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

Today’s quick tip is a question that I’m going to ask you. And the question is, would you jump off a bridge if someone asked you to? Let’s dive right into it.

So, you might ask straight away, what does that have to do with having a loved one critically ill in intensive care? Well, it does have everything to do with it. Let me explain.

Every day we have people contact us and they say things like, “My loved one is in intensive care. The intensive care team says I have to make a decision by tomorrow to consent to a tracheostomy or to consent to a one-way extubation or to consent to have life support withdrawn”, which ultimately would result in death. Or they say things like, “Tomorrow at 10 o’clock, we have to go to a family meeting with the intensive care team, tomorrow at five o’clock they’re telling us we have to give consent to get my loved one into LTAC or subacute or rehab.” Same old, same old.

I’ve worked in intensive care for over 20 years and intensive care teams are very good at pretending that they operate in a vacuum. They’re very good at pretending, “We can do whatever we like when it comes to life or death decisions.
