Intensive care medicine “is not too far” from capacity limit due to the rapid rise in Covid-19 diseases, Linz corona expert Bernd Lamprecht said Thursday at “ZIB2”.
Measures are required to slow the development of the infection. A “modified differential lockdown”, with schools and workplaces open, but preventing free-time contacts through restrictions on nightlife and nightlife, could “have a big effect.”
Spring lock “extremely effective”
The “courageous experiment in personal responsibility” could be considered finished in Austria, as in other parts of Europe, declared the board of directors of the Pulmonary Medicine Clinic of the Kepler University Clinic in Linz that further action must now be taken. The lockdown in the spring turned out to be an “extremely effective measure.”
Lamprecht noted that the capacity of the intensive care bed, for which, because it is expensive, there is only a “small margin for peak loads”, cannot be expanded as needed. The qualified personnel required for this are not readily available. And there is no possibility of reducing other services to have enough space for crown patients. Because almost all services that cannot be delayed are provided in the intensive care unit, such as urgent cardiac operations or care after serious traffic accidents. All that’s left is to regulate the influx by slowing the rise in corona infections, Lamprecht said.
