Eight ICU beds for COVID-19 patients, other than those reserved especially for people with certain medical conditions that are confirmed with SARS-CoV-2, are available nationally, the Strategic Communication Group (GCS) announced on Sunday.
According to the cited source, there are two free beds in ICUs in Bucharest.
As of October 3, according to information in the alerte.ms application, there are 1,431 ICU beds for COVID-19 patients. In Bucharest, 313 ICU beds for COVID-19 patients are approved by the Bucharest Public Health Directorate (DSP). Also, at national level there is an operational reserve of 118 ICU beds for COVID-19 patients, of which 53 are in Bucharest. These beds are activated, operational, wherever the number of ICU patients exceeds the capacity of the main wards. 1,440 ICU beds are occupied across the country," informs GCS.
"We are still working to operationalize and provide the necessary medical staff for other ICU beds, which will be available in the coming days. We mention the fact that in the process of operationalization of new ICU beds, the emphasis is on those intended for people who have certain medical conditions and who are also confirmed with SARS-CoV-2, because in these cases the respective patients present serious conditions that can constitute comorbidities and are thus exposed to a much higher risk," the cited source shows, Agerpres.ro informs.
The situation of vacant ICU beds for COVID-19 patients, other than those reserved specifically for people with certain medical conditions who are also confirmed with SARS-CoV-2, is as follows:
* Brasov - 1;
* Bucharest - 2;
* Prahova - 1;
* Tulcea - 4.
