The image, updated to October 20, is not the most reassuring and arises from a disclosure published in the Rsu of the ‘Santa María’ hospital in Terni. Be part of the exhaustion of places available in intensive care. But are not the only ones. “The 24 beds in the infectious disease ward are full; the 9 beds in the pneumocovid department are occupied; of the 17 beds in the Covid1 pavilion, 14 are already occupied. The situation is serious.

Measurements. There is a reduction in surgical activities
The same document indicates that “an intensive postoperative therapy with 10 beds is being prepared; Section B of general resuscitation is released, transferring patients to the Orvieto hospital, to free places for Covid patients in Terni; Preparations are being made to release short-term intensive observation to obtain 5 Covid-19 intensive care beds; A total of 21 intensive care beds are being prepared, the use of the ‘recovery room’ of the operating block and finally the operating rooms is envisaged to have additional places of intensive care; a drastic reduction in the activity of the operating block is foreseen; the unification of the unit for severe acquired brain injury (Ugca) and neurosurgery has already been prepared; the next merger of the medical clinic and the geriatrics department is being prepared; At present, the regional resolution is expected to provide for the closure of hospital accesses for non-health personnel and clarity in the reduction of activities ”.

“Worrying situation, immediate questioning”
In light of the data, the leader of the Democratic Party in the Municipality, Francesco Filipponi, speaks of a “very worrying situation for the data that, if confirmed, would see an unsustainable situation in the ‘Santa María’, such as endangering the fundamental services. These are news that arouse great alarm, which would indicate a very delicate situation, characterized by an absolutely inadequate number of specialized beds. In the first useful session I will present a question to the city council to find out what the hospital company and the department of hospital have done regional health in these summer months, when the Covid emergency was more manageable. ‘to the new wave expected these days.’
‘SANTA MARIA’, VACCINES FOR STAFF: MISSING THE OK AIFA
“Risk of collapse”
The regional councilor of the Democratic Party Fabio Paparelli also spoke on the subject: “The Santa Maria di Terni hospital has been subjected for days to strong organizational and health stress that runs the risk of collapsing. Serious planning is needed as soon as possible to manage the new wave of Covid infections without dismantling hospitals and exposing both operators and citizens to serious risks to their health. What should have been done for months, anticipating this announced delicate phase. Despite the urgent requests – he stresses – from the unions, the Umbrian health operators and the opposition forces themselves, the regional council still does not give adequate answers to the extraordinary nature of the situation, which has also arisen due to the lack of planning . which was possible to implement since last spring. The case of the Terni hospital, now close to saturation, could be just the first case in a long series of structures that can no longer withstand the shock wave of the pandemic. Taking into account that, to date, in Terni, the intensive care beds are already occupied, as well as those in the infectious diseases and pneumocovid rooms and 14 of the 17 beds in the Covid 1 room are already occupied, the situation really it is serious and worrying. Thanks to the tireless commitment of the operators of Santa María, they would be looking for solutions in the race to add another 21 intensive care beds, through the use of the recovery room of the operating block and operating rooms, which will cost a drastic reduction in activities surgical , as well as with the unification of departments and the transfer of some patients to Orvieto. To date – Paparelli closes – the same operators are still waiting for indications from the Region on the closure of hospital accesses for non-medical personnel and clarifying the level of reduction in non-Covid health services. In light of all this, not having accepted the proposal we made last spring, which envisaged the use of the former Terni militia, partly already prepared to deal with this emergency, appears to be gross negligence and a political responsibility that someone will have to assume. “.
