My Dad is Only Day 6 on the Ventilator in ICU and We are Already Asked to Move Him to LTAC! Help!
Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
So, today’s tip is from George and George asks, “I have been asked to move my father to a long-term care facility because we are only Day 6 of intubation and he’s making progress. He’s weaning off the ventilator. What should I do?” That is a great question, George, and thank you for asking it.
Now, this is specific to our U.S. audience because George is talking about LTAC or Long-Term Acute Care. In other English-speaking countries, there are no long-term acute care facilities. So, this is very unique to our U.S. audience. Let’s break this down.
You’ve potentially heard me warn before about LTAC so that you shouldn’t go to an LTAC. This is another prime example that ICUs have become complacent. They are talking about sending your dad to an LTAC after Day 6.
