Anastasia Kotanidou and Evangelos Balis spoke with “Koinonia Ora MEGA” about the suffocating situation in the ICUs of public hospitals and the need to organize private clinics.
The professor of Pneumology and president of the Hellenic Society of Intensive Care referred to the new cases that were identified in “Evangelismos” noting that no hospital clinic will be closed. “As you can see from the follow-up, it generally doesn’t get stuck in the workplace, but in other places where measurements are not being faithfully observed,” he added.
Referring to the ICU units, Ms. Kotanidou stressed that “how many ICU beds we open, with the number of cases we see daily, we will want more and more”, while adding that there is the possibility of converting other simple beds into ICU beds to meet the care needs of coronavirus patients.
At the same time, he clarified that it is not true that the patients who will be admitted to the ICU are selected, when referring to the possibility of requesting private clinics, the president of the Hellenic Society of Intensive Care stressed that there is no doctor or nurse who do not know how to treat infectious patient.
Concern about intubated
For his part, the director of the Pulmonary Clinic of the “Evangelismos” hospital stressed that there is concern because the number of intubated patients is increasing and cases are not decreasing, despite the measures that have been implemented, noting that they did not expect immediate results. “Perhaps the closure was too late to make a decision,” he added.
Speaking about the age context of Covid patients needing hospitalization, Mr. Balis stated that in the first wave of the pandemic in Greece there were patients in their 20s who needed hospitalization at the Covid clinic. “There were fewer incidents then,” he added.
