Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
So, today’s tip is about, “A slow recovery in intensive care after cardiac arrest and anoxic brain injury.” So, we have many families in intensive care coming to us that say things like, “Look, my mom, my dad, my spouse has gone into intensive care after a cardiac arrest. They had a prolonged downtime.” Downtime is the technical term for no oxygen to the brain during cardiac arrest, during CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). And they say, “Look, they’re not waking up. It takes a long time.” ICUs are putting pressure on us saying, “Look, we either need to proceed to end-of-life because it’s not in the “best interest” for their loved ones to survive.” Whereas in reality, patients after an anoxic brain injury simply need time to recover, to wake up.
And also, the question that you need to ask yourself is, what is quality of life? What is it? It’s a subjective measure, a subjective term, not an objective measure. Quality of life for you might be very different compared to what I perceive as acceptable for quality of life.
And in many situations, you also need to think about the quality of end-of-life. If someone after cardiac arrest and anoxic brain injury wants to approach end-of-life, maybe it’s part of their advanced care plan, then you need to think about the quality of end-of-life. Do you want to end life in intensive care on the intensive care team’s terms? Or do you want end-of-life, for example, at home, in a family environment with services like Intensive Care at Home?
