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

So, I had an email from Marvin who has his wife in ICU with COVID 19. She’s on a ventilator, with a breathing tube, and she can’t be weaned off the ventilator. She’s in an induced coma and on sedation. And Marvin says, ‘’She’s on 60% of oxygen. The ICU team is suggesting to do a tracheostomy, so she can be alert and wake up. Is this the right next step?’’

What a great question to ask Marvin, and it comes back to having all the facts and by saying what you’re saying, it’s very relevant. But it’s probably only 10% of the information that I would need in order to guide you with this.

The biggest challenge for families in intensive care is simply that they don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what to look for. They don’t know what questions to ask. They don’t know their rights and they don’t know how to manage doctors and nurses in intensive care. This is exactly the situation that you are in Marvin because there are so many unknowns in this situation.
