Welcome to another Intensive Care at Home live stream and thanks for joining in. And today’s topic is, “My 21-year-old daughter was at home on a ventilator with a tracheostomy and she passed away. Was it preventable?” And I’m going to give some case studies today. What happened? Because this is a real situation, this is a real case study. And unfortunately, I have more than one case study about what happened to some clients in the community when they were receiving not enough Intensive Care at Home and unfortunately cost their lives, but I will break it down today with some case studies.

In the meantime, let’s do some housekeeping. So, if you have any questions regarding today’s topic, please type them in the chat pad, I’ll also give you the opportunity to dial into the show and you can ask me questions live here over the phone, or you can just type them in the chat pad. Try to keep them to today’s topic, and if you can’t, if you have other questions about intensive care or Intensive Care at Home, I’ll answer them at the end of today’s presentation.

Now, before we go into today’s topic, also, you might wonder what makes me qualified to talk about this topic today. Again, my name is Patrik Hutzel. I am a critical care nurse by background. I have worked in intensive care/critical care for over 20 years in three different countries. And out of those 20 years, I was a nurse unit manager in intensive care. So, I’ve worked in intensive care at a very senior level, that has certainly given me enough insights to understand intensive care inside out and understand how intensive care units operate besides the clinical. On top of that, I’m also the founder and director of Intensive Care at Home, where we provide a genuine alternative for long term intensive care patients to have quality of life at home. Most of our long-term intensive care clients are ventilated with a tracheostomy, which is also what today’s topic is all about.

I have been lucky to be pioneering Intensive Care at Home over 20 years ago in Germany with a group of amazing ICU nurses where we were pioneering the concept in Germany. And then since 2012, 2013, we were starting to pioneer the same Intensive Care at Home model here in Australia. We have been able to successfully replicate the model to provide an intensive care unit in the home, sending intensive care nurses into the home, 24 hours a day, for long-term intensive care patients and provided genuine alternative to a long-term stay in intensive care, or provide an alternative to end-of-life in the intensive care because a lot of ICUs to this day still think that the best way forward is end-of-life instead of giving people an opportunity to live at home with their families and have the intensive care coming into the home. Okay, so that hopefully sets the scene a little bit.

On top of that, I also provide a consulting and advocacy service, or we provide a consulting and advocacy service at intensivecarehotline.com where we a Intensive Care Hotline (advocate and consult families in intensive care all around the world. So, you can check out) for that.
