There are regular warnings about the overload of the health system in Germany with the increase in infection figures. The good news: Where it’s struggling to survive, in intensive care the problem is not Omikron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Intensive care physicians in Germany do not yet see any effect of the Omicron wave in hospitals. “Currently we can withstand the Omicron wave in intensive care units,” said Gernot Marx, president of the Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, the German editorial network RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland. Even in the case of patients with COVID-19 we can even report declining figures, Marx said. On Thursday we dropped below the 3,000 number of COVID patients.<\/p>\n
Marx pointed out that Omicron is currently infected with younger people, under the age of 35, who have a significantly easier course than the elderly, and are not treated or treated only as separate patients in the intensive care unit.<\/p>\n
However the problem remains<\/p>\n
According to Marx it is expected that against Delta, where about 0.8% of the infected were treated intensively, there will be far fewer cases of positively infected, which will go to the intensive care unit. “But if the indicators continue to rise due to the very rapid spread, that is of course a problem,” said Marx.<\/p>\n
The head of the Intensive Care Registry, DIVI Christian Karagiannidis, spoke out to collect data also on Corona infections in normal wards in hospitals. “We need monitoring, which, like the intensive care unit, provides reliable data on patients infected with Corona in hospitals,” he told the D\u00fcsseldorf Rheinischen Post on Saturday. The intensive care expert said the condition could becomes dramatic in wards, where patients are treated normally.\/VOA<\/p>\n
