“It is a relief” explains a young nurse anesthetist in post for a year in the intensive care unit of Pasteur 2. “Having staff from the operating room who come to support us is very important … we barely had a break this summer … but now it’s starting again and it’s very heavy … we’re exhausted”. Nurses who usually work in surgery volunteered after their operating theaters were closed.
Professor Carole ICHAI, head of the anesthesia-resuscitation-emergency department of the CHU de Nice took this weekend the decision to request the reinforcement of nurse-anesthetists and the opening of five resuscitation beds to take care of COVID patients ” we must be able to respond to the continuous influx of new patients “. Its peak service at the Pasteur 2 hospital already included 18 COVID beds and 18 non-COVID beds for resuscitation. Now there are more COVID beds “but we cannot remove the other resuscitation beds. apart from COVID, they are essential for traumotology, brain injuries and cardiac accidents, … for example we took care of a young polytrauma victim this weekend during ‘an avalanche“This is the most important peak service on the Côte d’Azur.
The City of Nice remains in the spotlight of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) because the incidence rate is still very high. For five weeks, it is the highest in metropolitan France above 450. A new Local Health Council of the City of Nice led by the mayor Christian Estrosi is to be held tomorrow Wednesday.
