@irenestandsfirmtt: I don’t even know how I got out of the restraints 😅 When a person is intubated, they are usually sedated. Even though the patient is heavily sedated, they can still move. And since the body’s naturally response is to fight something it’s not use to (like an ET tube), the patient may try to pull out the tube. This is why patients that are in an induced coma or are sedated are put in restraints. Well… the restraints didn’t stop me… 😂 Thankfully I never tried to remove any medical devices from my body. This video was take in June of last year. I’m sooooo glad I have my tracheostomy and will never have to be intubated again! I will be announcing when I will leave Instagram and TikTok soon. It’s looking like I will leave Instagram in 2-4 weeks, and TikTok possibly even sooner. • • • #irenestandsfirm • • • #chronicallyill #icu #hospital #medicalhumor

hi!!! it’s because you’re intubated. We often use restraints when the pt is waking up because there’s a strong chance you might panic and try to rip out the tubing.

Had a pt get up and go to the BATHROOM one time while vented and maxed out on literally everything. She’s a unit legend now. Didn’t self-extubate either. I will always remember her name. Every time I have a vented pt she haunts me.
