  • Spike In COVID-19 Cases Lead LA County Hospitals To Declare 'Internal Disaster'

    At least five Los Angeles County hospitals had to turn patients away on Sunday, citing an 'internal disaster.' In the week before Christmas, the state averaged more than 40,000 new coronavirus infections every day. CNN reports that at some area hospitals, aging infrastructure was unable to keep up with the high number of patients needing oxygen. The issue was not the lack of oxygen itself--rather, the buildings were unable to maintain the necessary pressure to deliver the oxygen. Some hospitals are moving COVID-19 patients down to lower floors to make it easier to pump the oxygen through pipes. There are multiple issues involving oxygen delivery to patients, but generally, the problem is not an absolute shortage of oxygen. Dr. Christina Ghaly Director, Los Angeles County Health Services

  • Hospitals in Peru under pressure from Covid-19 second wave

    Lima, Jan 15 (EFE).- Intensive care units at hospitals across Peru were packed with Covid-19 patients Friday as the numbers of deaths and new infections reached levels not seen in months.The number of people on assisted breathing in ICUs reached 1,553, the same as on Aug. 13, when Peru set a new record for patients hooked up to ventilators.That statistic came from the head of the EsSalud public health service, Fiorella Molinelli, who said that while ICUs are at roughly 90 percent capacity on average, hospitals in areas already experiencing the impact of the second wave of the pandemic are nearly full.

  • California Employs Grim 'Mass Fatality' Program With Tents, Trailers

    As cases of the novel coronavirus surge, California is setting up tents and trailers to use as field hospitals to take in more patients. Hospitals are building field hospitals outside their facilities in an effort to deal with the overflow of COVID-19 patients. The state's 'mass fatality' program is for when 'there are more deaths in a given time period than the local coroner or medical emergency personnel could handle.' California has seen a 19.4% increase in confirmed cases over the past week, with more than 37,000 new cases on Monday alone. Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and UC Irvine will add 50 more beds in mobile units "equipped with running water, lighting and air purifiers."
