may 15 of the capital’s hospital on the street of Academician Pavlova (a new centre for the treatment of coronavirus infection) issued Ekaterina Almazova E., born in 1920. In November she is going to celebrate centenary.
Grandma was admitted in a serious condition, it affected about 60% of the lungs. However, doctors did everything possible to see business done even without intensive care. 76-year-old son Almazov, admitted for treatment simultaneously with the mother in the same hospital, still in treatment.
Ekaterina Almazova — honored Muscovite. Awarded medals for the defense of Moscow, for valiant labor during the great Patriotic war, the order “badge of honor”. 40 years she worked as chief engineer at Kuntsevo factory art painting.
For doctors is the real victory, and they do not hide tears of joy. Of course, all hoping for the best, but at the same time understood that on may 1 they received a patient with an extremely high risk of adverse outcome. Anyway, a man of 99 years, besides there is a bouquet of all sorts of diseases typical for this age and arterial hypertension, and ischemic heart disease. And the attitude my grandmother was not the most positive. Doctors said sadly: “Well, here I will not go!” “Yes you did! answered her head therapeutically Department, a pulmonologist Ella A. Ilyin. We all issued with improvement”.
As told to “MK” Dr. ilina Ekaterina Egorovna came to the center on “emergency” along with his 76-year-old son — they were taken by different teams.
— the woman had dyspnea, mild cough, fever, low Sats. It was evident that a serious condition: the age and related diseases. However, the extra weight she’s generally well done, take care of himself. It was important for us to save her. And our team of doctors tried their best. We held her pastorally massage bronchi (the method of drainage, when the doctor performs a back light tapping motion in the course of the bronchi, improves microcirculation and expectoration of sputum), taught her breathing exercises.
it was hard at First: he forced her hands up, fiddling with it like a child. For example, for the development of the diaphragm in patients, we use this simple exercise: in a Cup pour water, insert the straw to drink and ask the patient to blow into it: it contributes to the prevention of dyspnea and improve respiratory system. When we see that the time has come for light rehabilitation, restoration plug-in technology, says Ella Andreyevna.
— And how is her son?
— her Son was in a serious condition. According to statistics, men are five times more likely to get sick and suffer heavier coronavirus infections��UW. The son, unfortunately, was in intensive care, two days on a ventilator. But the mother insisted to have him transferred to her room. It was psychologically important: she was worried about him, and he for her. Chamber we for two, with private shower and WC. Have wifi, TV, video call with relatives. We work on MLA taken free of charge under the policy. If there is hygiene issue kits with toothpaste and a comb, like in a hotel. In General, we made the decision to put his son to her. While they were in different places, we played the role of racing pigeons: he passed her through our love, she gives him a kiss.
Son is not yet prescribed?
— Until he fully recovered and remains under surveillance. But he was already razdelalsya, although the mask receives oxygen with breaks for food, movement. The son supported the statement of the mother. Now she’s in a good mood, from depression, in which she resided at the time of admission, have not disappeared. I told her on the first day said: from our office are issued only with songs! And here yesterday she said to me: “we Sing?” I forgot about what she said, thought she was about his birthday in November, she called all of us. And she said, “No, I mean statement!”
I say to our doctors: we need to instill in patients the belief that their problem is our problem, and we are ready to solve it. Emotional background is well worth it — very good for recovery.
— And yet it is to cure is not always enough. What other techniques do you apply?
— We follow the accepted recommendations of international protocols. They enable the doctor to decide depending on the severity of the patient’s condition and the degree of lung injury. Ekaterina Egorovna came to us from CT-3 — defeat 60% of the surface of the lungs. For treatment it was good to answer — write it with a lesion less than 25%. Applied, and antibiotics, and, given the high risk of thrombosis, antithrombotic, and antioxidants. Some patients give monoclonal antibodies and interferons. The scheme used individually, depending on the condition and blood test. Our entire medical staff received additional training in treatment protocols for coronavirus infection.
We are always happy for each recovered patient, but in this case especially! And all of our patients and doctors, we wish you health and energy for new victories.
