Expectations for Tracheostomy Patients Post-ICU
Successfully transitioning patients with new tracheostomies home requires clear communication of expectations to both the patients and their families. Key considerations include establishing baseline settings that allow patients to engage in physical therapy and day-to-day activities without major incidents. It is vital for medical professionals to assess each patient's tolerance to these activities before discharge, helping to ensure they can maintain respiratory stability and manage their own care effectively once at home. Families should receive guidance on the necessary equipment and interventions, including the impact of oxygen dependency on quality of life during transport.
