CrimeaPRESS reports:
In Sevastopol, a patient with a severe form of COVID-19 was rescued — his lungs were affected by 100%. Doctors note that the virus mutates, often causing irreversible consequences. As medical practice shows, cases of complete lung damage with coronavirus are not uncommon.
Nothing foreshadowed, then it got worse, I arrived at the ninth hospital, they did a CT scan and immediately put me in intensive care. The lung loss was 100%, and the doctors began to fight for me, connect me to the machines. At first, I was in such a state that I did not understand what was happening, I understood that it was bad, but I realized only when I came to my senses — after one month and a week. The guys in the hospital did a great job, they just pulled me out , — the press service of the Government of Sevastopol quotes a patient from city hospital No. 9 Alexander Grinchuk.
Under the supervision of doctors, Alexander was 48 days — he is grateful to the specialists for the assistance provided. Now the man is undergoing a period of rehabilitation.
To save him, our team applied all the latest recommendations for the treatment of patients with coronavirus, as well as all extracorporeal methods that are available in the arsenal of our city. Everything played a role here: luck, young age, and the desire of the patient to live , — emphasizes the head of the department, anesthesiologist-resuscitator of the department of anesthesiology and resuscitation of hospital No. 2 of city hospital No. 9 Alexei Surovitsky.
To date, there are 84 patients with confirmed COVID-19 in medical institutions of Sevastopol, and more than 60 new cases.
I can note that over the past two weeks a stable increase in the incidence has been recorded in Sevastopol, and over the past four days it has intensified and accelerated. If we observed before the incidence within 10-15 people, then at the moment this figure already exceeds 60, — says the chief freelance epidemiologist of the Department of Health Sergiy Gryga.
Coronavirus is dangerous with complications that affect vulnerabilities in the human body. Doctors once again note: COVID has not gone away — vaccination and revaccination are necessary. This is the most reliable way to protect against disease. It is possible to undergo re-vaccination six months after the primary vaccination or the transferred coronavirus. This can be done at any clinic in Sevastopol, as well as at the vaccination point of the Musson shopping center.
Recall that the regional project “Development of primary health care” of the national project “Healthcare” is being implemented in Sevastopol, which allows providing people with high-quality comprehensive care from health promotion and prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.
