“There are elements of great concern. Not so much linked to the number of hospitalizations in intensive care, yesterday in Lombardy we had 63 hospitalizations in our intensive care units, but what worries us is the trend in hospitalizations ”. He told Buongiorno on Sky TG24. Emanuele Catena, director of intensive care at the Sacco Hospital in Milan.
“If we imagine projecting this trend in the coming days – he added – and in the coming weeks we could go from the few dozen current hospitalized patients to hundreds. This situation could potentially become very explosive and alarming.”
“In my personal opinion, Milan is at risk. Unlike the first wave, where Milan had somehow been more or less saved, at this time Milan is certainly at risk, like other areas like Monza or Varese. Milan should be closely watched “.” We realize – he explained – that the areas where patients come from are areas of the city, it is also important to monitor the number of hospitalizations in infectious disease wards and sub-intensive therapy departments. In my opinion – Catena observed – if there were very alarming figures, hospitals should not be totally transformed into Covid hospitals. Having the beds available at the Fair is an essential lifeboat and these should be used if necessary ”.
“The admissions that we have had in intensive care in recent days are characterized by a reduction in the age range – he adds – here at Sacco we have admitted patients ranging from fifty to sixty years old. They are less serious patients than the first wave. Clinical manifestations. they are identical but to date the mortality is much lower ”.
