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

So today’s tip is about a client that we’re currently working with. Here is the scenario.

The client’s dad has been in ICU for about three weeks now. Initially he had a fracture leg that he got operated on. Initially it was doing well, but then ended up in respiratory distress, ended up in ICU and ended up intubated. He was intubated for about a week, then got extubated, off the ventilator for a few days, got re-intubated again, extubated again, after a few more days. And then he got re-intubated again because he just couldn’t breathe yet. So the family is now facing the following situation. The family has been asked by the intensive care team to agree to a withdrawal of treatment and to hospice, which basically means end-of-life care.

Now, here’s what the family has been telling us. The family has been telling us that he’s on sedation, a mixture of fentanyl and Precedex and is semi awake, obeying commands, which means the brain is working and the brain is intact. Even though he can’t talk because of the breathing tube , he can follow commands and the brain is working.
