Somethin 'Health ordered to MDA to deliver only urgent cases Haemek Hospital, Kaplan and Brazil, due to extreme stress emergency room. The problem: Kaplan Brazil are usually neighbors "mops" each other - and patients will be evacuated to hospitals in remote locations.

In addition, the Association of Pediatrics warns that children's wards on the brink of collapse with 150-200 percent occupancy


However, as children's department manager explains Dr. Yitzhak Berlowitz, a state of extreme stress, the medical staff are facing two dangers Vmaushpazam major: errors by the crew busy, and the danger of infection from patient to patient adherence.



Wolfson is the only hospital in serious trouble. Pediatricians union warned yesterday that there is an intolerable burden on emergency departments for children kids rooms throughout the country.

Wolfson Children Department records the highest occupancy day (188%) but in others the situation alarming: Hadassah - Ein Kerem (175%), Assaf Harofeh (168%), Schneider (159%), Hillel Yaffe (155%), Exchange Jupiter (154%), Laniado (146%), Soroka (142%) Ichilov (139%).



Yesterday (Sunday) were closed for several hours the emergency rooms of hospitals in Afula valley, Kaplan, streets and Barzilai in Ashkelon.



The last day approached many doctors in many hospitals the Health Ministry and asked to instruct the MDA does not refer to patients, but the Ministry of Health toughened the policy in light of the situation in all hospitals. "We do not allow more regulation of hospital emergency rooms because all load hospitals, said today Ynet Health Ministry official, "one emergency closing leading to pressure on hospital since."



Between hospitals that faced the last day reported stress and a desire to regulate the number of hours emergency patients include Ichilov in Tel - Aviv, Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petah - Tikva, Afula Valley, Caramel and Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Wolfson, Barzilai in Ashkelon and Kaplan streets.



Health Ministry data shows that internal departments and high occupancy rates were: Hadassah - Ein Kerem (173%), Hadassah Mount Scopus (159%), Laniado (158%), Shaare Zedek (148%), Brazil (136%), Nahariya ( 129%), Beilinson (123%) Ichilov (121%).



Further revealed that as of yesterday there were 800 patients on respirators in hospitals, with 500 of them were out of intensive care units, which puts them in danger and requires special personnel allocation. Ministry of Health noted that such a high number of respirators is not registered in the past two years.



Data from the Centers for Disease Control Ministry of Health indicate that the incidence of flu is similar to the average rate in previous years and morbidity of pneumonia is slightly higher than in previous years. Therefore, doctors did not clear-cut what makes the finals so much pressure on ERs and internal departments.


Sisters: "We do not provide proper care"

Ilana Cohen, Chairperson of the nurses union, warns today in a letter sent Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman that nurses can not meet the burden of treatment wards where occupancy stands at 150% or more. "The most difficult at the time, patients lay in beds placed neglected corridors and crossings in front of all, hurting our ability to provide them with care," she wrote. She noted that although hospitalized patients on respirators departments of many personnel do not reinforced accordingly.



She warned that if in two weeks is not found a solution, the nurses will not allow


Hospitalization of patients in departments across the fix permanent beds. "The nurses are unable to provide proper care and safe, they will need to close the gates each time deviate departments from several licensed beds."



Meanwhile, 34-year-old woman, a mother of two from the north, is hospitalized in serious condition due to complication of the flu. The woman, with no comorbidities, was admitted to Valley Hospital in Afula and suffered serious health complication. She was transferred Lbilnson ECMO device was connected to a machine that replaces the lung activity.

Shortage of hospitalization in Israel again raised its head, and hospitals are reporting an unprecedented load hospitalization following a wave of residents who suffer from complications of winter diseases. For the Ministry of Health is an ongoing distress, which reached a peak last year also led to a high load during the summer.

Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman recently concluded in principle with the Treasury on the addition of 960 beds in a gradual manner to six years in an attempt to cope with the load, as revealed last week in Haaretz. Dr. Hezi Levy, is the Medical Director, Ministry of Health is responsible for general care system in the country.

Will it be possible to eliminate the phenomenon of patients the hospital corridors?

"The addition of beds is accompanied with the relevant personnel. By the addition of beds and infrastructure could be dealing with this phenomenon, although in winter as the world, we are expected to load in the future. Extra beds will boost short term only. At the same time we are working on strategic plan Planning and work to establish a body to adjust the order of Director General of Infrastructure to 2020 hospitals. "

Ministry of Finance claimed that hospitals are interested in hospitalized patients in the corridors, they are to get extra manpower standards, and because the hallway patient hospitalization costs low.

"Hospitals want to treat patients who do not want to hospitalize patients in the corridors. In relation to the world, we notice several phenomena that contradict the claim of Finance: The rate of general hospital beds in the country is almost in last place compared to Western countries, and the number of patients per bed is the highest; duration of hospitalization days in Israel is short in the west. So how does this argument that hospitals want to admit? You can not say that the hospital such as Brazil would like to admit 56 patients standard ward has 36 beds only. It's nonsense. "

Where Yaspso the hospital by the proposed solution?

