Hospitals transfer critically ill patients as ICUs fill up

Hospitals are preparing for the worst-case scenario of running out of critical care beds in the coming week, as the health service is pushed to the limits of its capacity.
A number of hospitals have already reached capacity with patients in need of intensive care treatment transferred to acute hospitals with free beds.
Forty intensive care patients have been transferred between hospitals since January 1, more than twice the normal volume. Not all are Covid-19 patients. However, the transfers are as a direct result of the pressures on the hospitals caused by the virus.
Dr Colm Henry, the chief clinical officer of the Health Service Executive, last night said that all hospitals were in surge, some hospitals had reached the limits of their surge capacity and intensive care patients were being transferred to units in other hospitals. ....

Covid-19 patients have been transferred hundreds of kilometres to get to an ICU bed.
The Clinical Director of the Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance Service said that 40 critically ill patients have been moved between hospitals this month so far, including 17 this week.
Dr David Menzies said the majority of the patients have Covid-19 and were being transferred because there wasn t an intensive care bed available in the hospital they were in.
The service is already twice as busy as it was last January, and as hospitals and ICU operate in surge capacity, its role has become even more vital. ....
