The alarm bell rang for the young people who have chosen not to be vaccinated, the Vice President of the Hellenic Society of Intensive Care, Maria Theodorakopoulou.
As the intensivist of Papanikolaou Hospital stated speaking to SKAI, the coverage of ICU beds in the department that offers its services is at 100%, while she underlined that all Patients treated in them are unvaccinated: Patients are 89 years old up to 31. Do not young people think that they can not enter the ICU
At the same time, the call he made for vaccination caused a sensation: “Vaccinate, none of us will be left. “Half of them will leave the virus and the rest will be overworked”, she said characteristically.
Of course, the report of overwork has to do with the doctors and the nursing staff, who, as he stated, fight for unlimited hours with the small survival rates of the patients: “The virus is more destructive than the beginning of the pandemic, it hits the patients everywhere: in the circulatory, respiratory and kidney “, he explained
Finally, he listed 2 signs that should motivate us to receive medical advice or even to visit the hospital:
- “The feeling of shortness of breath is a symptom that should motivate him to visit the hospital”
- “Oxygen below 95 (based on the oximeter) must be closely monitored and when it falls below 90 we are now talking about a difficult situation”
