Nikos Kapravelos, Director of the hospital’s 2nd ICU, described the fight that was given to keep the 16-year-old with coronavirus alive at the Papanikolaou hospital through SKAI, warning that “it is important that every symptom should now be taken seriously,” even if the antigen test is negative “, like the 16-year-old.
“We have had a very difficult year in the intensive care unit and we continue to have it. Many certainties were refuted. We did not expect at the end of 2021 to be in this state of emergency, the pressure on the health system is great… The intensive care unit of our hospital is full “stressed Mr. Kapravelos, and continued:
“We struggled all night to save a 16-year-old child, a little girl who came to us with a coronavirus and was intubated in a very bad condition. “Unfortunately, three antigen tests came from home. They came out negative, the fellow doctors unfortunately underestimated the situation”.
Unfortunately the child was not vaccinated
“We should, if there are symptoms, worry and go to the doctors,” the doctor pointed out.
The girl, he stressed, was on the verge of opposition with frighteningly large hypoxia. “The race started from the emergency department, we had a hard time getting it in balance all night, fortunately it reacted to the positive pressures and the respirators we used, it is already in better condition, but we were impressed, we were afraid it was Omicron , is the Delta “.
“They delayed bringing the girl to the hospital because with the antigen tests they thought it was a common cold. “Hypoxia in a 16-year-old did not show such a negative image, when of course it reached ‘over five’, fortunately we caught it… That’s why it needs a lot of attention”.
“She is OK. She responded to the treatment. When a 16-year-old is in danger, the whole country is in danger. “Unfortunately, the child was not vaccinated,” explained Mr. Kapravelos.
