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

So currently we are working with a client that has their husband in ICU after a fall and fractures, ended up in ICU ventilated with a breathing tube. Initially had to be tracheostomized because they couldn’t come off the ventilator after being in a prolonged induced coma because of fractures and post-surgery after a fall.

So now the situation is that their loved one still can’t come off the pain medication because they are in severe pain after fractures and surgery, even after seven weeks in ICU. And because they’re not coming off the pain medication such as fentanyl, which is a very strong pain medication, it’s an opiate as well, and it’s addictive, so it comes with undesirable side effects. And their loved one is not waking up after seven weeks, can’t come off the ventilator and now the intensive care team wants to more or less end their life and say that they want to give their loved one more medications such as midazolam or versed, more fentanyl, and basically make them “comfortable” and let them die.

Move them to a hospice and let them die. Make them comfortable. Now, that in my mind is euthanasia, it’s hastening death, and it’s simply not what the family wants.
