Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com, where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies and also for patients on BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), non-invasive ventilation and also where we provide home care for complex patients including Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition), Home IV infusions, Home IV potassium infusions and so forth. We provide tailor-made solutions for our clients but also for hospitals and intensive care units whilst providing quality care for our clients.

Now, in today’s video blog, I want to answer a question from one of our readers who says my father is on the ventilator with tracheostomy and immobile. He has Guillain-Barre Syndrome and he’s in ICU. The ICU says he will be in ICU for many months. Can he go home instead with Intensive Care at Home?

The short answer to this is an absolute yes. I have looked after so many patients in intensive care with Guillain-Barre Syndrome that are there for many months on end to be weaned off the ventilator often successfully, but it takes a lot of time. Patients are in ICU in an environment that’s not conducive to recovery. It’s not a holistic environment. It’s an environment that is noisy, loud. There’s no natural daylight. The lights are on all day long, 24 hours a day. There’s people running around 24 hours a day. It’s not a conducive environment for someone who needs long-term intensive care, which is what’s happening with all Guillain-Barre patients when they are in ICU on a ventilator with a tracheostomy, they need long-term intensive care to get them off the ventilator. And that’s when Intensive Care at Home is a really good solution.

We have provided hundreds of thousands of hours at home with Intensive Care at Home, looking after ventilated and tracheostomy, adults and children and your father will be in very good hands.

And if you are in ICU watching this, I can assure you your patients will be in very good hands with Intensive Care at Home because we’re bringing the expertise in our client’s home. More importantly, we can free up your ICU bed that is in high demand. That can be used for someone that’s critically unwell. Whereas a long-term patient, can be moved home.

Now, if you are an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) support coordinator watching this, and you have a patient with Guillain-Barre or a participant with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and you don’t know how to go about funding for NDIS, for nursing care, in particular for specialized nursing care for patients to go home from intensive care. Please contact us as well because we can walk you through the process.

Or if you are looking for an NDIS support coordinator, or a specialist NDIS support coordinator, please contact us as well. We have our own NDIS support coordinator here at Intensive Care at Home and we can help with the advocacy with the NDIS as well.
