Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from Intensive Care at Home, where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term, ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies. And where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals in intensive care units, whilst providing quality services for our clients and their families, which also includes medically complex patients, BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) or CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) including Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition) and IV fluids and IV antibiotics.

Now, in today’s blog, I quickly want to talk about a milestone that we took today in our service. For the first time, we were able to insert a nasogastric tube at home. We were able to change the nasogastric tube at home and follow up with a home x-ray at home. So, which really eliminated the need for our client to go to a hospital or to ED.

Once again, what is our goal, maximizing quality of life for clients at home and their families at home whilst taking pressure off an already overcrowded hospital system and already an already overcrowded ED (Emergency Department).

Cutting long story short, we have a client at home with a nasogastric tube because he can’t have a PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube, he’s nil by mouth. So, the nasogastric tube needs to be changed every so often. It was due for a change today. We obviously lined up the change for today and we then use the home x-ray company.

Big shout out here to Mobile Radiology Australia. You can look up their website on mobileradiologyaustralia.com.au. Big shout out to their CEO Simon Shay and also to their medical director, Michael Montalto. Thanks to both of you for helping us and helping our client to stay out of hospital with a timely x-ray, we couldn’t have asked for more, the client couldn’t have asked for more.

And also we kept the local emergency department empty, would have taken hours in there.

Taken away from the resources that could be used for more critically unwell patients. So big milestone today.

Big shout out to our team. Big shout out to our nurse John on shift, Penny, our nurse manager who’s lined it all up and also to Peter who was there to assist John. So a big shout out to everyone also to our rostering team who lined up the roster, to make it all work for everyone. So it’s been a really exciting day for everyone.

So if you have a loved one in intensive care and you want to go home and you want to get all the services that you get from us, to keep your loved one out of hospital out of ICU or if you’re in ICU watching this, and you want to send your clients home or your patients home earlier with 24-hour Intensive Care at Home nursing, you’ve come to the right place. Contact us at intensivecareathome.com. Call us on one of the numbers on the top of our website or simply send us an email to info@intensivecareathome.com.

And we can tell you more about our service, how it all works and how we can make sure your loved one can improve their quality of life at home. And you don’t have to spend day and night in ICU or in a hospital setting. There is a much better option for that with Intensive Care at Home.
