Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care. So today’s tip is about, again, for our audience in the U.S., LTACs (long-term acute care) in the U.S. I’ll give you a real case study why we are saying do not go from ICU to LTAC. So, case in point.

So, one of our clients has got their loved one in LTAC and the client’s family member has been there for about eight days now. And whilst the client’s family member is making some slow progress, it’s probably not fast enough. Now the LTAC is now conveniently telling our client that they have 32 days and if their loved one is not weaned off the ventilator, she will go to a subacute facility because the time is up then. That is ridiculous, especially since they have not started mobilizing our client’s family member.

In over 20 years of ICU, I have not seen patients being successfully weaned off a ventilator without them getting mobilized. The best comparison that I can give you is you can’t run a marathon without training. Now, if someone is ventilated for weeks in an induced coma, lying in their bed for weeks, ventilators doing all the breathing, their breathing muscles are deconditioned and then they need to almost be learning to breathe again from scratch.
