Karnataka: Only 4.4% are infected in the hospital, 0.1% in an icus

Bengaluru: The rapid increase in covid infection everyday is not reflected in the inpatient level, because the number of infected people who need to enter hospitals is less than 5% of the total active case.
Experts say 5% inpatient levels during the third wave are not a source of consolation because the amount is solely because the peak of the wave tends to cause a big challenge for health infrastructure.
On January 9 when there were 49,602 patients infected in Karnataka, only 2,162 (or 4.4%) of them were in the hospital and only 53 patients (0.1%) needed for the ICU.
This contrasts with the 2nd wave when more patients need hospitalization and ICU.
On April 7, 2021, at the beginning of the 2nd wave, the state had 49,254 active cases 353 (0.7%) was in the ICU.
According to official data, during the increase in cases in the 2nd wave, 30% of 1,27,762 patients needed hospitalization between 15 and 22 April 2021.
“At this time, the inpatient level is 4%.
The situation is better.
Of the second wave number , “said Dr.
MK Sudarshan, Chairman, Covid Technical Advisory Committee.
In the video conference on Tuesday by the Minister of Health Union with 126 doctors across the country, the global update about Omicron was discussed.
One of the points highlighted was the statement of the French public health authority which said the risk of hospitalization of Omicron was around 70% lower.
In addition, in his letter on January 10, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has directed all states to maintain a daily spectacle in the total case, those who are under house isolation, on oxygen beds, ICU beds and those in the ventilator.
The letter said 20-23% of those infected require hospital care during the second wave.
“In the current surge, 5-10% of active cases have required hospitalization so far.
This situation is dynamic and developing and inpatient needs can also change rapidly,” Bhushan said.
A senior bureaucrat told Tii someone could not attract categorical comparisons between the two waves.
“At present, the amount of hospitalization may be lower.
Our fear is the case will increase.
During the second wave, the active case throughout the country is more than 4.5 lakh during the peak.
Now, it will likely touch 16 lakh,” the officer said.
The officer said Karnataka would, in some time, witnessing the case of 1.2 to 1.5 lakh a day.
“Even though the percentage of hospitalization is lower, the number of active cases that require hospital admissions in the coming days will be a substantial number.
With 12,000 to 14,000 cases everyday, we are only 10% of our place to go.
Therefore, we too.
Have 10 more steps to go, “the officer explained.
The officer said the thumb rules in the second wave in Karnataka were 13-15% needed inpatient, 5% critical care and 2% ICU and ventilator.
“In the third wave, 5-7% will need hospitalization and 1-2% in the ICU.
After a full hospital bed 70-80%, there will be panic,” the officer said.
The health department of health and family families have arranged almost 2 lakh beds.
