“There are many reasons: there are sick medical personnel in all the hospitals and quite a few, in some places more, in others less, there are close to a hundred. The second reason is that there are many serious patients and the problem is especially great with the personnel: resuscitators and infectologists, especially resuscitators ”, said the director of the hospital.
According to him, Klaipeda University Hospital still provides urgent emergency assistance in its entirety, in addition to providing some planned services. In other hospitals, its provision is already limited to the treatment of patients with COVID-19.
There have been a large number of serious patients and the problem is particularly serious with the personnel: resuscitators and infectologists, especially resuscitators.
“There is a ‘clean’ intensive care unit with about 20 patients a day and an infectious intensive care unit with three brigades. There is a problem here, because although we formally have 15 beds, it was a matter of deploying up to 24 extra beds, because no there is nothing to do ”, said V. Janušonis.
According to data from Monday, 2,478 COVID-19 patients are treated in Lithuanian hospitals, 187 of them in resuscitation.
