Hello and welcome to another Intensive Care at Home and Intensive Care Hotline YouTube livestream.

Today’s topic is, “Will a tracheostomy work in the community?” And that’s a question we get quite frequently. It’s actually a question that ties right in from my last podcast or my last YouTube live stream last week. The topic last week was, “Is the tracheostomy going to work?” And out of the questions that came in from that live stream, I thought, “Well, that is a question that needs to be answered as well, “Will the tracheostomy work in the community?””

So, last week’s YouTube live was all about what’s a tracheostomy? How is this going to work? When should it be used? What are the outcomes? and so forth. So, today we look much deeper, and look will the tracheostomy work in the community? Let’s just say someone needs a tracheostomy for much longer periods of time than expected. Let’s just say someone needs a tracheostomy for the rest of their life, God forbid. Then you need to inevitably think about whether you can go in the community, and we will break that down today, when a tracheostomy is advisable in the community? What resources you will need to make that safe in the community and avoid hospital readmissions, avoid ICU readmissions and make home care and home stay predictable so that an admission back to ICU or a hospital is not necessary full stop. But we’ll talk about that today.

So, in more detail on today’s topic, in case you are wondering what makes me qualified today to talk about today’s topic, my name again is Patrik Hutzel. I’m a critical care nurse by background. I have worked in intensive care/critical care for over 20 years in three different countries. I have worked as a nurse unit manager for over five years in intensive care. I’ve been the founder and managing director of Intensive Care at Home, where we provide Intensive Care at Home as a genuine alternative to a long-term stay in intensive care where we take patients home from intensive care directly. We avoid emergency department or emergency room admissions, so we deliver on what we are promising, which is Intensive Care at Home.

I’m also the founder and director of the Intensive Care Hotline at intensivecarehotline.com. We are providing consulting and advocacy service for families in intensive care all around the world. We have been consulting and advocating for families all around the world for the last 10 years, just as much as we have been providing Intensive Care at Home for the last 10 years.

We are predominantly working, or we are operational with Intensive Care at Home all around Australia. We are an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), TAC (Transport Accident Commission), iCare, NIISQ (National Injury Insurance Scheme in Queensland), and DVA (Department of Veteran Affairs) approved community service provider. We have also received funding through departments of health and through hospitals directly. So, whether you are a patient in intensive care, whether you’re a family having a loved one in intensive care and you’re considering Intensive Care at Home, please contact us one way or another.

You may also want to contact us if you’re an NDIS support coordinator and you’re looking for nursing care for your participant, for your client. If you don’t know how to go about the advocacy for funding for your NDIS participant, please contact us. We can help you with all of that. If you’re an intensive care consultant, please contact us as well. If you’re a hospital executive and you’re looking how to more efficiently manage your ICU beds and partner with your consumers, which is part of the accreditation standards for hospitals, you know where we are.
