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

Earlier today, I was doing a live stream and we had quite a few attendants on the livestream. And one of our attendants at the livestream at the YouTube livestream was actually asking, how can I convince ICUs to keep my loved one in ICU instead of going to LTAC? And this is mainly addressed at our viewers in the United States. So here’s my answer to that.

There are a number of things that you can do to convince them. Number one is that a patient who’s critically ill in intensive care on a ventilator with the tracheostomy is so vulnerable that they shouldn’t be going anywhere else because they need a stable team that gets to know a patient and helps them from being weaned off the ventilator. That’s one of the reasons.

Number two is, a patient that’s ventilated with a tracheostomy needs one on one, one to two nursing care with an intensive care nurse at a minimum. Once a patient goes to LTAC, the nurse to patient ratio is often dropping down to one to three, one to four, one to five, and often they’re not intensive care nurses. There are fewer respiratory therapists available in LTAC as well compared to ICU. So the level of care is actually deteriorating.
