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

Today, I want to expose the 3 biggest myths in intensive care as it relates to families in intensive care.

So, the first myth is that all patients in ICU are going to die. And when the ICU team tells you, “Oh, your loved one has only hours or days to live and they’re going to die”, that is, most of the time, is a myth. And why am I saying that? Because, well, nobody has a crystal ball, and nobody can look into the future. And there are situations where you can reasonably be safe to predict that someone is going to die within the next few hours. But that’s only when they’re on multiple forms of life support.

When they’re on high inotropes or vasopressor support when they’re on ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation), and you take all of that away and the demand for that life support is going up, at rapid rates, then yes, you’re reasonably safe to say that someone is going to die. But other than that, 90% of patients in intensive care actually do survive. So, the odds are definitely in your loved one’s favor, and you should be asking for evidence, why they are so sure that your loved one is going to die in the next few hours or next few days? Most of the time I’ve seen these predictions, they’re completely wrong. And it’s very hard to predict (A), when, and (B), if a patient is going to die in intensive care. That’s the first myth.
