Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM , where we INSTANTLY improve the lives of Families of critically ill Patients in
Intensive Care, so that you can have PEACE OF MIND, real power, real control and so that you can influence decision making FAST, even if you’re not a doctor or a nurse in Intensive Care!

been ventilator dependent with Tracheostomy since the age of 6 after a horrible accident and he is now living at home with a good quality of life!

http://intensivecarehotline.com/interview-with-lorette-gijsbers-from-family-centred-intensive-care/
Listen to Patrik
and Lorette when they talk about
- why Patients and their Families in Intensive Care want be understood and not "just another case"
- why organisations who understand their customers best deliver the best customer service and why that's applicable to Intensive Care Units as well
- Why many Patients and Families in
Intensive Care suffer from PTSD(Post-traumatic stress disorder) and why most Intensive Care Units ignore it
- Why psychosocial and holistic care are extremely important and the next evolution in Intensive Care, including the after care after discharge from
ICU
- Why it's a big dilemma for health professionals in Intensive Care that they have no idea what’s happening to Patients after their stay in Intensive Care and why this leads to a myopic view about ICU due to not knowing what’s happening after critical illness in
Intensive Care!
- Why Ex-ICU Patients and their Families are a vehicle towards after ICU care
- The importance of www.ICUsteps.org as standard literature for health professionals in ICU, as well as standard literature for ex-ICU Patients
- It's all about humanising Intensive Care
- Why Intensive Care
needs a paradigm shift from “what’s the matter with you”, to “what matters to you?"
- More and more Families wanting to be involved in decision making
- The power of vulnerability and how it reduces burn-out rate for staff in ICU and improves care for Patients and their families
- How simple but profound
things like introducing yourself can make a big difference for Patients and their families in a hectic and stressful Intensive Care environment
- More and more Patient and Family centred care and approach is needed, as part of a global movement
