The alternative for those long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy and their Families was a long-term stay in Intensive Care.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully in most European countries, mainly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland the alternative to a long-term stay in Intensive Care for long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy is Home Care, based on successful models of Intensive Home Care nursing that provide a genuine alternative to a long-term stay in Intensive Care.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, <b>Intensive Care and a burdensome lengthy stay for those long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy has become obsolete.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s a \u201cno- brainer\u201d for everybody who has seen it or worked in a home care environment with long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a \u201cno- brainer\u201d for<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patients<\/li>\n<li>Their Families<\/li>\n<li>Intensive Care Units<\/li>\n<li>Doctors<\/li>\n<li>Nurses<\/li>\n<li>Health Funds(Public or Private)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because it works and it has been proven over and over again for more than 15 years now.<\/p>\n<p>And why has it been so successful?<\/p>\n<p>Because everybody who has dealt with or looked after depressed long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy in Intensive Care knows that such a limiting and inhibiting environment that is Intensive Care can not provide the Quality of life and\/or Quality of end of life for long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <b>Intensive Care has become obsolete for long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy <\/b>and everybody who has worked with long-term ventilated Adults&amp; Children with Tracheostomy in their own home knows that the improved Quality of Life for those Clients and their Families is something that enables them to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blossom in their own environment<\/li>\n<li>Gives them more control over their destiny with the right support structure<\/li>\n<li>Enables them to look at possibilities and opportunities(i.e. go back to work, kindergarten, school, university etc\u2026)<\/li>\n<li>Be around their Family and loved ones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are your thoughts?
