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

So, yesterday I had an email from a reader and Patricia asked, my father has been in intensive care now for 12 days and he’s in an induced coma and ventilated with a breathing tube for the last 12 days.

He initially went into ICU with a heart attack and now developed pneumonia and he’s not waking up and can’t be taken off the ventilator. Should he have a tracheostomy?

Now I know from Patricia that her father is still in an induced coma because the pneumonia still has not cleared up and his x-rays still consolidated and he’s still on a fair bit of support from the ventilator.

So basically she’s asking, should we have a tracheostomy after Day 12 or not? Let’s look at this in more detail.

So generally speaking, a tracheostomy should be done after day 10 to day 14 of mechanical ventilation with the breathing tube or an endotracheal tube. The breathing tube or the endotracheal tube is usually kept in the mouth and in the back of the throat.
