trying to take care of the patients before they got to children s wisconsin? i think we touched on it earlier. yeah, and i would like to reiterate that, dr. drendel spoke very well about the appreciation and gratitude we have to those first responders and other hospitals that provided tremendous support and exceptional stabilization of patients that is so critical, especially in the first few minutes after an event like this. providing that stabilization allows the child the best opportunity to have the best outcome, and so the teams that provided that support, whether it was in the field or at other hospitals outside of children s wisconsin did an exceptional job, and the patients that were transferred to children s allowed the team there to pick up that care and continue on the trajectory of care that was necessary as dr. drendel mentioned. yeah, i d like to reiterate, the ems providers responded at
from a patient standpoint, there were 18 patients who came to children s and ten of them were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. i ll briefly go through their conditions, but will not share any specific details about individual patients. currently we have six patients who we list in critical condition, three that are in serious and one that is in fair. we also have eight other patients that are listed in fair condition that are not in the intensive care unit and are in other units within the hospital. as dr. drendel noted, i think it is very important and it really responds to the family of this situation is that there s three sets of siblings that are currently hospitalized within children s, and this is unique and truly demonstrates the devastating effects of this on our community. mental health support has been activated for our families, our
ashley had mentioned a number and if contact is available, and we would strongly, strongly encourage people to utilize those resources. the needs may vary depending on the time line. some people may need resources immediately, some at a later point in time. having access to those resources is absolutely critical as we ve learned through these mass casualty and other significant events that occur. okay. and just to reiterate again, the children s wisconsin team has established a mental and behavioral health support line for families who need emotional support. that line will be active at noon today. that number is 414-266-6500. okay. so i think this one would be for dr. drendel. you ve mentioned that a patient was admitted around 5:30 last night. do we know when the last patient was admitted? we continued our disaster response between 5:30 and 9:30 last night where the vast majority of patients arrived.
with that, i will turn over to dr. meyer, the medical director of the critical care unit your children s wisconsin. dr. meyer, you are on you. good morning. he would think after this many months of zoom, i would figure it out. but thank you. thank you, dr. drendel. we are immensely grateful for our community and the medical response started on scene with bystanders, ems, intercommunity partners and other health care organizations before the children arrived here at children s. as we stated, children s wisconsin has alerted speedy eckert intensive unit in the state of wisconsin. we 72 icu beds and like our emergency department, we immediately began preparations to receive patients once we were
