With Paris locked for a second severe wave of chorinavirus, doctors say they are better equipped to save lives after learning valuable lessons in the treatment of the first wave of the disease earlier this year.
Philip Montravers and 150d doctors cutters and nurses, leading them to Beecht Hospital, the first facility outside of China to report a Kovid-19 related death in February, said they have now become specialists in treating the virus.
“In the first wave, people did not dare to come to the hospital,” he said, “they were scared, afraid of getting infected, when they arrived, they were on their last legs, tired, unable to move, and so – hope! – We made them internal and airy. “
Hospitals now rely less on invasive treatments and use steroids to treat patients – a treatment that was not available to them during the first wave. If patients need oxygen, the hospital doctors distribute it through a face mask instead of a tube. Patients are also well-informed, and seek medical attention as soon as they experience the onset of coronavirus symptoms, Montravers said. As a result, patients tend to spend less time in the hospital, he said.
There are 1,915,677 coronavirus cases in France, according to Johns Hopkins University, which monitors COVID-19 worldwide. There are 42,600 deaths reported in the country.
