Increased pressure in hospitals leads to a higher mortality rate among intubated patients, he pointed out. SKAI 100.3 and Vassilis Chiotis and Notis Papadopoulos, Professor Theodoros Lytras, regarding the study that they sign together with Professor Sotiris Tsiodras and was published in a reputable medical review.
Mr. Lytras stated that the data of intubated patients with Covid-19 in the country from September 1, 2020 to May 6, 2021, showed that as the burden on ICUs increases, so does mortality.
“After 400 in the ICU, the mortality rate increases, at the moment when the intubated patients with coronavirus are 700, if someone is intubated, he has a higher mortality rate than if the number of intubated patients was lower,” said Mr. Lytras.
He noted that this phenomenon occurs even when the NSS is not at its limits, while it is exacerbated outside Attica.
He pointed out that fatigue, staffing and the means available to hospitals could play a role in this development.
He added that the best way to protect ourselves against the Omicron variant at the moment is to get vaccinated.
