Two Patients Denied Life-saving Care Amid ‘Explosion’ of Serious COVID-19 Cases

For the first time since the onset of the pandemic in Israel, seriously ill patients were unable to receive life-saving treatment due to hospital overload. No hospital space was found over the weekend for two patients that needed to be hooked up to a life-saving ECMO oxygenation machine which supports cardiac and pulmonary function.

Dr. Yigal Kassif who heads the ECMO services at Sheba Hospital, and also heads the Israel ECMO Society (a professional union of the Medical Association), told Haaretz that a patient connected to such a machine has a 50 percent chance of surviving.
