In today’s blog post, I want to answer a question from one of our clients and the question today is
My 72-Year Old Mom’s Been in ICU for 6 Weeks after Stroke, with Tracheostomy & Ventilated, Can She Go Home?
Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from Intensive Care at Home with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
So currently we have an inquiry from a client who has their loved one in intensive care for about six weeks. So here’s what’s happened. The client had cardiac surgery, had a quadruple bypass, had some bleeding, and then unfortunately had a stroke after cardiac surgery. Now client was in a prolonged induced coma and then ended up with a tracheostomy. And is now four or six weeks down the line since they have the tracheostomy and they can’t come off the ventilator, they are otherwise stable. They’re off inotropes and vasopressors, but their biggest problem is that they can’t come off the ventilator.
Now, obviously the client is getting depressed, a 72-year old lady. The client is getting depressed in ICU. As you can imagine, there’s no day and night rhythm, there is no natural daylight, no fresh air, limited visiting hours at the moment with COVID of course. And the limited time that the family can spend at the bedside with their loved one is just not enough. And again, no surprise that the patient in intensive care is getting depressed and has no quality of life.
So what’s the solution for that? Well, the solution for that is actually fairly simple. The solution for that is Intensive Care at Home. Now, we can take your family member home, especially if they’re long-term ventilated. If they’re medically stable, if they’re not inotropes, we can take them home and set them up with 24-hour intensive home care instead of staying in intensive care forever and a day with having little to no quality of life and having limited chances to get off the ventilator, we can do that at home.
How to do that? Please contact us on one of the numbers on the top of our website, or send us an email to, or send me an email to patrik@intensivecareathome.com. And we can set you up from there. Please keep in mind for the hospitals, it’s a win-win situation, as much as it’s a win-win situation for you and your family, because you can have intensive care services at home instead of in intensive care. It’s a win for the hospital, they can free up a hospital bed that it’s in high demand because of COVID at the moment. But even outside of COVID intensive care beds are in high demand and we can cut the cost of an intensive care unit by 50% making it therefore economically relevant for a funding body that’s funding intensive care or funding home care.
That is my quick tip for today...
