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

So today, I had a phone call with a client who has their 82-year-old father in intensive care. He’s been in intensive care for about nine days now after cardiac arrest. And he’s been in an induced coma. They tried to wake him up a number of times, but so far, he hasn’t woken up. So, one of my questions that I had is, if they have done a CT scan of the brain or an MRI scan of the brain? And he said, “No”, and I said, “Well, if they stopped sedation, he hasn’t woken up, well, they need to find out whether there has been a neurological event such as a stroke, God forbid, or anything else.” And the family hadn’t even considered that, and the ICU team hasn’t even told them that.

Again, it keeps coming back to what I keep saying over and over again that the biggest challenge for families in intensive care is simply that they don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what to look for. They don’t know what questions to ask. They don’t know their rights, and they don’t know how to manage doctors and nurses in intensive care.
