Between hospitalized Coronavirus patients and other patients having to undergo an operation, places are becoming scarce in the intensive care unit.

Suddenly, faced with the epidemic pressure which continues to mount in hospitals, the main union of liberal surgeons is worried about having to massively deprogram operations.

Wednesday 2,843 patients were in critical care and they should be “4,000 around the holidays” according to the government.

"The deprogramming started again last week, their impact will not be visible by the end of the year because the activity will drop during the holidays, but the situation could be catastrophic in January", declares Philippe Cuq, co-president of the union union Avenir Spé-Le Bloc which launches "a cry of alarm for the management of patients" in surgery.

All the more so as "there is a lack of personnel in all the blocks of France" because of resignations, sick leaves or even caregivers "gone to the vaccination centers", he adds.

"Lack of dialogue" between the ARS and the professionals in the field

In this context, the injunctions of certain regional health agencies (ARS) which set quantified deprogramming objectives, as in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes or in Pays de la Loire, are poorly received by practitioners. "We have the impression that we are starting again with the same anomalies as during the first wave" of spring 2020, estimates Dr. Cuq, who calls on the contrary to "be intelligent and adapt to the territories", as well as to " maintain outpatient and screening activities, in particular for cancers ”.

"The administration must not take these decisions alone", he insists, pleading for "regional units for the management of white plans" associating ARS, hospital federations and representatives of liberal doctors, as opposed to " lack of dialogue ”current.

Another union of liberal doctors, the CSMF, had already asked the executive last week "to reverse the deprogramming mechanism and to impose the principle of the decision shared between the doctors concerned and the health authorities".
