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

Now, this morning, I was talking to a client who has their 56-year-old husband in ICU with prostate cancer and metastasizing cancer into other organs, and he’s in ICU. He has been in ICU for about a week, and the ICU team told the family that tomorrow at three o’clock they’re going to stop life support because it’s “in this man’s best interest” to die and not to live. The family has objected this and has said, “He wants to live. We want him to live. We want to give him a chance.” Even though the patient is awake, even though he’s ventilated, he can clearly nod, yes or no. Why doesn’t the hospital or the ICU team ask him? Does he want to live or want to die? And clearly the answer is he wants to live.

So, the family has objected, and the ICU team is basically telling them, “Well, we can do whatever we want.” And we educated the family that they can’t just do whatever they want. End of life doesn’t happen in a vacuum. They can’t just take someone off life support and kill a patient. End of life in intensive care happens in a legal framework, not in a vacuum like the intensive care team pretends here.
