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

So today I’ve got a question from John and John asks, is it possible to have a tracheostomy while the patient is in an induced coma and sedated? What a great question, John. Let’s dive right into it.

So when somebody is in an induced coma and sedated, they also have a breathing tube or an endotracheal tube to begin with. Basically the breathing tube is in the back of the throat, stuck at the tip of the lungs attached to a ventilator. In order to facilitate a breathing tube or an endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation, patients always need to be in an induced coma and on sedation because it’s so uncomfortable going through that process of mechanical ventilation and with the breathing tube. The time frames of mechanical ventilation with a breathing tube are about 14 days and if you’re still in an induced coma after about 14 days and you can’t come off the breathing tube or you can’t be woken up for whatever reason, the next step is to do a tracheostomy.
