New facility established within three days after witnessing patients in need of oxygen support waiting in ambulances
The Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) on May 16 opened a waiting area with oxygen supply to avoid making patients requiring oxygen support wait in ambulances outside the COVID-19 ward. The hospital administration built an annex to the COVID-19 outpatient ward with 15 beds, each having a portable oxygen concentrator. CMCH Dean A. Nirmala said that patients who are brought to the hospital with immediate requirement of oxygen support will be first admitted to the new facility. The medical team in the waiting area will stabilise the patients and shift them to the COVID-19 ward when oxygen bed requirement arises, she said.
