Ladjevic told RTS Sunday night that an entire facility in Batajnica had been filled with 400 beds.
– Unfortunately, a new facility was opened, which until now has not had to be opened. Another floor with 102 beds has been opened and it is quite full, and in the first building B there is an intensive care unit and in that unit there are almost 90 patients on mechanical ventilation. These are patients with respirators, about 40 have been intubated – emphasizes the coordinator of all kovid hospitals.
Ladjevic says that when a patient is on mechanical ventilation, the survival rate is 30 to 40 percent.
Since March, as he said, there are great experiences and we can talk about the numbers, what is that percentage.
He adds that they are all very difficult patients and require a lot of care.
– Treatment protocols are unique for the whole of Serbia, they apply absolutely and have the possibility of being applied. I cannot control the whole of Serbia, whether it is applied to the last detail, but it is understood that it is applied because they are written very strictly and clearly, both gradually and procedurally – says Lađević.
Dr. Lađević also explained the procedure of what to do with a patient who tested positive. It is recommended to arrive on time and be examined.
– First you go to the ambulance. This is where the primary staging is done, whether you have a more severe or mild form of the disease. If that form is milder, medication will be prescribed and the patient will return home and a check-up will be scheduled – explains the doctor.
When it is concluded in the kovid clinic that the disease is progressing, that it is going in the wrong direction, that the basic therapy did not work, then said patient is sent to classification places within hospitals such as the Infectious Diseases Clinic, Bežanijska kosa, KBC “Dragiša Mišović” and there for another triage, says Lađević.
Hospitals usually perform a lung scan and assess whether the patient can continue treatment at home or needs to be hospitalized.
At that time, he is provided with a place in the hospital and continues his hospital treatment, Lađević adds.
