Heavy script “A total of 496 dedicated beds for the first half of next year”
As the number of severe and severe corona19 patients surpassed 100 for the first time, 20 patients have risen again, and the problem of bed shortages is becoming a reality. There are also cases that are confirmed after death. The number of new confirmed cases, which had increased dramatically due to the effect of strengthening the distance, has decreased somewhat, but quarantine authorities believe it is still too early to be optimistic as asymptomatic infections accumulate.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) on the 2nd, the number of new patients confirmed the previous day was 267, keeping 200 people for four consecutive days. Compared to the fact that at one point last week the number of new confirmed cases surpassed 440, it appears that the explosive increase is somewhat moderate. Director Jung Eun-kyung said, “As a result of the active participation of people in quarantine, the trend of explosive growth is being suppressed.” “I don’t think it’s going to decrease.” General manager Jung said, “It is a situation where we expect the trend to decline while repeating the rise and fall.” The proportion of confirmed patients whose route of infection was not identified that day was 18.8%, which was slightly reduced compared to the previous day, but still close to 20%.
Most concerning for quarantine authorities is that the proportion of people aged 60 and over who are at high risk for Corona 19 among confirmed church-related patients in the metropolitan area and the Gwanghwamun assembly has exceeded 60%, and the number of seriously ill patients is increasing rapidly. On this day, the number of patients with serious and serious illnesses recorded 124, an increase of 20 from 104 the day before. Of these, 40 patients with severe gastric disease requiring mechanical ventilation or intensive treatment with ECMO, an artificial cardiopulmonary device. The number of critically ill and seriously ill patients from just 9 on August 18 has steadily increased to 31 on August 24, 42 on August 26, 58 on August 28, and 70 on August 30. Delivered. That’s an increase of about 13.8 times in two weeks.
When observing the age group of patients with severe and severe gastric disorders, 70 were the most with 52 (38.1%), followed by those aged 80 years or more (29, 29.8%) and 60 years (24 and 19%). Quarantine authorities said: “Severe patients with severe abnormalities mainly occur in their 70s and over, but 7 people have been reported in their 40s, so even those in their 40s to 50s need care.”
As the number of confirmed cases of the elderly increases, the number of deaths increases. In the last two weeks, 20 people died, all 60 years or older. Especially those over 80 years of age registered a high mortality rate of 20.25%. It means that about 1 in 5 people will die if infected at age 80. In elderly patients, symptoms often deteriorate rapidly and the number of cases with post-mortem confirmation is also increasing. Five of the 17 deaths that occurred in 10 days from 20 to 30 last month are confirmed after death.
Quarantine authorities are doing everything possible to secure beds to treat patients with serious and serious illnesses. As of day 1, there are 43 critical abuse beds nationwide that are fully equipped with staff and medical equipment, and 9 of them are located in the metropolitan area. There are 13 intensive care units that have been closed due to a lack of medical staff and have been converted to general hospital beds.
General Coordinator Kim Gang-rip said: “We plan to expand a total of 496 beds by the first half of next year by increasing 110 beds for seriously ill patients by the end of this month alone, providing a total of 105.4 billion won “. At the same time, he plans to secure beds for seriously ill patients, who previously could be hospitalized by ordinary patients. In addition, General Coordinator Kim said: “By designating a dedicated infectious disease database hospital by region, these base hospitals will oversee patient triage and bed allocation in the region.” It is expected that a specialized infectious disease hospital or national university hospital, previously designated by region, will be selected as a dedicated base hospital.
