Two seriously ill patients from Sibiu, diagnosed with COVID-19, arrived at a clinic in Germany, with planes paid for by them, because the public hospitals where they were hospitalized, the Military Emergency Hospital and the County Emergency Clinical Hospital, did not. they made. They have ECMO, that is to say, functional “joint lung”, according to data provided by doctors, Agerpres reports.
The first patient transferred to Germany, by his family from Sibiu, was hospitalized with COVID-19 at the County Emergency Clinical Hospital, where there is recently an ECMO borrowed from the Polisano Medlife Clinic, but it still doesn’t work, because you still need some pieces. It was because of this “artificial lung” that the 67-year-old man’s family requested a transfer to a clinic in Germany.
“It is the only device we have and (…) we have to give some more parts, consumables. I sent it there (at the # County Emergency Clinical Hospital). For a week they still haven’t put him in office and when I asked why they said they were still missing some parts. (…) It is an artificial lung. We use it for open heart interventions. The device is functional, we use it and after (County Hospital does not) no longer need it, we withdraw it and continue using it, ”said Dr. Paul Porr, medical director of the Polisano Medlife Hospital in Sibiu on Friday.
The former chief physician of the First Medical Section of the Emergency County Clinical Hospital in Sibiu, Dr. Paul Porr, specified that the private hospital where he currently works gave SCJU this ECMO (artificial lung) only to help patients with COVID-19.
Paul Porr has shown his willingness to send medical personnel using ECMO for patients undergoing surgery from the private hospital to the public. The private hospital provided SCJUs and oxygen concentrators for COVID-19 patients.
“We gave (ECMO no) a week ago, ten days ago, along with two oxygen concentrators, after that, on Wednesday, we delivered ten more oxygen concentrators, which we received from Medlife, they had I bought urgently and on Thursday, yesterday, I gave ten more. So they (SCJU Sibiu no.) They have 22 oxygen concentrators of us, that is, 22 intensive care beds, “said Dr. Paul Porr.
ATI Sibiu chief physician, Mihai Sava, explained to Agerpres that there is a physician at the County Emergency Clinical Hospital who has experience and could work with this ECMO, that is, Dr. Gabriela Cozmanciuc, a vascular surgery physician, who previously he worked in France.
The first COVID-19 patient to go to Germany for ECMO is a 67-year-old man, in serious condition, transferred on October 17 from SCJU Sibiu. The second patient with COVID-19 who preferred transfer to Germany, also due to the artificial lung, is a man with COVID-19, admitted to ATI at the Sibiu Military Emergency Hospital.
Basically, this ECMO is a device that helps the lungs and the heart, if it is high-performance, like the ones used in the clinic in Germany where the two Sibiu people were transferred with COVID-19.
The county of Sibiu has a contagion rate of 8.9 per thousand inhabitants, below the previous day when the rate was 9.06 per thousand inhabitants, according to the report sent this Friday by the Strategic Communication Group.
