Does My Ventilated Dad in ICU with Parkinson's & Stroke Need a Tracheostomy & PEG Tube? Can It Be Avoided?

Is your loved one in ICU with Parkinson’s disease, recent stroke, or a subdural hematoma—and now the doctors are recommending a tracheostomy and PEG tube?

In this quick tip, critical care nurse consultant Patrik Hutzel from https://intensivecarehotline.com breaks down:
- Whether a tracheostomy and PEG are really necessary in your dad’s ICU situation
- What to do if your loved one is ventilated but stable
- How to avoid unnecessary procedures just to move patients to LTAC (Long-Term Acute Care)
- Why LTACs are often the wrong move for ventilated patients
- What are your options and rights as a family member

Learn how to read between the lines, protect your loved one from premature or inappropriate transfers, and ask the right questions to advocate for their best interest.

🛑 Don’t give blind consent to tracheostomy or PEG—get informed first.
