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

Today, I have an email from Regina who says,

“Hi Patrik,

My brother is 71. He’s 19 years post dissection of his aorta and he is now 11 days post repair of his aortic arch. He is off ECMO and the dialysis but slow to wake up, although there were signs yesterday of him following one or two questions by the nurses.

He’s in ICU. The team wants to meet with his family next Tuesday and I’m extremely worried that they may not want to continue treatment. What should I be doing or what should we be worried about?”

Well, Regina, that’s a really tricky situation for your brother. Well, the good news is he’s off ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), and whether it was an aortic dissection 19 years ago or now an aortic arch repair, they are high-risk surgeries and people sometimes take weeks or months to recover. So, I’m not surprised that he ended up on ECMO.
