In today’s blog I want to answer a question that we get quite frequently
Can a person be weaned off a ventilator and tracheostomy at home?
The answer to this question somewhat depends but in most cases Patients on long-term ventilation and tracheostomy can be weaned off it at home.
If you look at long-term ventilation and tracheostomy in Intensive Care and you look at the high average length of stay, the high cost, the burden for Patients and their families as well as the lack of quality of life for Patients and their families it should be a ‘no-brainer’ that Patients should be weaned off ventilation and tracheostomy at home instead of a sterile Intensive Care environment!
The average length of stay for long-term ventilated Patients in Intensive Care generally speaking is 50 days plus and not all Patients can be weaned off ventilation and tracheostomy.
The cost is enormous with $5,000 per bed day in Intensive Care and everybody knows that Intensive Care beds are in high demand and scarce!
Furthermore, the lack of quality of life for Patients and their families in Intensive Care is obvious!
This can be changed in an instant when Patients on ventilation with tracheostomy go home and get similar care with Intensive Care nurses coming into their home 24/7 and with the medical oversight of an Intensive care specialist or a group of intensive care specialists.
Most long-term ventilated adults & children with tracheostomies and their families are wanting to continue treatment at home wherever possible.
This just stresses the fact that the hospital environment is shifting towards a more holistic, Patient and family friendly environment that also provides a way more cost- effective solution compared to a $5,000 per bed day Intensive Care bed!
The evidence clearly suggests that going home from Intensive Care for weaning off ventilation and tracheostomy is possible when services are performed according to the MECHANICAL HOME VENTILATION GUIDELINES
