From a well respected friend and intensivist/A&E consultant who is currently in northern Italy:
……
4/ We’ve stopped all routine, all ORs have been converted to ITUs and they are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma or strokes. There are hundreds of pts with severe resp failure and many of them do not have access to anything above a reservoir mask.
5/ Patients above 65 or younger with comorbidities are not even assessed by ITU, I am not saying not tubed, I’m saying not assessed and no ITU staff attends when they arrest. Staff are working as much as they can but they are starting to get sick and are emotionally overwhelmed.
6/ My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front of them and they con only offer some oxygen. Ortho and pathologists are being given a leaflet and sent to see patients on NIV. PLEASE STOP, READ THIS AGAIN AND THINK. 第四条:医院被击穿,所有就诊活动全部停止,转向诊治新冠肺炎
第五条:65岁以上的患者或者更年轻的但是又基础疾病的患者已经不会被ITU(我猜测应该是感染科吧)照看了。这不是在说插管,是说不会被照料,医院里面根本没有人来管他们。ITU的所有人都在超负荷工作,但是现在已经劳累不堪,接近崩溃了。
第六条:医务人员泪崩,他们唯一能做的只是给他们供给有限(some)的氧气,然后眼睁睁看着他们去世~~~其他科室的医生也被要求参与诊治了(估计在医院的都是重症了,然后他们的资源彻底不够了,重症连基本的足额氧气供应都没有)
我感觉他们比二月份早期的武汉医务人员还要绝望。武汉当时至少有希望,所有人全国的生力军都在源源不断涌来,疫情的传播速度已经被控制了,全国人民都在支持他们,坚持一段时间一定会胜利!意大利的这些人是真的绝望啊~~ |
