About it the correspondent “RG” said the chief doctor of city clinical hospital named VP Demikhova Sergei Transitions.
Sergey! Your clinic is among the first returns to routine medical care?
Sergey Transitions: Yes, this is a welcome news. In the first phase, until June 5, we plan to write all recovering patients, who are in the hospital. Of the patients with coronavirus infection transferred for treatment to other hospitals.
what’s next? Just have to clean offices? But it was infectious beds. How to make them safe for routine patients?
Sergey Transitions: the second stage will process and sanitize all facilities and equipment by the medical staff. Then “Moscow city centre of disinfection” will hold its final processing. It will take a few more days. Only then will be ready to accept patients for routine and emergency medical care.
in short, in the hospital everything will be as it was before the coronavirus?
Sergey Transitions: No, the pandemic forced the city to adopt a temporary standard for all hospitals and for a time afterwards. In particular, beds in the wards will be set with a larger distance from each other. The premises should be provided additional ventilation and disinfection of air. For patients will continue to act in a mask mode and the requirement to comply with social distance. Admission is through a separate entrance, with an interval between patients for at least 15 minutes and disinfection during these periods.
Before you start working on the main profile all staff will be tested for the coronavirus. And then the staff will be weekly tests on the COVID-19. Patients before going to the hospital, will also be tested. Regular treatment is possible only in case of negative test results. The first days patients will be placed in separate chambers – up to completing a full course of surveys on coronavirus infection.
which of the patients waiting for treatment to come to you?
Sergey Transitions: we Have one of the largest multispecialty hospitals of the city. There are all areas in which we operate at a high enough level. The list is quite long: urology, gynecology, endocrinology, traumatology, neuro-surgery, purulent surgery, endovascular surgery, and many others. Will work for all, both planned and emergency modes.
How much your the hospital has cured patients with coronavirus? That gave doctors this experience?
Sergey Transitions: we Have treated more than five thousand patients with coronavirus and community-acquired pneumonia. It is a priceless experience of working in non-standard conditions, virtually “in combat”. He demanded the ability to rebuild the principles of work outside of their field of expertise, given the experience of team work, required analysis of large amounts of information for the correction of treatment protocols. And, of course, endurance and stamina. All this acquired experience we are currently still used in the treatment of patients with coronavirus in our branch office in the Medical center infectious diseases “Raven”.
you Personally school of coronavirus that has given?
Sergey Transitions: a Pandemic can be compared to war. COVID-19 worst enemy for many, alas, fatal. The fight against it became the school of life both literally and figuratively. People who find themselves on the “front line”, despite the harsh conditions, overwork, not seeing loved ones, made great labor and human feat. We learned to appreciate, cherish each other, to believe and to win.
What are your plans for the future? That will develop and introduce a new one?
Sergey Transitions: While the plan one is to try as soon as possible to return the hospital to normal life. To enable residents receive quality care, including high-tech, in terms of our hospital.
