Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So today, I have an email from Roseanne who says,

“Hi Patrik,

My brother had a massive heart attack. He’s on a ventilator. When reduced, he wakes up and responds to commands. Therefore, he’s not brain-dead. The doctors did a catheterization. It showed his three main arteries are blocked. He needs a quadruple bypass. His heart is only functioning at 12%. They put in a balloon pump to help his heart. They can’t do surgery until he can be completely weaned off the ventilator. Yesterday, they removed it, but after 5 minutes, they had to reinsert it. They said they would try again. My question is what else can be done, if anything? He was breathing on his own but struggled. His blood pressure went up. He’s not strong enough due to his heart. Please help.

From, Roseanne.”

Thank you so much, Roseanne, for writing in.

So, if his heart is only functioning at 12% it’s very weak. That means his ejection fraction is probably only a 12%.
