The ballet of CHR Metz-Thionville patients who are loaded into army helicopters or a medical TGV is incessant. The goal: to unclog the services of the Grand Est and make room for new patients while the previous ones reach the hospitals of Bordeaux, Pau and Bayonne. Like Saturday, like this Sunday. This improves the situation for a few hours. Here is the state of play of this Sunday March 29 in the evening with the hospital management.
• Patients with significant symptoms and pending test results (pre-cohorting) : 52 open beds. 33 patients were present this Sunday morning against 25 in the evening.
• Patients diagnosed positive for Covid-19 and whose state of health requires hospitalization (cohorting): 135 open beds. 132 patients present in the morning against 129 in the evening.
• Patients placed in intensive care (Covid-19 positive and in serious condition): 100 open beds. 89 patients in the morning and 93 in the evening.
We notice that a little margin has been gained in pre-cohorting. But cohort patients must be kept waiting for places in intensive care. The CHR was able to win 22 beds near Thionville. “We will be able to open a little more in pre and cohorting, probably on the side of the private sector and Legouest Hospital, I have no doubt about it, explains Marie-Odile Saillard. But in intensive care, we have quadrupled our reception capacity. We will find it difficult to go beyond the 100 beds. Pressure will have to be put on the discharge of patients placed in intensive care, from now on ”. In the ranks of white coats as in that of the administrative staff, we no longer hide the desire to see a chartered medical train from the Moselle station. Assuming that what is possible in Nancy is also possible in Metz.
