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

So, today’s tip is once again about, “LTAC and patients going from ICU to LTAC.” This is specifically for our U.S. audience. Many families contact us that ICU wants to do a tracheostomy and a PEG tube and then send their loved ones to LTAC.

Now, as you would’ve heard me say before, over and over again in many of my other videos, your loved one might need a tracheostomy depending on the situation, but you should check in with us whether a tracheostomy is appropriate or not. But you would’ve also heard me saying that a PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube is not necessary, especially if your loved one is at risk of going to LTAC. The nasogastric tube will do, will suffice and that puts a stop to your loved one going to LTAC (Long Term Acute Care), but this also leads to another issue.

You might have heard me say before that LTACs are not equipped to look after ventilation and tracheostomy for reasons that I’ve outlined in other videos.
