Recent weeks, more than 10 states have recorded unprecedented high hospitalization because Covid-19, from Southeast to Northwest Pacific.

Nurses monitor the status of a patient at the Special Care Department of SSM Health Hospital.

We are in a very dangerous situation with the current level of spread, Dr. Bruce Siegel, Chairman of Essential Hospital Trade Group representing hundreds of American public hospitals, said.

Basically, crisis care standards are a route to ensure medical services in a fair way when resources are tight.

Although there are national guidelines on crisis standards, the actual plan is still different depending on the state, region or organization.

For example, some patients who are considered less likely to survive may not receive beds in special care rooms, giving way to others with a higher life opportunity.

Arizona had had to activate this plan last year.

Even when avoiding the worst script is to choose patients with treatment, doctors in heavily affected areas by Covid-19 show that overload still significantly affects Cham quality

The number of nurses is not enough to meet the work.

Everything is worse than ever, Krell, the doctor who operates a special care department at a hospital in eastern Idaho, said.

Governor Idaho Brad Little called for national guards and federal health workers to support hospitals that lack manpower to avoid trigger crisis standards.

If crisis standards are activated, the doctor will have to decide who will be taken care of, based on their survival probability, Krell said.

In State Alabama, Governor Kay Ivey last month issued an emergency situation because CA Covid-19 seriously increased sharply.

All hospitals lack nurses, she said.
