This is help when you need it. Pelley the surge of coronavirus patients is beginning to overwhelm hospitals in the worlds new epicenter, new york city. Other hotspots are growing from coast to coast, but new york state has nearly half the known cases in the u. S. For more than 80 of patients, the symptoms of the disease, covid19, tend to be relatively mild. But the small fraction of seriously ill patients is forcing a national mobilization. In new york city alone, hundreds have died. The battle is being fought in the citys intensive care units by a frontline of Critical Care doctors and nurses. Tell me about the battle youre fighting. Dr. Gul zaidi its hard. Were i. C. U. Doctors, were used to pressure. Were used to seeing a lot of things that normal people dont see. But this is really beyond anything ive seen in my career. Pelley dr. Gul zaidi has been a Critical Care specialist nine years at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in queens. Dr. Zaidi theres no time to sit, let alone eat or do simple things like take bathroom breaks. We just keep going. And its essentially one room to the next. Pelley when was the last time you slept . Dr. Zaidi i dont know. I dont remember when was the last time. Probably before this exploded like this. Pelley dr. Mangala narasimhan is chief of Critical Care at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, one of 23 hospitals in the Northwell Health system. Dr. Mangala narasimhan i have 18 beds in one i. C. U. Full of people on ventilators, completely sedated unable to open their eyes or interact or talk to their families. And we are feeding them through tubes, and we are completely keeping them paralyzed so that we can properly ventilate them. Its our sickest patients, and theyre in every single room of our i. C. U. Pelley the pictures in our story were shot for us by hospital staff. By the end of this past week, new york City Hospitals admitted more than 5,000 covid19 patients. At Northwell Health hospitals, about a third of covid19 patients go to intensive care often suddenly. Dr. Narasimhan very quickly, within hours. They walk into the hospital, talking, or into an urgent care. And 12 hours later theyre on a ventilator, fighting for their life. Pelley is that unusual . Dr. Narasimhan very unusual. Very unusual. We dont see that course in progression like this with any other disease that we deal with. Pelley how long are they staying in the i. C. U. . Dr. Narasimhan much longer than our normal patients are. Normal patients, we have three or four days of i. C. U. Stay and they leave. These patients, and this is consistent with china and with what italy is seeing, take about two weeks on a ventilator before they can come off, if they come off. Pelley before coronavirus, critically ill patients often had last visits with their family before being sedated and intubated, the insertion of a ventilator tube. But now, because of contagion, families arent allowed in the hospital. Dr. Eric gottesman, of north Shore University hospital on long island, helped a patient say goodbye remotely. Dr. Eric gottesman i could tell that he was going to need mechanical ventilation, be intubated. We, i talked to his wife on facetime. We facetimed him all together. And then his wife sang goodbye to him. Very touching. And he, hes still intubated, yeah. And there are lots of lots of stories like that. Lots of stories. Pelley facetiming and saying goodbye. We watched as temporary morgues were set up in tents and 45 refrigerated trailers were made readyenough space, overall, for the potential of 3,500 bodies about a thousand more than were lost at the World Trade Center on 9 11. Have you had any patients leave the i. C. U. Yet . Dr. Narasimhan yes, we have. We needed those wins to keep going, cause we were getting very depressed by what we were seeing. But weve had some wins recently, and patients have come off ventilators and are doing well. Pelley the youngest patient youve had on a vent so far is how old . Dr. Narasimhan 21. Pelley hows that person doing . Dr. Narasimhan its my one big win. Got off the ventilator and is doing really well, and is our hope. Dr. Zaidi its just the sheer magnitude of patients that are coming in, the influx not just into the hospital, but into our i. C. U. s is beyond anything that weve seen before. Were doing our best, but it feels like wartime. Pelley that war was joined by the military at the request of new yorks governor. Lieutenant general Todd Semonite i flew up to see Governor Cuomo and he showed us the curves, when he thought it was going to be a worst case. Pelley Lieutenant GeneralTodd Semonite commands the army corps of engineers. Hes leading a Team Building a 2,900bed hospital in manhattans Convention Center. Across the city, the corps is creating hospital space in hotels and vacant buildings. Lieutenant general semonite we dont have enough time to do this the normal way. This is an unbelievably complicated situation, this is a catastrophe. We cant have a complicated solution. So, what we need is a very, very simplistic concept. What i call the good enough design. But if we try to do any more than a good enough, were going to miss the window. So, im tellin my guys, you dont have the time to do it exactly the way everybody wants it. Youve got to get it done by when that mayor or when that governor says, here is my absolute critical peak. Ive got to have it done by then. pelley the Convention Center hospital opens this week. Patients who do not have covid 19 will be transferred here to free up beds in regular hospitals that are becoming virus intensive care units. General semonite has plans nationwide. Lieutenant general semonite we are concerned about new jersey, were very concerned about california, were very concerned about washington. Yesterday, i had one of my twostar generals in illinois, worried about the chicago area, were worried about that, i talked to governor edwards the other day in louisiana, so those are probably the big six, but that doesnt mean that the other 44 arent going to get the same level of treatment. Pelley and you are anticipating retrofitting not just hotels, but sports arenas. Lieutenant general semonite we are. One of the ones we are doing is seattle. The concept right now is going into seahawks