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

So this week, I was talking to a client and we were actually going to set up a phone meeting with the intensive care team. His mother was in ICU with COVID-19. She was on a ventilator and she was either at the stage where she would have a tracheostomy because she couldn’t come off the ventilator or she would have a one-way extubation that basically would lead her to potentially pass away.

Now there was an advanced care directive for my client’s mom that she wants everything done and she was not for DNR. And with the current crisis, with the COVID crisis, ICUs are experiencing an even higher demand in ICU beds than they usually do, even without COVID-19. ICUs are full all of the time, so it doesn’t really need the coronavirus crisis to experience high demand in ICU beds.

But anyway, in this situation, the client was locked out of ICU, couldn’t visit their mom, and was pretty much kept at arm’s length about treatment and he was very worried that the advanced care directive of his mom was disrespected. And that was exactly the case. His mom passed away without CPR, which again was against the advanced care directive.
