Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
So one of our readers, Tracy, writes in that her dad who’s 75 had severe sepsis and is struggling to wean off the ventilator. He’s been in ICU now for 15 days.
Now, Tracy, here is my tip for you to deal with this situation.
Severe sepsis is one of the most critical pictures that ICU teams deal with. So often what happens during a severe sepsis, patients are on ventilation, they are in an induced coma. They are on inotropes or vasopressors to keep them alive. They often go into kidney failure. They end up on dialysis. They have invasive catheters in such as a swan ganz or a PA catheter to measure their cardiac output or cardiac index because often the heart is also compromised or cardiac output is often compromised during sepsis. So the picture during sepsis is very critical.
There are many things happening simultaneously to keep the patient alive and get them through that septic picture. So therefore, your father would be very, very weak during such a sepsis and also coming out of the sepsis, so no surprise to me that your dad is having difficulties coming off the ventilator after what he’s been through.
