Kolkata: The majority of patients who recognize throughout the Covid Icus of the Kolkata private hospital are those who try to enter for comorbidity but are tested positively on arrival.
They include the heart, kidneys, diabetes and neurological patients who do not have covid symptoms until they are tested at the hospital.
Experts say this is a reversal of trends that apply over the first two waves when Covid has exacerbated comorbidity, forcing hospitalization.
A large number of elderly patients and commorbids are treated with non-covid diseases and positively testing without covid symptoms, showing the RN Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences (RTIICS) intensivist Sauren Panja.
“Most of the 43 patients at that we are those who have non-covid infections or diseases such as the heart, kidneys, and breathing that have nothing to do with Covid.
They have been tested positively on arrival and must be moved to the Covid.
However, comorbidity They haven’t wordened their condition, “Panja said.
At the CMRI hospital too, the majority of Covid ICU patients were tested positively at the time of entry.
“They are accepted with possible diseases or may not be triggered by Covid.
But the Covid symptoms they can be ignored, unlike the previous opportunity when most ICU patients have severe symptoms that exacerbate comorbidity,” said the director of Pulmonology Raja Dhar.
In Belle Vue Clinic, also, most of the 20 ICU patients were accepted for non-covid treatment but were tested positively.
“They are the majority but their covid symptoms remain light and their non-covid disease is more serious,” CEO P Tondaon said.
The delay in the hospital, too, often triggered a sudden setback in conditions of covid patients, especially parents and commorbids, which lead to ICU revenues and poor recovery rates, said part of experts and doctors.
The initial mild symptoms turned misleading for these patients who had suffered a sharp decline in their vital parameters, including a decrease in oxygen saturation on the fourth or fifth day of positive testing.
They now form the majority of ICU patients received in private hospitals and the victim’s level as well, the highest among this group, the hospital said.
It could be at risk of assuming that all Covid cases are now light, said Microbiology of the Bhaskar Narayan Chowdhury Polyform Hospital.
“First, we still have some Delta cases that will be more fierce than Omicron.
The elderly with comorbidity will be vulnerable if they are infected with deltas and initial symptoms can still be light.
Even in the case of omicron, those who suffer from heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease or lung The lung is susceptible to a sudden setback after several days that often occur, they are taken to the hospital in a very serious condition, “Chowdhury said.
RTIICS has 48 beds in critical care with residential 43.
“This number has become a constant for the last 3-4 days.
We will constantly monitor the situation and if it rises in the next two days, then we will plan to increase the treatment bed Critical next week, “said Zonal Chief RTIIK R Venkatesh.
