Beds almost sold out in the Montebelluna and Costa hospitals. Guicciardini di Valdobbiadene opens next week
TREVISO. The number of hospitalizations continues to rise.399 patients in the non-critical area of the Brand hospitals according to yesterday afternoon’s report, 432 with patients in the two community hospitals of Treviso and Vittorio Veneto. The increase is 33 more hospitalizations in a single day.
The projections in the hands of the health company have taken into account a progressive growth in the number of occupied beds, until tomorrow, then the curve should begin to descend again.
Meanwhile, hospitals are reaching the saturation of beds foreseen in the emergency plan: once the 635 available places have been exhausted, to which must be added the 104 of the intensive care units, USL 2 should make use of a additional maximum emergency plan. “But I am optimistic – the general director of the USL 2 Francesco Benazzi slows down – Friday the 20th should be the peak of hospitalizations and then we should start to go down. Now we have reached the April figures as ordinary hospitalizations. Although, unlike last March-April, it is much better for the UCI positions. 33 occupied places are equivalent to 31.7% of the total available (104 places).
Red light
Of a total of seven facilities with Covid departments in the province of Treviso, the red light hospitals are those of Montebelluna and Vittorio Veneto – but also Ca ‘Foncello, which since yesterday has 97 hospitalized without critics – very close to saturation level of the activated and immediately activated bed block, which amounts to 99-100 beds respectively and 193 in total, thus counting the occupied and ready beds. There is still room, especially on the Costa, which has been a Covid Hospital for weeks. However, the not insignificant problem is related to the search for personnel. The operators affected by the coronavirus are about 140 among infected and quarantined contacts, throughout the USL. “In Vittorio Veneto in December we have the opportunity to open another 40 beds, but there are no staff – explains the number one in Treviso medical care – there are those 130-140 sick operators or positive contacts in isolation and we are waiting”.
I hospital Covid
If the situation freezes in Vittorio Veneto, ten inpatient beds in Montebelluna will be discharged as soon as the Guicciardini hospital in Valdobbiadene opens. The health company plans to leave next week, indicatively starting Monday. In Valdobbiadene the “treasure” amounts to 60 beds equipped for the administration of oxygen to patients. We will start by activating half squares, about thirty. To face the shortage of personnel, the company has signed an agreement with the San Gregorio Institutes. The Valdobbiadene Elderly Ipab has made 12 nurses and 7 auxiliaries available, while the USL will send its doctors. Other staff may be available on a voluntary basis. The project as far as the Covid Guicciardini Hospital is concerned, is to use it for so-called intermediate admissions, for patients leaving intensive care and for those who need assistance before returning home. Meanwhile, the civil protection tents to be used for pre-triage are arriving in Treviso and Conegliano. Excluding the possibility that our patients can go, in extreme emergencies, to hospitals of other Usl ”concludes Benazzi. –
