Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com, where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies and where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals and intensive care units whilst providing quality care for long term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies. Otherwise, medically complex adults and children at home, which includes home BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), home CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), also home tracheostomy care for adults and children that are not ventilated. Also, home TPN, home IV potassium infusion, home IV magnesium infusions, home IV antibiotics. We also provide port management, central line management, as well as Hickman’s line management as well as palliative care services at home.

Today, I actually want to talk about a situation that we encountered recently, which illustrates once again why selecting a specialist service is so important and selecting a specialist service that is specialized on ventilation, tracheostomy at home that enables patients to leave intensive care if they’re stuck in intensive care long-term.

So, here’s the following situation. We had an inquiry recently for a young man who is in his 30s who is a quadriplegic. He is having a tracheostomy, and he has been discharged from hospital.

Initially, the family was hiring registered nurses online. There are a number of platforms online where the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) here in Australia allows nurses to put their skills on, like, an app, and then clients can hire directly.

They initially hired a number of registered nurses to look after their son. Now, it turns out as soon as the registered nurses showed up on the scene that they didn’t know what the tracheostomy was. Well, that’s crystal clear to me because no registered nurses are exposed to tracheostomies if they haven’t worked in intensive care for a period of time.

That is why here at Intensive Care at Home, we exclusively work with critical care nurses that have a minimum of two years critical care nursing experience because that would give them sufficient exposure to work with tracheostomies.

So, needless to say that the care of the family’s son was falling apart pretty quickly, and he bounced back into hospital. Now, needless to say that the family then obviously was looking around what other options are there?

Then, eventually they found us realizing because we are a specialist service working with critical care nurses that we are the right solution for their son’s care, and that’s why going on an app and trying to select nurses there, that’s fine. It’s a bit like the Uber app, where you push the button, and the car comes here. It’s a bit like when you push the button, and the nurse comes. However, no one is checking their qualifications. No one is matching their qualifications with the right client, and that’s one of the downsides.

Now, the other thing is with those online apps, they are not sending you nurses that are working with a third-party accredited service provider, which is what we are here at Intensive Care at Home..."