"In some hospitals already have infrastructure to add classes. In hospitals were construction projects in recent years, vision of the rise in population and the need for additional beds over the years. But it is true that some of the hospitals do not provide infrastructure. For example, at the Barzilai hospital in Ashkelon, we break the head where you can add more beds to get more patients highlights. In the first phase we will add beds mainly in hospitals today who can add them to existing infrastructure. "

Does the addition of beds planned will add teams to hospital personnel, or the addition of infrastructure only?

"Another committee at the Ministry of Health, has just completed its work, reviewed the existing standards in hospitals. The Committee recommended additions to the health system physicians, regardless of extra beds. Had not yet begun negotiations with the Treasury, but will enter the process soon, adding that the personnel can vastly upgrade the health system's ability to cope with the changing morbidity, especially in departments of internal larvae. "

You also takes emergency measures?

"We are currently mapping the medical administration vacancies in geriatric institutions in order to geriatric patients appropriate internal departments in general hospitals. Is the extent of dozens of patients."

Haemek Hospital in Afula told yesterday sorting patients staying more than a day because the load.

"There are departments sorting lag ever, patients can be treated. Load current causes long stay patients than planned delay departments, but should be emphasized that Mmakbelym where medical treatment, even those not of class conditions."

According to the Ministry of Health, As of yesterday, in 800 patients hospitalized patients on respirators, including 443 patients outside the ICU. How the Ministry of Health addresses the alarming phenomenon?

"Currently some patients ventilated patients intermediate units and internal departments, and intensive care, not just the problem of the periphery, but also in major hospitals. Today a major competition in intensive care hospitalization, that infrastructure is expensive. In any case, plus the planned beds will be added also ICU beds in an attempt to improve the situation. "

As far as negotiations on the extra beds are currently associated with ongoing negotiations between the Treasury IMA doctors wage agreements in the public sector?

"As fate would have proximity of time, but no connection. Activity additional hospital beds is part of the duty of the Ministry of Health for core goals recently set by the CEO arranging hospitalization system in Israel. Moreover, the Ministry of Health both regulator and as an employer takes part in negotiations over wage agreements, and some subjects will also well there. "

Is this more serious winter in terms of morbidity?

"Distress associated with an increased hospitalization typical seasonal winter illnesses, but unfortunately also tied too low to respond to the public's flu vaccine. We believe the vaccine is one of the most powerful means to prevent flu illness. In adults there is a reasonable response to the vaccine, but children up to age five is the Ministry of risk group Health calls her vaccinated for the second year, and year drop in vaccination of children up to age five to less than 20% Matahssanym, at certain ages even decrease the number of single digits. was the Year "false eye" because there was no winter, and there was no morbidity, but now the effect appears, still be vaccinated. vaccine this year also effective against seasonal flu and swine flu.

Emergency rooms in three hospitals were closed because of congestion: the Ministry of Health ordered the MDA to regulate emergency cases in hospital emergency rooms in the valley in Afula, Kaplan, streets and Barzilai in Ashkelon. In addition, the public area of the valley is called first contact and sort of family physicians, except in cases of life-saving. emergency rooms and trauma victims will continue to take other urgent cases, received by patients coming to hospitals on their own. Kaplan noted the emergency room will open again to get sick MDA at 18:00.



The second time within a few days in the valley where the emergency was closed due to overload. Last Wednesday, the hospital was closed following an exceptional burden on emergency departments and hospitalization.





Kaplan's cases Brazil, they are neighboring hospitals, even more problematic because there is no other hospital in the area close to where patients can be referred,

There is a need to transport patients to hospitals is relatively remote as Sheba, Assaf Harofeh or Soroka in Be'er Sheva. Kaplan Nemsa main reason for the exceptional strain of the hospital emergency room is the regulation of patients from Brazil.



If not enough strain on emergency rooms, union pediatricians warn that there is an intolerable burden on emergency departments for children kids rooms throughout the country. Union statement noted that children's wards occupancy stands at 150-200 percent. Union warned departments are facing collapse.

Increase in morbidity associated with flu complications including pneumonia, ear infections and respiratory illnesses that require hospitalization wards the children in the ICU. Guild noted that the burden on the community clinics had increased substantially.



Professor Matthew Berkowitz, chairman of the Pediatric Association, said: "We urge parents to rush to vaccinate their children against the flu in light weather. Many parents make the mistake and think that if there is no winter rain does not come and flu, but to become the opposite. Impact is already here and still not too late to be vaccinated. "

http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4008321,00.html

If these counts and categories are validated, appearances suggest that 800 are on some form of assisted respiration (machine / manual), but that only 357 are in proper ICU bed isolation. Roughly 47% that need Intensive Care are installed into critical care rooms and 53% are either in the hallways or in standard rooms without the necessary equipment specialised for acute care.

Spread is guaranteed.

Regardless of perfect Infection Control protocol, respiratory droplets, delivery surfaces and even attendant's clothing cannot be sanitised. Gloving and re-gloving, masking and re-masking, at that rate of care delivery may expend a hospital's supply over less than 2 days in some cases. Hospital laundry will become a transfer vector.

Are family members sitting in the hallways attending to their sick?

The ministry said that a 34- year-old woman without any chronic diseases was in serious condition with flu complications at the Rabin Medical Center- Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva after being transferred there from Emek Medical Center in Afula.

At the same time that the hospitals have a severe shortage of beds, the Yad Sarah organization said that it too lacks hospital beds for lending out to people for use in their homes.
