Hello and welcome to another Intensive Care at Home and intensivecarehotline.com livestream. Today’s topic is “Why is There a Negative Impression of a Tracheostomy? I thought it was part of the normal course in ICU”. I’m your host, Patrik Hutzel, founder and managing director of Intensive Care at Home and Intensive Care Hotline. I am bringing this topic to you today, and it was actually a request from one of our viewers who was actually on another live stream who asked the question and I didn’t have time to elaborate on it then, which is why I’m doing a designated live stream to that very question today.

We will be going for approximately an hour. I will go through today’s topics and then I will also have time to answer some questions that came in during the week. Or if someone wants to dial in live on the show and answer their question on the phone live on the show, I can also share the phone number that you can contact me on while I’m on the live stream here. So just let me know what you would like to do.

Now, before I get into today’s topic, you may wonder what makes me qualified to talk about today’s topic. So again, my name is Patrik Hutzel. I’m the founder and managing director of Intensive Care at Home and intensivecarehotline.com. With Intensive Care at Home, we are providing services for predominantly long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomy at home, but also for adults and children that are not ventilated, have a tracheostomy, but also for adults and children that are BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), or CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) ventilated that require home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), home IV fluids, home IV antibiotics, seizure management and so on. Basically, everyone that needs an intensive care nurse in the home or a critical care nurse in the home to keep them out of home predictably.

We are currently operating all around Australia in all major capital cities, including rural and regional areas. We are also starting to operate in the United States as well as we have inquiries from the UK as well. If you’re in the UK, please contact us as well. We can point you in the right direction one way or another.

My background is critical care nursing. I have worked in critical care for over 20 years in three different countries where I also worked as a nurse unit manager for over five years. I was also part of pioneering Intensive Care at Home in Germany nearly 25 years ago and we successfully rolled out Intensive Care at Home there and then just as much as we rolled it out successfully in Australia in the last 10 years. I have also been consulting and advocating for families in intensive care for over 10 years as part of my intensivecarehotline.com consulting and advocacy service for families in intensive care. I’ve been consulting and advocating for families in intensive care all around the world.
