Mission: To die of influenza A in the Hospital Posadas
(Mega24) Half of the 1,000 doctors who work there are concerned with the pandemic and only two hours sleep per day. There is no hot water or heating. The claim of "health emergency". Died yesterday in an intensive care room and a pregnant patient. Pediatric expect 27 guys who can not attend due to lack of beds
Posadas Hospital, the referral center with the largest number of deaths from influenza A in the country, facing the pandemic on the verge of collapse. Her doctors are exhausted, the beds are insufficient and ratify all a secret: the number of infections is much higher than officially reported. Critique of Argentina toured their facilities and Haedo corroborated this view: over 30% of consultations for acute respiratory disease is influenza, which led to five children and 13 adults.
Before entering the huge building, the signs warn: "If the patient suffers from fever, cough, cold and lack of air will be treated in the Clinic of Respiratory Diseases." Adults in the orange room, children under 15 in purple. And inside, the aisles are crowded and are clear signs of damage: broken windows, paper and cardboard on the floor, stretchers and even abandoned a dog that travels freely floor. Something undesirable to a hospital that receives referrals from many other establishments, health centers and neighborhood halls.
Doctors are nervous and tired. In a small office, Luis Luis Canievski and Lichtensztein, the Association of Professionals hospital, ensure that the specialized chambers are filled, like the beds of the different floors and the area of intensive therapy. "Yesterday we had 27 kids in the pediatric ward who could not attend," says Canievski, who admits that there is hope of Pediatrics to eight hours. The doctor says that "there is a lung health for the containment of epidemics. Meanwhile, the Hospital de Haedo has closed nearly 200 beds, which lost functionality.
The logistical problems when patients move from sector to break the isolation and the risk of power-align infrastructure failures, such as lack of hot water. Inside the guard, the doctors share a small room with bunk, a caloventor is the coldest day of the year and one bathroom. Sleeps at most two hours per night. Nevertheless, the formation of Posadas is excellent: many learn here and then go to work to the private sphere where they are paid double.
"I am as a doctor and as a supervisor on duty at the same time," he said with the evident fatigue neumon?loga Lorena Ciallella. Not they supply, even after they requested the collaboration of all physicians and suspension shift medical clinic. The social work of the Hospital, which is private, stayed home visits. And half a thousand doctors are concerned Posadas to combat influenza A.
The party better prepared for patients with respiratory diseases is the area of isolation. Opened two weeks ago, has 17 rooms with only one empty bed. The range of severity of patients is variable: from some that are built up on the couch with three other unconscious and breathing through a person awake and afraid to cough. The beds have monitor, equipment for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen. One of the all-sector doctors use chinstrap and avoid physical contact, confesses that "it took us off guard, not really expecting an outbreak and at the start of the winter."
Died yesterday in the intensive care room, a pregnant woman about 30 years, whose baby was born dead after a caesarean section, and a patient. Of the seven confirmed deaths professionals Posadas, were two babies with pre-existing disease: a premature (he was the first fatal case in the country) and another with Down syndrome. Also died of a teenager 14 years with polytrauma. Lichtensztein acknowledged that "the disease is affecting many people with low incomes, who tend to have lower pre-conditions: impact on those who are undernourished." He adds: "Just as it affects all sectors: a man died before 34 years in the San Juan de Dios hospital, Ramos Mej?a.
The situation is spreading to other health centers. Jorge Yabkowski, president of the Federation of Health Professionals in the Republic of Argentina (FesProSa), called the statement of the National Health Emergency, as the public system was overwhelmed by the disease seasonal in the last week. " The doctor explained that "although the influenza A has just passed the one thousand cases, the extent of the outbreak of influenza, syncytial virus and other germs overwhelmed guards pediatric and adult."
Meter between voters and voter
The Minister of Health of the Nation, Graciela Oca?a, recommended voting next Sunday will keep a distance of one meter between one person and another. Capital Federal, Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata and Tierra del Fuego, called "the tails are made out of establishments, as this leads to decrease the risk of infection."
For its part, the Higher Institute of Health Sciences, recommended that voters do not support the hands on the standards, not close on his tongue and wash their hands before and after going to vote.
A prosecutors were asked to avoid giving the hand to greet, "Welcome and Farewell to the voters with a cordial greeting and a smile."
