Managing the COVID-19 health crisis in the municipality of Caransebes

Increase the capacity to manage the COVID-19 health crisis at Caransebes Emergency Hospital in order to provide a timely and effective response to the COVID crisis – 19 through the purchase of equipment, equipment and supplies necessary for the treatment of the affected persons. Work in emergency reception centres under the new pandemic conditions is deeply affected and impacted by new procedures and protocols on patient triage and detection of Sars Cov 2. Because of this, often, patients who present themselves in CPU suffer unnecessary delays until the introduction of appropriate, urgent treatment. In this respect, this activity could be greatly relieved and it could take a lot of time to make the best therapeutic decisions and for all patients, regardless of infection or non-infection with Sarscov2 to be quickly managed and to have unconditional and unhindered access to the required emergency treatment, if we had a medical analysis apparatus that could quickly carry out the Sars Cov 2 test with high sensitivity and specificity and low costs per investigation, within the emergency department. This could quickly make efficient triage of patients without waiting for a long period of time before receiving the results of the analyses conducted in a classic way and more effectively using the existing Covid or NonCovid circuits in the hospital. In the case of SMU Caransebeș, the infectious and pneumology departments, where the vast majority of infected patients or Covid 19 suspects are admitted, operate in flag systems, which are approximately 3 km away from the hospital’s main body, where the radiology and imaging laboratory is located. Given that the symptoms of these patients may change within a few tens of minutes, it is imperative that they be able to benefit from radiological investigations as soon as possible. Currently, these patients are transferred to the radiology laboratory following the official and legal protocol, which involves transporting them through the ambulance called through the 112 system. Please note that this relocation procedure often involves unnecessary loss of time, given that the availability of the ambulance varies according to priorities, often it is necessary to wait two to three hours until an available ambulance is released. In the same context, we mention that the transfer of the patient unnecessarily creates the prerequisites for a possible transmission of the disease to exposed healthcare professionals and, last but not least, wastes of material and medical resources through the dismissal of the ambulance (which could serve other emergencies during this time). Patients in serious condition, infected with Covid 19, admitted to the ITA section should
