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 (178) for adults and children that are not ventilated, Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition), home IV potassium infusions, home IV magnesium infusions, home IV antibiotics. We also provide port management, central line management, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line management, as well as Hickman’s line management as well as palliative care services at home. We are also sending our critical care nurses into the home or into a residential aged care to provide an emergency department bypass service.
So, in today’s blog post, I want to talk about a recent client that we just started servicing at home. The client is a young man who has unfortunately become a quadriplegic. He’s now having a tracheostomy and is dependent on the tracheostomy to live his daily life.
Now, interestingly enough, the family said that when he spent a lot of time in ICU, they were told that their son and brother wouldn’t have any quality of life, and they were encouraged to withdraw life support. But the family was adamant, saying, “No, we’re not going to withdraw life support. We want him to live. We want to take him home.”
After a long journey in hospital, he finally came home with the help of our service. Initially, they didn’t know that our service existed so they were trying to manage it themselves and with some support workers that didn’t work, of course, the client ended up back in the hospital all the time.
Now, we just started there, and it looks like the situation is getting much better with having critical care nurses, 24 hours a day, which is what is needed for tracheostomy care at home when you look at the evidence-based Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines on our website at intensivecareathome.com. You will see that those Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines are evidence-based and are a result of nearly 30 years of Intensive Care at Home nursing in Germany but also of Intensive Care at Home nursing for the last 10 years here in Australia with Intensive Care at Home because our service is evidence-based. This is what clients in the community need.
If they don’t get evidence-based nursing care with specialist critical care nurses, clients are at risk of dying. I’m unfortunately not exaggerating. I’ve made videos about clients that don’t get the appropriate NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) funding for specialized nursing care have died in the community, and I’ve made videos about that before. I have also evidence to back up what I’m saying here.
So, it is really important that if you have a loved one in intensive care with a tracheostomy or if you have a loved one on a hospital ward, on a respiratory ward with a tracheostomy and you see no way forward, you should absolutely contact us here so that we can help you to get your loved one home with the appropriate care so they’re not going back to hospital all the time or even worse.