stadium and were basically going to go in there not out there where the football field is, but, you know, all the space down underneath where all the concessions are. A lot of great space. Pelley Army Medical Teams have arrived at the Convention Center. A Navy Hospital ship will dock soon. Mayor bill de blasio april will be worse than march. May will likely be worse than april. Pelley democratic mayor, bill de blasio, told us that he spoke to the president three times last week about military reinforcements to help relieve the citys frontline doctors and nurses. Mayor de blasio and they are not going to be able to sustain this pace. And we need to bring in a whole new group to substitute for them and give them a break and keep building out our capacity. If we dont get a lot more medical personnel quickly, even if we have the equipment, it wont be enough. Pelley where do you get them . Mayor de blasio we got to take every person who works in medicine, regardless of what they do, private practice, any kind of medicine, we need to mobilize them. Were going to have to be very strong using all the legal powers of the state and city to mandate it. Because its getting desperate. Pelley in manhattan, Message Boards beg on the street for, recently retired Health Professionals to help treat patients. Thousands of retirees have responded. Mike dowling, the c. E. O. Of Northwell Health system, is also counting on those at the beginning of their medical careers. Mike dowling the medical schools graduations were to be happening in two months. They will happen quickly so well assign those medical students that were graduating to the hospitals as well. Pelley youre accelerating this class of medical School Graduates . Dowling yes. And theyre going to get an experience that will be wonderful for their continuing education. Pelley dowling is preparing for equipment shortages. Masks are being reused, and ventilators, known as vents, may be pushed beyond their design. Dowling you can under certain circumstances take a vent and put two patients on a vent. That helps. But we need more vents because you can turn any bed into an i. C. U. Bed if you have the ventilators. Pelley the need for ventilators is acute because of the surprising nature of the disease. Dr. Narasimhan we have lots of people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s that are sick and are on ventilators and dont have a lot of medical problems. So, while the older people definitely fare worse, the younger people are also not spared. Pelley have you found a common denominator for why some patients crash so precipitously . Dr. Narasimhan we do think that theres some trends towards obesity, that patients who are obese seem to do worse and men definitely more than women. Men seem to have about a 60 chance of doing worse, of those people who do worse. So, there are some trends, but not enough for us to pick those patients out. Pelley in italy and other places, we have seen rationing of care. Dr. Narasimhan yes. Pelley and physicians such as yourself having to make a decision who gets a vent and who doesnt. Are we approaching that . Dr. Narasimhan we are preparing for that in case we do approach it. I hope that we dont approach it. I think we have to think about things like that because of the numbers of people that are coming in. Pelley and what are the answers . Dr. Narasimhan theyre difficult. They are going to be based on probability of survival, how much is the ventilator going to help this person . Pelley at least one new york city nurse has died of covid19 infection. There have been spot shortages of protective gear, but dr. Zaidi says theres enough at her hospital for now. Dr. Zaidi were all scared. Im scared. But i have to lock those fears away in a box, because once i set foot into the hospital, its all about the patient. So, we try to be cautious. We try to use the protective equipment. But its not perfect. We all know that. But this is what i do. Its my job. So, i do what i have to do to help these people. Pelley elyse isopo, a Critical CareNurse Practitioner at north Shore University hospital on long island, may have said it best. Elyse isopo its very scary and very real, but the camaraderie that ive seen ive never seen before. And when im home, i want to be there. And its a feeling that ive never had before. Its like, okay, when you cant wait to get out of work cause its a busy day, and everybodys sick, and you just want to go home. But now when youre home, you just want to be at work. Pelley dr. Sameer khanijo, of Long Island Jewish Medical Center in queens, told us family is a source of strength and worry. Dr. Sameer khanijo i have a wife and a daughter. We have a whole elaborate decontamination process when i get home. Elley whats your decontamination process at home . Dr. Khanijo i go straight home. I dont pick up my daughter from her daycare. I get home, i go straight into the shower clothes go into a bag. Take a shower. Everything that was with me gets either lysoled or cloroxed. And then i go and i clean my car. Pelley to those who question whether businesses should be closed, whether entire cities or states should be locked down, you say what . Dr. Zaidi you have to keep it locked down. The influx already is so much that if this continues, theres no resources in the world thatll be enough to deal with this and contain this. And we have to keep it locked down. Anything else would be irresponsible. Pelley thats taken seriously in americas most densely crowded city. More than eight Million People appear to have nearly vanished imprisoned in apartments by the shutdown of schools and businesses. Police have orders to break up gatherings, but judging from fifth avenue, the cops could stand some company. Still, the extreme social distancing measures have not yet slowed the spread. New yorks hospitals may be a preview of whats to come as more cities join the battle. Dowling i would like to say to the public, the Health Care System is resilient. We will handle this. And its important for people to understand this. You dont quit. You dont retreat. You dont put up the white flag. You are going to win. ticking for more on our coverage of the veer, of coronavirus gosh, to 60minutesovertime. Com. Like screening for colon cancer with me, cologuard.
