In the last blog I talked about
WHAT IS LONG TERM HOME VENTILATION?
You can check out last week here.
In this week’s blog I want to answer another question that we get quite frequently
Can you live on a ventilator and tracheostomy with a good quality of life?
More and more Patients (adults and children) survive complicated critical illnesses and hence lengthy stays in intensive care on mechanical ventilation with tracheostomy.
Some of those adults and children can be successfully weaned off ventilation and tracheostomy and others can’t.
For some adults and children, mechanical ventilation and tracheostomies are simply a bridge to get them better, weaned off both devices and then they move on to their path of recovery without life support.
For others, mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy are an issue they need to deal with long term and beyond intensive care or ICU.
If that’s the case the question inevitably arises if one can live on a ventilator and tracheostomy with a good quality of life?
The answer to it is quite simple and we know from our clients that it’s a clear yes.
Picture yourself or your loved one in intensive care (ICU) or in LTAC (long-term acute care for our US readers and clients) with a ventilator and tracheostomy and you or your loved one are unable to be weaned off ventilation or it may take much longer than anticipated.
You or your loved one won’t have quality of life in an institution such as a hospital intensive care unit or LTAC but you can have a good quality of life at home with 24/7 professional and highly skilled intensive care nurses coming to your home. These ICU/PICU nurses are familiar with ventilation and tracheostomy as well as them...
