Patients have to be moved away from the intensive care units, operations are postponed again: across the country, clinic managers and chief physicians report a tense situation in the intensive care units. And they warn what that means for the winter.
The call came from the leasing company early on Tuesday. The two temporary nurses who were supposed to be on duty at the Freising Clinic at 6 a.m. could unfortunately not come until Thursday, it said. There is no substitute. Christian Fiedler, pandemic officer at the hospital north of Munich, clapped his hands over his head. How should patients be cared for in the intensive care unit?
If you speak to clinic directors and chief physicians across Germany, you will hear the same thing everywhere. The utilization of the intensive care units is increasing. “I have to get rid of a quarter of the patients every day,” says Fiedler.
