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 a recent 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 that we have and (…) we have to give some more parts, consumables. I sent it there (to the Clinical Hospital of Emergencies of the County No.). It has not been put into operation for a week yet and when I asked them why, they said they were missing some consumable parts. (…) It’s an artificial lung. We use it for open heart interventions. The device is functional, we use it even after they (County Hospital no.) They no longer need it, we withdraw it and continue using it ”, said on Friday, to AGERPRES, the medical director of the Polisano Medlife Hospital in Sibiu, Dr. Paul Porr.
The former chief physician of the First Medical Section of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital (SCJU) in Sibiu, Dr. Paul Porr, specified that the private hospital where he currently works gave SCJU this ECMO (artificial lung) only to help the COVID-19 patients.
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, ten days ago, along with two oxygen concentrators, after that, on Wednesday, we delivered ten more oxygen concentrators, which we received from Medlife, they have” I bought an emergency and on Thursday, yesterday, say ten more. So they (SCJU Sibiu no.) They have 22 oxygen concentrators from us, that is for 22 intensive care beds, “said doctor Paul Porr.
The chief physician of ATI Sibiu, 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 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 people from Sibiu 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.
