Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So, we’ve got this email from a reader who says, “My husband has been in ICU for seven days now. He had a cardiac arrest and sustained a hypoxic brain injury. The intensive care team is putting pressure on me to either let him pass away or do a tracheostomy.” What a great question to ask and this is obviously something we are encountering here all the time at intensivecarehotline.com. I have seen these situations hundreds of times when I work in intensive care all around the world for over 20 years.

So, here is what you should be doing. Number one, you should not agree to end of life, unless it’s your or your husband’s explicit wish to die. But it doesn’t sound to me like that’s what you want to do. First question is, does your husband have an advanced care plan? If he has an advanced care plan that explicitly says that he wants to have everything done to save his life, then the ICU team must act on that. If he has an explicit advanced care plan that says, “Look, in a situation like that, cardiac arrest, hypoxic brain injury and I don’t want to live on a ventilator with a tracheostomy,” for example.
