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

So, today’s tip is about confusion and agitation in ICU after an induced coma. So, one of our readers writes, “My husband has been in an induced coma for about 10 days. He’s now finally extubated and awake, but he’s very confused and agitated. Is this normal and how long will it take?” Well, that’s a great question and unfortunately, this is something that happens frequently in ICU when patients come out after a prolonged induced coma.

The first thing that needs to be ruled out, obviously, if there’s any long-term neurological damage being done, i.e., did he have a stroke? Did he have any seizures that went undetected? Has a CT scan, MRI scan of the brain being done? Does he need an electroencephalograph? Does he need a referral to a neurologist in a situation like that?

Now, other things that are very important and also common sense in a situation like that is just get back to normality as quickly as possible, and that’s easier said than done. He might still be attached to other infusions such as inotropes/vasopressors, you haven’t shared any of that. He might be on other drips such as heparin, who knows what else is going on?
