With the spread of the new coronavirus, the medical system is in a critical situation, and from last week to this week, even if the patient is in a dangerous state, he cannot find a recipient and has to treat him at home.

At the request of the Health Center, "Hinata Home Clinic Sanno" in Ota-ku, Tokyo, visits mainly patients with "moderate 2" infected with the new coronavirus.



"Moderate 2" has an oxygen level of 93% or less in the blood, which makes it difficult to breathe on its own and requires oxygen administration. As of the 23rd, about 30 patients with moderate illness 2 are being examined at home.



From last week to this week, the clinic has been forced to treat patients at home because they cannot find a place to accept them even if they are in danger.



On the 19th of last week, a man in his 50s who had been infected and continued to receive medical treatment at home suffered an anaphylactic shock with a severe allergic reaction for some reason, but even if the ambulance crew hit 50 hospitals over 3 hours. The destination was not found.

On the 22nd, a man in his thirties who had no underlying illness had oxygen levels in his blood in the 80% range even after inhaling oxygen.



The ambulance crew hit more than 60 hospitals, but could not find them, and finally on the 23rd, they were able to be hospitalized by adjusting the health center.

Kazuma Tashiro, director of Hinata Zaitaku Clinic Sanno, said, "The number of patients with serious symptoms has increased rapidly in the last few days, and patients who had been taken to the hospital immediately before the spread of the infection could not be hospitalized. I can't get enough treatment at home, and I feel regret and embarrassment. Our enthusiasm is no longer enough. We have to somehow stop the spread of this infection, and we have to take positive measures. I want to ask for it. "

I couldn't find the destination even with "anaphylaxis shock"

A man in his 50s who lives alone and is receiving medical treatment at home suffered an anaphylactic shock with a severe allergic reaction, but he could not find a destination and is still forced to receive medical treatment at home.



The man, who was confirmed to be infected on the 16th of this month, called himself 119 on the 19th because he felt stuffy.



When the ambulance crew rushed in, the oxygen level in the blood had dropped to 80%.



The ambulance crew searched for a place to accept while administering oxygen, but could not find it, so a doctor visited the hospital at the request of the health center.



According to doctors, hives were seen on the back and legs of men, and blood pressure was also low, so it is highly possible that they had severe allergic symptoms and anaphylactic shock for some reason.



The paramedics continued to hit 50 hospitals for three hours, but could not find a place to accept them.



The doctor's medication to suppress the allergic reaction has calmed the man's symptoms a little, but it is desirable to be admitted to a hospital where advanced medical care is available.



As of the 23rd, the hospitalization destination for the man has not been decided, and he continues to receive medical treatment at home while inhaling oxygen with two oxygen concentrators, but the oxygen level in the blood is only 92%.

Even if the oxygen level in the blood is 90% off

In some cases, the destination could not be found even if the oxygen level in the blood was less than 90%.



A man living alone in his thirties was found to be infected with the new coronavirus on the 11th of this month and continued to receive medical treatment at home, but on the afternoon of the 22nd, he felt suffocated and called 119.



When the ambulance crew rushed in, the oxygen level in the blood was less than 90%, so I searched for a destination, but could not find it, and a doctor at the clinic rushed in at the request of the health center around 6 pm.



According to doctors, the ambulance crew said they had hit more than 60 hospitals.



The doctor administered the maximum amount of oxygen with an oxygen concentrator, but the oxygen level in men was very low at 83%.



It means that men have no underlying illness.



After that, the hospital was decided by the coordination of the health center, and the health center contacted the man, but he did not answer the phone, so the doctor visited the man's room again around 0:30 am on the 23rd.



After ringing the intercom more than 10 times, the man finally opened the auto lock.



He told the doctor that he might have been sleeping, but I think it's possible that he was trying to get conscious because the oxygen level in his blood was 82%.



The man was taken to a hospital where he could receive advanced medical care before dawn on the 23rd.
