Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
Today, I have a question from Ella, who says, “Does a tracheostomy affect the brain?” It’s a very straightforward question.
It seems like a very simple question, but the answer to it is not as simple as the question, that’s why I make this video so that I can bring light to the intensive care environment for families of critically ill patients in intensive care because it takes years and decades of experience in that environment to really go down to the nitty-gritty and answer questions.
So anyway, the purpose of a tracheostomy in intensive care, most of the time, is to enable prolonged time on the ventilator and then weaning off the ventilator, a breathing tube in the mouth can only stay in for 10 to 14 days, the risks of ventilator associated pneumonia, prolonged induced coma and the negative side effects of that are simply too high, to not do a tracheostomy.
