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

So currently we are working with a client who has their 79-year-old mom in ICU. She initially got admitted with severe pneumonia and ended up on a ventilator with a breathing tube initially, then had to have a tracheostomy because of the inability to get off the ventilator. And thankfully after a few days of the tracheostomy, she got off the ventilator. I made another video about this just a few days ago where the headline is something like, my mom came off the ventilator in record time. And that’s what a tracheostomy should be there for. It should facilitate ventilator weaning in record times. Really, once someone has a tracheostomy, sedation can be switched off and then hopefully, ventilator weaning can be started. And this particular lady came off the ventilator within just a few days.

So, in the meantime, the ICU keeps pushing for LTAC, and in the meantime they’re downsizing the tracheostomy, which means they’re now downsizing from a size 8 tracheostomy to a size 6, and she’s been off the ventilator for more than three or four days.

Continuation...
