A Seventy-one children from Gijón have been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for more than two years (ICU) From Cabueñes Hospital for (Gijon) autoimmune syndrome that can’t get rid of it. your case, something “absolutely outstanding” According to staff, the Gijon complex he believes he’s up against is on the border. one of the “records” of staying intensive care Asturian and Spanish health.
Patient –explains healthcare professionals- Admitted early in the pandemic for a rare autoimmune disorder This causes the body to attack its own nervous system. man entered His condition was serious and he experienced critical moments during the first days of his stay., on the brink of death. week after week toilets began to marvel at the evolution of the patientseemed to suffer from “spikes” with no noticeable improvement at all. “Sometimes he seemed to have healed and could have been ventilatedand at that moment he met half of the hospital. Many of us have become very fond of him. It’s rare to take care of a patient for that long,” they explain from the hospital.
These moments of clarity are good points, but bad ones, the syndrome reactivates and the patient needs mechanical ventilation again.. In these last two years, the man became more dependent on the help of a ventilator every few weeksand that justified his stay in the intensive care unit all this time. But for a few months, Cabueñes staff began asking their supervisor for a formula for transferring the patient to another resource. Or at least forward it to the factory. “Some of the staff understand that ICU criteria are no longer being met,” they say. Healthcare professionals understand that the fear that a transplant will worsen a patient’s condition, in addition to the fact that he may never recover enough to return home, motivates this two-year stay in Cabueñes, and they think it’s okay. Could be a “record” for the hospital and a true story of overcoming for the patient who continues to evolve.
“Intensive care involves tremendous physical wear and tear: Three months in it already got you very emotional. It is truly extraordinary that he continues to progress, albeit slowly and with repetitions”, underlines another professional from the centre.
Very high economic cost
In Asturias, such cases are also counted with the fingers of one hand, and few active professionals remember caring for a patient this long in an intensive care unit. “Health administrations try to reduce the length of stay in the intensive care unit as much as possible.. On the one hand, because the patient gets very sick and may suffer from infections, but also because of the economic cost. Each day in an intensive care unit in Asturias represents more than 1,000 euros spent on the public system”, clarify health resources.
Cabueñes has been pondering this issue for months and has tried several times to put the patient down on the ventilator, but the delicate health condition of the affected person and frequent relapses continue to prevent him. They will try again in the coming weeks, and in the long run, directing the ideas to a special residence for the dependent elderly, or an intermediate resource, such as the Adaro de Langreo Sanatorium, of the seventy children.
