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

So Angela has a question today and she says, what happens if you place a person on a ventilator too soon or before it’s critically needed?

Now, that’s a great and also timely question especially in the current environment with COVID. Let me break this down for you.

So generally speaking, there are criteria that need to be made, boxes that need to be ticked before you place someone on a ventilator in intensive care. And I’m not going into too much detail now, but there are boxes that need to be ticked such as an arterial blood gas needs to be looked at. Is PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) low? Is PCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide) high? What support is a patient already on like high-flow nasal prongs, high-flow nasal oxygen, BiPAP or CPAP ventilation. Is the person potentially on ECMO? Are they proned already?

So there’s a number of issues that need to be looked at when someone needs to be placed on a ventilator. A number of people in intensive care also ended up on a ventilator after surgery, for example.
