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

So, currently, we are having an inquiry from a client in the U.K. who says that their 68-year-old mother has just left intensive care, has been extubated. She went into ICU with a stroke, and she was having a “one-way extubation.” And I’ve made videos about what a one-way extubation is in intensive care. But basically, the family had no idea what was happening in intensive care, and they didn’t comprehend what was next. She was basically then moved to a hospital ward and now, they’ve stopped all nutrition, stopped all fluid intake, and they’ve started her on a morphine and midazolam infusion under palliative care.

Now, as far as I’m concerned, this is morphine and midazolam infusion, as well as stopping all nutrition and all hydrations could be perceived as euthanasia. And euthanasia, as far as I’m aware, is illegal in this situation.

So, the family had no idea what was happening in ICU. They had no idea that it was meant to be a “one-way extubation” and she was not to be returned to ICU. She was conscious at the time she left ICU. The hospital could have asked the lady what she actually wanted, but that wasn’t done. The palliative care team took matters in their own hands.
