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

So currently, we are working with a client who has their 80-year-old dad in the ICU after a couple of heart attacks.

Initially, the client presented into ICU with a massive heart attack, ended up in the catheter lab, had one stent put in, ended up on the coronary care unit. He was monitored there, and then deteriorated with pulmonary edema, ended up in the ICU ventilated, and is now on low dose inotropes or vasopressors such as noradrenaline or norepinephrine. He is on a ventilator with a breathing tube, is in an induced coma with fentanyl and propofol. He is on the dialysis machine for an acute kidney injury, for acute kidney failure, and is also in liver failure.

So, the intensive care team is positioning this situation as multi-organ failure and dispositioning it in a way that it’s not in the “best interest” for the patient to have treatment continued it’s “in the best interest” to stop life support.

And I mean, I find this ironical over and over again. Since when is it in the best interest for someone to die? Unless someone, God forbid, wants to commit suicide. I have yet to find that out even after 20 years in intensive care.
