patients that would be otherwise staying in intensive care long-term.

I’m also the founder of Intensive Care Hotline, a professional consulting and advocacy service for families in intensive care. And we’re professionally consulting and advocating for families in intensive care all over the world.

Now, I want to go through today’s topic. And at the end of the topic, I will answer your questions. Please keep them to today’s topic. And if they’re not on today’s topic, I will answer your questions at the end of it. But if they’re on today’s topic, please type them into the chat pad.

So, where I want to start with today is I want to read out a newspaper article in a minute about the whole Archie Battersbee situation, but I also need to give some context around the Archie Battersbee situation. So, any of you watching this, if you are in the UK, but even if you’re not in the UK, you might have heard of cases in recent years of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans, in particular, in the UK. They were cases between 2016 and 2018, very similar to Archie Battersbee, where parents had toddlers in ICU, in the pediatric ICU for months on end. And they wanted, the parents wanted to continue treatment for life-limiting illnesses. And the courts in the UK decided that a withdrawal of life support would be appropriate.
