Confirmed that caring for the patient … Interview with a nurse from a nursing hospital in ‘Cohort Isolation’
I can’t get past many underlying diseases
Basic care like meals are also difficult
He died without proper treatment
The government says: “There are many beds available.”
The case diagram that all patients returned
Kim Si-eun, a 35-year-old nurse at Smiles Nursing Hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul, was quarantined in a cohort (same group) during a telephone interview with a reporter on the 29th. In this hospital cohort in quarantine from the 15th to 00:00 on the 30th there were 190 confirmed corona cases19. Kim, who was working in the confirmed case ward, eventually became infected with Corona 19. He said: “I am concerned that I have to take care of 25 patients while the remaining 5 nurses in the same ward are doing their job instead of getting infected,” he said. “It saddens me when I think about the remaining colleagues and the patients whose symptoms are getting worse and worse because they are not receiving proper treatment. My heart really hurts when I see it. “
There are 37 confirmed patients who have not yet been transferred to other Smile Medical Center hospitals. The 246 nondiagnoses were taken and 92 remain. On day 16 of the cohort quarantine, the government plans to transfer the remaining 37 confirmed patients to other hospitals based on the judgment that the management of infections in the hospital is not adequate and there is concern by the spread of infections. “We can handle unconfirmed patients. We will also support 34 members of the medical staff. “
■ A condition in which both care and treatment are difficult
Shortly after the first quarantine cohort at Moodle Nursing Hospital, Mr. Kim was placed in a clean zone room that only accepts patients with negative tests. However, he couldn’t wait to see his colleagues in the confirmed room sell out, and volunteered to move into the confirmed room after a week.
He was determined “someone should protect patients,” but the scene was more disastrous than he imagined. Due to understaffing, six nurses, including Kim, cared for 25 patients. Most of the patients could not move, so 24 hours a day was insufficient even with the most basic care, such as eating and urinating. Changing the patient’s diaper and changing positions in protective clothing felt like stepping into the sauna.
Although I saw the patient’s symptoms worsen, I struggled with the lack of testing and treatment equipment. Most of the elderly patients in nursing hospitals with underlying illnesses suddenly lost consciousness although the symptoms were not severe. He said, “Even if you have bedsores, your phlegm turns black and your oxygen saturation drops, all we can do is monitor your vital signs and lower your fever and blood pressure.” Finally, 4 patients whose symptoms worsened were not transferred to other hospitals and died in nursing hospitals. Kim, who was talking about the deceased patients, burst into tears.
Kim was also finally confirmed on the 29th. So far, 68 of the 190 people who have been diagnosed at Smile Medical Center are hospital nursing workers like Kim.
■ Congested power supply measures
Kim said it was most frustrating not to quickly transfer confirmed patients to a hospital dedicated to Corona 19. When a patient who had a negative test was finally sent to another hospital, the hospital sent the patient back to the Misodeul Nursing Hospital. , saying, “A positive test was performed just prior to admission.” He said: “If you look at the news, the government says there are many beds, but the Seoul metropolitan government and the public health center said there were no beds even if all the patients requested,” he said. “It seemed like everyone didn’t know me.”
On the 27th, the government announced that there was space for beds. I’m putting it on and treating it. “
On the 28th, the medical staff of the nursing hospital with unbearable smiles presented a national petition that read: “Please rescue the patients in the nursing hospitals who are quarantined and confined like a Japanese cruise ship and are dying.” This afternoon, 15,000 people agreed.
As the theme of quarantine for the nursing hospital cohort was repeated, the government announced that it would form and operate three emergency field response teams starting today. Going forward, when there are confirmed cases in hospitals and nursing facilities, the emergency response team on the ground plans to visit the site together with the on-site response team from Central Defense Response Headquarters to respond initially. A dedicated Corona 19 nursing hospital for confirmed patients needing care and treatment at the same time is scheduled to open in mid-January.
Currently, 17 nursing hospitals across the country are in cohort quarantine with Corona 19. Taeho Yoon, head of Accident Control Headquarters, said: “Other nursing hospitals are also insuring caregivers and taking action for all the patients, “he said. “However, it is necessary to confirm how many people will be served by when.”
