Some insides from the head of an intensive care hospital:
CoV deaths without an underlying disease are rare
People without a previous illness only get very seriously ill from Covid-19 or die from it in exceptional cases. Only “very rarely” would young patients without a previous illness end up in the intensive care unit or even die. This is pointed out by the head of the internal intensive care unit at the Innsbruck University Hospital, Michael Joannidis.
Online since today, 9.25 a.m.Over 95 percent of the Tyrolean intensive care patients who needed intensive medical treatment because of the virus had developed severe pneumonia. The previous illnesses, which existed in most cases, were very often diabetes, but in many cases also high blood pressure or obesity. Two thirds of the intensive care cases had high blood pressure, according to Joannidis in an interview with the APA.
Old age is a major risk factorIn addition, whether the first or second wave applies: "Old age is associated with a significantly poorer survival rate." according to the doctor. In contrast, less than ten percent of the under 60s.
The median Covid 19 deaths would have been 76 years in the first wave and 77 years in the second. According to the expert, 70 percent of coronavirus intensive care patients are male. The mortality in the Tyrolean intensive care units was 28 percent in the second wave. It was slightly higher than in the first wave of the pandemic, when it was 24 percent
