As clinics prepare for Covid-19: hospitals are not for every one Coughing
After China, Italy is the country with the most confirmed Coronavirus infection in the world: More than 12,000 Italians are suffering demonstrably from Covid-19, over 800 people died. And keeps rising rapidly. The clinics of the country threatened due to the rampant Virus epidemic ends of the collapse. Doctors and nursing staff complain about Overload – intensive care beds are scarce. Also in Germany the case, are on the increase for a few days. How can a similar scenario in this country prevent?
About three experts spoke on a virtual press conference. Connected goods:
– Reinhard Busse, head of the Department of health care Management at the TU Berlin
– Uta Merle, acting Medical Director at University hospital Heidelberg
and Clemens Wendtner, chief of infectious diseases and tropical medicine at the Munich Schwabing hospital. Wendtner had treated the first German Covid-19 patients in Munich.

But the experts agreed that Germany is, in principle, better prepared than Italy on a rampant viral epidemic. Buses calculated on the example of intensive care beds per population of two and a half times as many beds were available in Germany. “We have about 27,000, 28,000 beds in intensive care units. If we were Italy, we would have based on the size of 11,000. As you can see the reserve potential, what have we got against Italy.”
In addition to the basic capacities of the health system, any clinic in the Individual prepare for the growing numbers of patients. At the Munich Schwabing hospital about a vacation had been imposed barrier for the staff, missions were canceled, so the chief doctor Wendtner. The contingency plans of the hospital had been activated, which means that the beds on the other stations made free and declared as a pandemic zones.
The Bottle Neck Of Staff
“To date, we are ahead of the events yet,” said Uta Merle, the care at the University hospital of Heidelberg, an intensive care unit with current Covid-19-patients. “We have a Station available, and have not converted to a guard station in an intensive care unit to go at the Moment in our intensive care beds.”
At the University hospital of Heidelberg, 112 respirators and 240 intensive courses are currently available. “We could increase even to Double, if we get the right equipment. Probably will be in many areas or hospitals in a similar way.” The staff at the clinic had been trained and trained. The training had also led to Fears and reservations in the workforce had decreased. Doctors and nurses are still in a learning process, after all, it was a novel pathogen.
Beds and ventilators are, in principle, make available quickly, and also stressed Wendtner. “In the end, it will depend also on the staff.” To be able to patients in Need of treat, should be deducted, therefore, to other staff – non-urgent operations may be postponed.
Doctor warns to “reasonable behaviour”
In a crisis situation, it is not necessary for a hospital might be stays reduced, also stressed buses. “Then we have the staff that is currently tied up there for the patients, where we need it actually.” Also with regard to the care of a state of emergency, he assured: “Through restructuring and preparation for the Problem is to get a grip.”
The clinics were very well equipped, insured, Uta Merle. You but warned of a rapid spread of the pathogen: “Ultimately, it’s about that not all patients are sick.” You appealed to every Individual and urged to be “reasonable behavior”. Large-scale events in enclosed spaces should be avoided. “The Virus is here, and it will circulate. The longer we can delay the start of this Phase, in which one infects the other, all the better, the hospitals can handle it.”
Also, buses warned to rational Action – not everyone Coughing should come to the hospital. “The people must think for themselves and do not need to now flock to the hospitals, to the real work of the seriously ill to hold.”
Wendtner, said: “The inpatient capacities in Germany are, in principle, available. We are well-equipped in comparison to Italy very well. We must use these resources is also very reasonable and do not block each other. Since the Patient has a co-responsibility. If we, the inpatient capacities of seriously ill Covid-have patients, then it is in a common effort in Germany is also possible.”
