New guidelines for the ICU in case we run out of beds. So you guys get a primer of what the next proposals of Jared Voldemort will include.
It works in stages, we're at stage 2 and in our country it starts to get bad from stage 3.
Patients no longer admitted to the ICU in stage 3:
- Heart failure
- Severe trauma
- Heavy burns
- Severe brain damage
- Cancer (spread out)
- Organ failures
- Failing immune system (or immune diseases)
- People who are wholly depended in their daily care (CFS score 7 (see chart below))
- Terminally ill
If capacity gets even lower, we move to stage 4:
- Patients that match the stage 3 criteria already admitted to the ICU will no longer be treated
- Patients that require both a lung and heart device
- Patients who get a heart attack will no longer be reanimated in the ICU
- Patients who are not in need of daily care but do have less reserves compared to others no matter their age (CFS-score 5)
So in theory you could be admitted as a stage 3, it moves to stage 4 and you lose your place in the ICU.
Grim and dark stuff.
Of course these directions were published just to inform and there's no need to panic ha ha ha
