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

So in my last quick tip, I talked about when patients with a tracheostomy go from ICU to a hospital ward and what you need to look for so that your loved one is safe on a hospital ward because the level of care will change dramatically when going from intensive care to a hospital ward. If you’re not having ICU nurses on a hospital ward, looking after a tracheostomy, your loved one might be doomed and might be returning back to ICU or even die. And we’ve certainly seen that with the work that we are doing.

Another option and this is what I want to focus on today is Intensive Care at Home. So with Intensive Care at Home, what we are doing there is we’re basically providing an intensive care substitution service at home where we look after patients with ventilation, tracheostomy, and any other medical complexities that require an intensive care nurse.

And a tracheostomy is definitely one of those situations where a patient requires an intensive care nurse. It takes years of experience and practice to look after someone with a tracheostomy. So instead of going to a hospital ward or going to a step down unit with a tracheostomy, not ventilated, but even with the ventilator, you can use Intensive Care at Home instead. So go and check out intensivecareathome.com for more information.

And that is my quick tip for today...
