The situation of the epidemic is very serious, I call on people to get vaccinated, and on the other hand, I ask citizens to understand and wait to come to Emergencies if they are not the most urgent, Marko Ercegovac, director of the Center Emergency Department, he told RTS.
He said that when it comes to admissions dynamics, nothing has drastically changed in recent months: 800 exams per day, about 60 admissions.
“Dynamics has become a habit,” says Dr. Ercergovac.
He points out that it would be unrealistic not to have kovid patients among those who come to the Emergency Center: 30 to 40 patients arrive without knowing they have kovid, a rapid test is checked and they are referred to the kovid hospital.
“We did a triage so that the emergency physicians make a distinction, sometimes the temperature does not have to appear as the main symptom, but there is a cough, a sensation of other systemic diseases, we follow each symptom and associate everything with kovid,” said Ercegovac.
The biggest problem is with people who had covid, Ercegovac emphasizes and adds that afterwards there is a worsening, there are cardiac, surgical, lung problems, there is a huge amount of thrombosis after infection, literally, as he points out, all the pathology. .
Ercegovac adds that they have traumas, traffic accidents every day and there are a painful number of patients with multiple fractures.
Speaking of the number of exams and admissions since the beginning of the year, Ercegovac says that when we compare the first quarter with 2019, we can say that this year there are more, 47,000 exams in three months, more than 4,000 admissions, more than 1,100 operations. , which is a serious number.
“The years when we had the most exams: 150,000 a year, 20,000 more patients a year,” he said.
He described the situation of the epidemic as very serious. “I appeal to people to get vaccinated, and on the other hand, I ask citizens to understand that they have to wait if they are not the most urgent,” Ercegovac said.
Speaking about vaccinating employees at the Emergency Center, Ercegovac says that about 60 percent of health and non-medical personnel were vaccinated. “We have a structure that surpassed it, about 200 will be vaccinated in the next seven days,” he says.
We have been fighting the virus for more than a year. From the clinical aspect, we can know all the new symptoms, a high degree of exhaustion of all people and that lasts too long.
“I would like all of us to get vaccinated and go to the Emergency Center with a preventive mask,” concluded Ercegovac.
