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

So my tip today is how to avoid going to LTAC from intensive care. So, we are currently working with a client that is seeing the hospital’s really playing guerilla tactics to get what they want, which is not in the best interest of a critically ill patient.

So the situation is as follows. My client’s mom is in ICU with a hemorrhagic stroke. She had a trach and now she’s slowly waking up. She’s getting slowly mobilized, and she is slowly being weaned off the ventilator very slowly.

The hospital wants her in LTAC, which is not appropriate for a critically ill patient because simply LTACs are not equipped to look after long-term ventilated patients with a tracheostomy whereas an ICU is equipped for that.

Now the hospital has not transparently informed the family and my client that when they do a trach, that they want to send their mom out to LTAC. That came as a big surprise. Again, it comes down to you doing your research upfront.

You need to do your research when you have a loved one in intensive care from day one because otherwise, the hospital will simply walk all over you. You don’t know what’s coming. You don’t know what you don’t know, which is your biggest challenge. You don’t know what to look for. You don’t know what questions to ask.
