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

So many families in intensive care come to us and they want to know when to do a tracheostomy if their loved one is on a ventilator with a breathing tube or an endotracheal tube in their mouth.

So a question that comes up then inevitably is how does a tracheostomy help with coming out of sedation and an induced coma. So that’s my tip for today. How does a tracheostomy help with coming out of sedation or an induced coma?

So one of the indications for a tracheostomy is usually the inability for your loved one to be weaned off the ventilator and the breathing tube or the endotracheal tube. In order for your loved one to be able to tolerate mechanical ventilation and the breathing tube in the mouth and in the back of the throat is to put your loved one in an induced coma because it’s so uncomfortable and painful having a breathing tube in the throat.

So therefore, an induced coma and sedation is necessary. With an induced coma and sedation come undesired side effects such as muscle weakness, deconditioning, ICU, psychosis, often hypotension, low blood pressure that requires inotropes or vasopressors, which is considered life support, kidney failure, ventilator associated pneumonia and the list is almost endless in terms of side effects.
