A fire broke out at a hospital designated for treatment in Russia's southwestern Astrakhan region on 24 November, killing two people. The fire was extinguished and ****18 patients and 16 healthcare workers were evacuated; no one was injured. What is concerning is that several people in the hospital were not evacuated because a patient was undergoing heart bypass surgery when the fire broke out. If the surgery hadn't started yet, maybe he could have hunkered down first. The surgery could be delayed for a while, but doctors had already opened the patient's chest and couldn't wait any longer.
The roof is on fire and smoke has spread into the building, but there are helpless patients lying in front of him. All the pressure was on the surgeon's shoulders. He must find a way to escape or stay. Alexandria's chief surgeon was Valentin? Filatov, only 29 years old. Without hesitation, Dr. Valentin chose to stay and continue to complete the surgery. After two hours of successful surgery,
Medical staff moved the patient to a nearby hospital for observation and then safely evacuated the hospital. In the aftermath of the incident, there was a sense that the paramedics who stood their ground in the face of danger were remarkable. The fire hospital is St. George's Hospital. Some of these beds were being treated by patients with 2019 coronavirus disease. The fire started in the intensive care unit of the hospital where two of the deceased were ventilated. Experts are looking into the possibility that the ventilator caused the fire.
Aventa-m respirators were used. The ventilators were produced by the Ural Instrument Manufacturing Plant. In March of this year, the plant was designated by the Russian government as the designated supplier of ventilator equipment. in April, the Ural Instrument Manufacturing Plant signed a contract with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and hospitals in the regions for the supply of 8,700 ventilators, and the plant's production capacity was quickly increased from 10 ventilators per day to 100 ventilators per day. This was provided to the United States by the Russian Government in early April. Russia had previously claimed that it had provided a shipment of humanitarian aid to the United States, while the U.S. State Department has emphasized that the federal government purchased medical and protective equipment from Russia. aventa-m respirators have been reloaded onto trucks and are on their way back to FEMA.
