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

So at the moment, we are working with a client who has their elderly dad in ICU, and he’s been suffering from a severe pneumonia and he’s been in ICU for a couple of months.

Initially he had a tracheostomy because he couldn’t be weaned off the ventilator. And after many weeks of physiotherapy, mobilization, eventually the client’s dad could have time off the ventilator. And then the client contacts me again and says, “Hey, they want to decannulate my dad on Monday or whatever day it was, but I don’t think he’s ready. What should I do?”.

So the ICU there has been very reluctant to release medical records to our client, which is, obviously against patient’s rights, it’s against laws. It makes you wonder what do ICUs have to hide if they can’t release medical records? Because it would’ve been easy for someone to glance over it because that’s what we do here at Intensive Care Hotline. We look at medical records and we probably could have easily pointed out that the client wasn’t ready for decannulation and the client said, “Look, my gut is telling me my dad is not ready for decannulation”. Anyway, cutting a long story short, client got decannulated even though he expressed to the ICU team that he didn’t think his dad was ready. But nevertheless, they did it anyway.
