On the 25th, the city of Nagoya revealed that it had difficulty adjusting the transportation of emergency patients, and there were a total of two cases of cardiopulmonary arrest on the 22nd and 24th during the transfer to the hospital. All were looking for a destination as a general emergency patient, not as a patient suspected of being infected by the new coronavirus. The city believes that the effects of narrow beds due to the spread of the new corona infection have extended to general emergency medical care.
The city has not disclosed the condition of the two after transportation as “related to patient privacy.”
According to the city, when a relative of a woman in her 70s made an emergency request on the 22nd, eight medical institutions denied her acceptance because it was full, and more than 35 minutes passed since the arrival of the ambulance team. at the start of transport. On the 24th, a man in his 60s complained of poor physical condition and requested an emergency, but was rejected by 10 medical institutions and took more than 30 minutes to start transport.
All the medical institutions that refused were hospitals that accepted corona patients. Both suffered cardiopulmonary arrest while being transferred to the hospital where they were accepted, and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation by ambulance. In each case, it took more than an hour from the emergency request to arrival at the hospital. (Joint)
