Klaus Iohannis spoke about the case of the six Timișoara patients who died before being transferred to ATI, deprived of necessary care. “Doctors no longer have a place to send patients whose condition worsens due to COVID-19,” said Dr. Virgil Musta, head of the infectious diseases department at Victor Babeș Hospital in Timișoara. About these deaths, Klaus Iohannis said there was a lack of communication. “Tonight they informed me that there would be places in Timisoara, only they did not meet and communication was not optimal. I hope these things are not repeated,” said the head of state.
“It is a problem that is related to communication between hospitals and here there is room for improvement. Tonight they informed me that there would be places in Timisoara, only they did not meet and the communication was not optimal. I hope these things do not happen again and Actually, there is no need for hospital directors to talk to each other, because there is the Department of Emergency Situations that centralizes these requests and that also takes care of transferring patients to a place where beds are available, “said Klaus Iohannis.
But all this is treated very seriously by the Ministry of Health, even by Minister Tataru, who is in constant contact with all hospitals, and it has been seen that everywhere there are options to organize new places of intensive care for Romanians in need . of a place ”, the president also specified.
Timisoara: 14 deaths in one day. Six people had no place at ATI. Virgil Musta: We don’t have many solutions
ATI wards are full and doctors have nowhere to send patients whose condition worsens due to COVID-19. In Timisoara, there were cases of patients who did not resist until an intensive care bed was discharged, said Dr. Virgil Musta, head of the infectious diseases department at Victor Babeș Hospital.
“I think we are about to be surpassed (the resistance level of the medical system), somewhere where the glass is full,” Musta said.
“We are in a very difficult situation due to the large number of cases. Our hospital has oxygen stations in each room, we have support hospitals with concentrators, where the oxygen flow is not as high as in these stations. If a patient of a support hospital decompensates, we take care of it. But in our country, furthermore, only ATI can save it. The places are so full in Babe esta, tonight we have no more places, neither in CFR and the cardiovascular recovery center, capacity is maximum ”, explained the doctor.
Dr. Musta stated that he cannot stop oxygen for these patients: “We cannot do such a thing. We keep a patient who needs oxygen under oxygen at maximum pressure, until a spot is released. If he is released and if he resists until then ”.
