In this week’s blog I want to share with you

“Long-term ventilation, tracheostomy and Intensive Care, it’s time for a new paradigm!”

Long-term ventilated adults& children with tracheostomies in Intensive Care in Australia, stay there for way too long, compared to other first world countries!

And it’s costing the tax payer around $5,000 per bed day to keep long-term ventilated adults& children with tracheostomies in Intensive Care.

And the burden and not having any quality of life and/or any quality-of-end-of-life for long-term ventilated adults& children with tracheostomies in Intensive Care can’t be weighed up in monetary terms!

Our experience and service provision for long-term ventilated adults& children with tracheostomies in Australia is speaking volumes too.

The cost of providing Intensive Home care instead of providing a bed in Intensive Care is going down by more than 50%, a bed is becoming available in Intensive Care and the quality of life for long-term ventilated adults& children with tracheostomies and their families is improving!

It’s a win-win situation.

It’s a paradigm shift where everybody is benefiting.

This new paradigm for providing Intensive Home Care services for long-term ventilated adults& children with tracheostomies as a genuine alternative to a long term stay in Intensive Care, also means that Patients and their families have choice and they don’t have to go through long and burdensome stays in Intensive Care...
