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

So yesterday, I was talking to a client who has their 69-year-old mom in ICU with liver cancer and has been in ICU for a good three months. Has a tracheostomy, is still fully ventilator-dependent, but had time off the ventilator last month, but bounced back because of a ventilator-associated pneumonia. Now, issues that his mom is facing is she’s not moving forward. She says she wants to be taken home. She’s fully compos mentis. She can write on a piece of paper what she wants so she can actually easily communicate which is very unusual for many patients in ICU.

So, what is the next step for her? Well, she wants to go home. She needs to be weaned off the ventilator, but she’s not getting mobilized at all. They’ve been leaving this lady in bed, and the client needs to push for physical therapy. And the other concern that we have is he sent us some pictures of the tracheostomy and the connector to the ventilator, and it looks like the connector that’s attached to the suction system and the tracheostomy hasn’t been changed for weeks. It looks dirty, it looks dirt-stained and it’s an infection waiting to happen. It looks like the tracheostomy hasn’t been cleaned for weeks and it’s an infection waiting to happen.
