Make sure that the facility pays attention to the patients diaphragm as well. My wife was kept in the bed bent at the diaphragm for 2 months, despite my constant protest. Now she has to build her diaphragm back up (which isn't being treated as a priority). She can breathe on her own but can't fully raise her chest and fill her lungs so she needs to positive airway pressure.
I was told its almost impossible to wean at home. I think if you can avoid a trach do so at all costs. I cant get them to take the thing out of my mom even though shes doing great.
Plz tell me, is it safe to do a tracheostomy of a 6months old baby, he is on invasive ventilator due to respiratory failure secondary to infective pneumonia, Rhinovirus positive, since 6th Feb, 2021... He is haemodynamically stable, Alert, conscious, not septic. Blood gases normal. But he is diagnosed as Spinal Mascular Atropy type 1. Plz guide how will tracheostomy be beneficial and help him improve in the long run, or he should stay on invasive ventilator in ICU. Um in a delima plz comment. Infection of chances would be there too.
They definitely can't afford intensive care in the long run, which is $5,000-$6,000 per bed day. Intensive care at home is 50% of the cost of an ICU bed. Pretty much all of our clients are government or insurance funded. Where are you located?
