Pressure is mounting in hospitals and the ARS du Grand Est has launched an appeal to find caregivers. The situation is critical in the Vosges and Haut-Rhin, the majority of patients are unvaccinated.
Turning the patient over to promote oxygenation, a precise and controlled gesture that the nursing assistants at Colmar (Haut-Rhin) hospital have been repeating tirelessly since the start of the pandemic. For the head of the anesthesia-resuscitation pole of the city’s civilian hospitals, the most worrying remains the presence of increasingly young people in her department: “We have a 37-year-old patient with no comorbidities who was not vaccinated.”
Situations that the caregivers of this intensive care unit have difficulty understanding and even accepting. “We are angry. These are patients who take the place of other patients. I hope we can control but frankly we do not know what to expect”, testifies Morgane Braesch, nurse in intensive care. In the corridors, the fear of being overwhelmed is felt.
