So far, we have run an elective program, that is, all programs on a regular basis and according to plan, and the specialty clinics have been working at full capacity. Starting tomorrow, we are reducing the elective program and interventions that are not urgent, as well as those whose delay will not affect the success of the treatment.
All emergencies, patients with malignant diseases and those in which the delay of the operation could affect the poor result of the treatment, will be carried out without delay.
The third wave of the crown took off in earnest, there are a large number of infected people every day in Serbia and our aim is to reduce the circulation through the hospital to reduce the possibility of infecting health workers and children, says Kurir Dr. Sinisa Ducic, acting director of the “Tirsova” University Children’s Clinic.
How many presumptive positive crown positive children do you currently have?
– At this time, there are no positive children. There are three children who have been admitted and are waiting for the test result. Every child who enters the clinic due to other illnesses and has some of the signs of covid infection, such as fever, sore throat, cough, is tested and in most cases it is negative and then is placed in the room where it belongs.
Are there other common, common viral infections this time of year?
– The number of “common” viruses that cause respiratory infections is growing slowly, but is common at this time of year. Fortunately, the flu has not yet arrived.
What characterizes the third wave of the crown in children?
– In patients passing through “Tirsova”, we do not see a significant difference in relation to the two previous waves. There is no significant difference in the number of children we suspect or determine to have kovid 19. I must emphasize that patients with signs of kovid infection, who require hospitalization, are referred to KBC “Dr Dragisa Misovic”, which is the decision of the Commission of Experts on Pediatrics of the Republic. designated to be an institution for the hospitalization of covid positive children, and “Tiršova” and the Institute for Mother and Child are intended to treat the most difficult patients who require respiratory assistance.
Do you have children on a respirator and how many have there been so far?
– Now, fortunately, they are gone! There were a few cases in the first wave and they were all great! We had one active covid patient, four covid complications, and a positive newborn mother. As soon as the woman gave birth, the baby with a congenital anomaly had to take a respirator and everything ended well.
What is the clinical picture of children now?
– As before. Fortunately, the most severe forms of kovid are extremely rare in children 19.
Besides respiratory problems, what else does the crown do to a child’s body?
– Kovid 19 is much less likely to attack other organs in children compared to adults. Most children have a mild picture of an upper respiratory infection, which is runny nose, cough … The heart, kidneys, liver and central nervous system are rarely affected.
Do children have clotting problems, like most adults?
– Not fortunately.
What therapy is used in children?
– There is no causal therapy, but symptoms are relieved, that is, symptomatic therapy is administered. Vitamin D3, zinc, and vitamin C are recommended to support the immune system, as in adults, but dosages are adjusted for children.
Triage: Isolation with full protection
How much space is reserved in Tirsova for covid patients?
– At first, we adapt to function in the conditions of a pandemic. All measures have been taken to prevent infection from entering the clinic, in order to protect our patients in the first place, as well as healthcare workers and non-medical personnel. At the entrance of the clinic there is a reception triage. All patients and their parents had their temperature measured and a brief interview was conducted to determine if there were any symptoms of the disease or possible contact with covid-positive patients. All patients with fever, as well as all the suspected covid cases, are referred to an isolated part of the clinic, where they are examined by doctors with full epidemiological protection equipment. Patients who request admission to the clinic, and there is a suspicion that they are positive, are admitted to a special part of the clinic, where they are cared for by nurses and doctors with full protective equipment and after tests, when it is determined that they are not positive,
