Quick Tip for Families in Intensive Care: My father has had a heart a attack and the hospital have had him on life support. Now they are saying his kidney is failing because his heart isnt pumping much blood round his body. Its only pumping 17% of what it should they say and because of this they do not want to operate. They have now said they want to pull the plug as there is nothing they can do. They are pressuing me to agree and I want to know if they can do that. I'm the power of attorney for my Dad.

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

So, I have an email here from Tracy and Tracy writes, “My father has had a heart attack and the hospital had him on life support. Now, they’re saying his kidneys are failing because his heart isn’t pumping much blood around his body. It’s only pumping 17% of what it should, they say. And because of this, they do not want to operate on his heart. They have now said they want to pull the plug and says nothing they can do. They are pressuring me to agree, and I want to know if they can do that. I am his power of attorney.” Great question, Tracy, and thanks for writing in.

So, couple of things here. So, obviously you’re saying that your dad had a heart attack. You’re saying his heart is only pumping at 17%. You are referring to ejection fraction here. And ejection fraction is the contractility function of the heart.
