On the 23rd, citizens look towards the Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do. News 1
“Some of the nurses are in charge of everything from medication and treatment to treating the patient’s urine and stool. I have a fever, so I’m waiting for the corona test results. Please help us.”
A nursing hospital in Gyeonggi province where a cohort (the same group) was quarantined due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Nurse A, who works here, complained of anxiety in a call with Hankook Ilbo, saying, “I don’t know when I’ll get infected.”
The situation inside the hospital that he transmitted was close to Abi Kyu-hwan. The hospital has been under quarantine for several days, with about 100 people, including dozens of confirmed patients, negatively judged residents and medical staff. With no good place to separate medical staff and negatively determined residents from confirmed patients, medical staff are struggling. Mr A complained of “No support or countermeasures”.
Abi Gyu-hwan is a nursing hospital with confirmed and unconfirmed patients
This is not the only nursing hospital to be hopelessly affected by Corona 19. As Corona 19 reaches national nursing hospitals, many hospitals are struggling with an uncontrollable workload and labor shortages. According to quarantine authorities and local governments on the 27th, at Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, only 32 people died to date, and the total number of confirmed cases was 153. Furthermore, There were about 100 cumulative confirmed cases each at Sunchang Nursing Hospital in Sunchang-gun, Jeonbuk, Canaan Nursing Hospital in Gimje City, and Misodeul Nursing Hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul.
In general, nursing hospitals often only provide simple treatment for elderly patients, and the medical staff and equipment are insufficient compared to general hospitals. In this situation, nursing hospitals that require cohort quarantine face a situation where very few people have to use substandard equipment to care for dozens of Corona 19 patients and the rest of the interns. For example, in a nursing hospital in Busan with 43 confirmed cumulative cases, a nurse is in charge of about 40 inmates (including voice). Due to the fact that the treating physician is diagnosed with Corona 19, there are many cases where they cannot even afford to give a proper prescription to the confirmed person.
I asked for manpower support, but there was no response.
Nursing hospitals are requesting emergency personnel from health authorities, but they are said to have been unable to provide satisfactory support. An official at a nursing hospital in Busan said, “I requested to send medical personnel to the health authorities some time ago, but the support personnel did not come,” and said: “It seems that it is difficult to reach the provinces because the human resources are sent to the metropolitan area. ” An official from the Hyo Plus Nursing Hospital also said: “Recently, a small number of people have been admitted, but they are still requesting human resources.”
Because of this, even medical personnel with Corona 19 symptoms are mobilizing to care for patients. Nurse A is caring for patients who remain in the hospital despite the symptoms of going up and down 38 degrees. He confessed: “Some of the nurses have been diagnosed, so they have been transferred to hospitals and facilities,” he said. “I don’t know when the remaining medical personnel will be infected,” he said.
Nursing hospitals, where there have been no confirmed cases, are anxious because they do not know when they will face similar situations. An official at a nursing hospital in Incheon said: “According to government guidelines, visits are totally prohibited and both medical staff and caregivers wear masks, but it is true that they are concerned.” If a single occurrence occurs, the outbreak will be a moment ”, he worried. An official at a nursing hospital in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, also worried: “The only medical equipment in the nursing hospital is an oxygen injection machine, an inhaler (suction), and an X-ray, so there is no how to use it even if symptoms get worse after diagnosis. “
