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

So, today I want to answer a question from a reader, and the reader says, “The intensivist in ICU, refuses to try a spontaneous breathing trial with my mom. She’s on FiO2 21% and PEEP of 5.”

Well, that is a great question and I’m so glad you’re asking it so I can help you shed light on a situation like that. You’re absolutely right. The intensivist should do a spontaneous breathing trial. I don’t know why they’re not, but I’m so glad you’re doing your research because obviously you must have done some research on our website and you’ve must have read enough case studies.
