If you want to know what to do if your loved one should have the tracheostomy tube out or not, stay tuned. I will answer that question for you today.

My name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com and I have another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So currently, we are working with a client in the U.K. who has their father in ICU. The ICU team wants to take out the tracheostomy tube. He’s been weaned off the ventilator now and they want to send him out of ICU as quickly as possible. He’s been weaned off the ventilator for about a couple of weeks, but he’s still having the tracheostomy cuff up and down at times because they don’t think he’s safe to manage his secretions and manage swallowing.

So, the intensive care team is pushing to take the tracheostomy tube out but, obviously, the family that we’re working with reached out and said, “Do you really think he’s ready if they’re still putting the cuff up and down at times?” and I said, “No, he wouldn’t be ready because if they’re putting the cuff up, then that means he’s not able to swallow his secretions.”
