With ICUs hitting capacity, hospitals turn to desperate measures


Ambulances waiting at hospitals for six hours
In Los Angeles County, emergency rooms are so crowded that some ambulances have been forced to wait as long as six hours to offload patients, said Cathy Chidester, director of the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency. Some patients arriving by ambulance are asked to sit in the emergency department lobby so the ambulance can depart.
California is also desperately seeking more medical staff from overseas, perhaps from as far away as Australia, while opening field hospitals to care for non-ICU patients in places such as Costa Mesa, Porterville, Sacramento and Imperial; other facilities are on standby status in Riverside, Richmond, Fresno, San Diego and San Francisco. ....

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) Unchecked Thanksgiving gatherings of friends and families across the Golden State result in an unprecedented surge of COVID-19 cases, with more to come, California health officials noted Tuesday, warning statewide intensive care units (ICUs) capacity is at only 5.7 percent.
California health officials reported an unprecedented 42,120 cases on Monday, six times higher than mid-October, breaking the single-day record set Dec. 8 when 35,400 coronavirus cases were recorded.
And on Tuesday, Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the United States, reported record levels of 11,194 new COVID cases a day and 86 confirmed deaths, the highest number since the summer surge. ....

Intensive care unit beds across Southern California are plummeting to critical levels, with capacity falling to 1% in Ventura County and 0% in Riverside County while Los Angeles County home to 10 million people had fewer than 100 beds available.

The shortages come as the coronavirus continues to rage across the state. A Los Angeles Times county-by-county tally showed an unprecedented 42,129 cases reported Monday. That number breaks the single-day record set Dec. 8, when 35,400 coronavirus cases were recorded. ....
