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

So today, Mary writes in with a question. Mary writes, my father is in ICU for severe pneumonia, which caused problems breathing and they have him sedated and on a ventilating machine.

He’s 77 years of age and he’s got low blood pressure, and this is affecting his heart. We call the hospital daily as we are two to three hours drive from the hospital, but we ask if he’s improved, they just say he’s stable. The ICU tried to wake him today but sedated him again as he was agitated and in a panic. We are unsure what it all means and we would like to know that he’s getting better.

We understand this is going to take time, but we don’t know exactly what and why they’re keeping him sedated and feel they’re not telling us everything and we’re also unsure what to ask as we’re frightened and don’t want to be negative. We are just unsure of the correct questions we should be asking as we are not medically trained in any way and find it all very confusing. Thank you for your time to respond to my query. From Mary.
