The high in plant of covid patients give a break to hospitals in Aragon, but the same does not happen with Beds in the Intensive Care Units, whose occupation it remains stable. An example is the Miguel Servet Hospital that keeps 145 beds occupied; On November 2, 194 patients were admitted. A similar figure is recorded in the Clinical hospital.
There are many beds, the two centers have been supporting about 200 admissions, on November 2 the peak occurred with 226 in the Servetus and 209 at the Clinic; of them 33 and 32 respectively in ICU. Adding up both figures, the truth is that half of a hospital like the Clinic would have been filled, because there were more than 400 beds, specifically, 435.
Right now, the decrease in infections and the evolution of these patients they lower the figure to almost 300, only in these two hospitals. Is a relief for centers That they pose being able to increase The number of interventions by having more non-covid beds available. There are also pitfalls in this situation: the lack, for example, of anesthetists.
The restrictive measures imposed at the peak of this second wave are bearing fruit, with higher and less income, but where there will still be wait a pressure reduction is in the UCIS.
Since November 1, we have exceeded 100 ICU patients admitted and the peak reached 116 admissions last week. A noticeable decline, with a major release of beds will not occur, according to the doctors, within a month. We are on the verge of the hardest months of the epidemic.
