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 76-year-old mother in intensive care with a pneumonia. Initially, she went for a trial extubation, but she only lasted for about two to four hours and had to be reintubated. And now the client asked us, “Is there anything else that should have happened after trial extubation? And what should happen after trial extubation?” If someone is struggling, they should be put on CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) or on BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) or on high flow nasal prongs, and they should be having chest physiotherapy as well. Those would be strategies to prevent reintubation in any case. In this situation, that wasn’t done, and the client didn’t ask for it because they simply didn’t know.

Anyway, cutting the long story short, the client went back in ICU to be reintubated and then deteriorated further with another onset of pneumonia, query ARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome), also known as lung failure. And they started her on prostacyclin, which seems to have worked for now. They started her on sildenafil, also known as Viagra, because she’s got right heart distress or right heart failure.
