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

So yesterday I had an email from a reader Claire and Claire writes, my 34-year old brother has been admitted into intensive care with liver failure.

Now, the ICU team is suggesting to us to give him morphine and midazolam and let him pass away because his liver is failing. They wouldn’t recommend putting him on life support going forward. But we feel like it’s way too early to give up on our young brother and we would really like to have any insights from someone that understands intensive care. If you can get back to me, that would be great.

Well, Claire, that is so sad to hear about your brother, but here is the reality, you’re right on track that your brother needs to be given all treatment options.

The biggest challenge for families in intensive care is simply that you don’t know what you don’t know. You don’t know what to look for, you don’t know what questions you need to ask, and you don’t know how to manage doctors and nurses in intensive care.

You’re talking about literally ending the life of a 34-year old gentleman of your brother that can most likely live. You need to go on life support and you need to have the liver failure treated.
