One of the people who suffered the lack of medical personnel in the Llodio mobile ICU on Thursday night to Friday has died, several health workers have confirmed.

The citizen suffered a cardiac arrest at home, but the Llodio Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was unable to attend because it did not have medical staff. As the health professionals have explained, in these cases it is necessary to have a medicalized ambulance, as there are drugs that are strongly administered to correct the situation, in addition to controlling other parameters (arrhythmias, other incidents...).

Thus, the mobile ICU of Bilbao was transferred to the population, which delayed admission to the hospital between 40 and 50 minutes, as reported by the healthcare workers.

That same night, moreover, another citizen suffered a heart attack. In this case, the citizen came on his own to the Continued Care Center of Llodio. There it was seen that he had suffered a heart attack, and in that case he also had to go to the ICU of Bilbao to take him to the auditorium.

The Osakidetza Staff Commission has denounced that since June of this year there have been no medical personnel in more than 100 shifts of Mobile ICU.

Second death this year

This event is reminiscent of the events that occurred in January at the Continued Care Center of Llodio, when a 42-year-old neighbor of Llodio, David Hernández "Fabi", died of a heart attack without being treated by a doctor.

Since then, several denouncing initiatives have been launched in the region to demand a public and dignified health system. These protests have, above all, missed doctors.

In fact, despite the fact that many months have passed, the problem has not been solved. Last week there were 24 uncovered shifts at Llodio and Amurrio Continuing Care Points for the months of August and September.

Health staff have explained that the functioning of mobile ICUs is not associated with Continuing Care Points, but that they suffer similar problems in this area ere.Uda, where they have been several times without medical personnel, and that the operation of this region is not an isolated case. The Osakidetza Staff Commission has denounced that since June of this year there have been no medical personnel in more than 100 shifts of Mobile ICU.
