Brasov’s Hospital for Infectious Diseases is full, and doctors have been able to reveal past COVID-19 cases with good progress or send patients with less severe forms of the disease to the few hospitals in the county that still have places.
A photo was taken on Friday showing ambulances waiting in line at the entrance to the medical unit. The image was distributed on Facebook by the Minister of Health, Vlad Voiculescu, along with a similar one, from “St. Pantelimon ”, from Bucharest. “I leave you two photos here. No, there are no ambulance parking lots, but queues in front of the hospitals that treat patients with Covid-19,” the minister wrote on Facebook.
The photo taken on Friday at the Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Brasov shows how seven ambulances wait to enter the hospital.
The doctors in this hospital work under pressure, as the addressability far exceeds the number of beds in the hospital.
“” I discharge patients who progress better or send them to hospitals that receive patients with better progress, who can sit on concentrators, not on wall oxygen and who do not need as much oxygen – Sânpetru and CFR, are the two hospitals that still They have some vacancies, so they can receive more UPU patients more seriously. (…) So we are forcing discharges for patients who anyway had to be discharged on Monday, as far as I understand, so that we can receive other patients more seriously because there are no places anywhere, the situation is very serious. . There are no hospitals to enter COVID, hospitals are not willing to enter COVID and we and the UPU are on the brink of death, ”Dr. Tatiana Meliceanu from the Braşov Infectious Diseases Hospital told News.ro on Saturday.
According to her, all 74 beds are occupied. “Where space allowed us, I think we put two extra beds,” explains the doctor. There is only one doctor on call in the entire hospital.
“We have a safe doctor on duty throughout the hospital and in the on-call room. So I also see the patients downstairs, in the ambulance, and I also see the emergencies in the hospital and there are quite a few, you know,” said the doctor.
He said that on Saturday a patient immobilized in an ambulance is consulted. “We do not have physical places to see it in another way,” explains the doctor.
The situation is difficult even for very serious cases.
“We have intensive care only by name. We do not have an intensive care unit. We have a contract and a therapy doctor comes who does it only at our request, for more serious patients, but we do not have intensive care rooms, we have some rooms in the ground floor where patients are kept more seriously, where we have more oxygen flow and we can set up CPAP (No. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) on the recommendation of the doctor with whom we have a contract, who is not permanently present here ”, he added the doctor.
