COVID‐19 first stage in Japan – how we treat ‘Diamond Princess Cruise Ship’ with 3700 passengers?
2020
Overview
Dear Editor We report the current situation regarding the case of multiple patients who tested positive via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the novel coronavirus infection and were transported from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, from the viewpoint of medical facilities in Yokohama City to serve as a reference for future development of emergency medical care systems in each region. There was a case of a foreign national admitted to a medical facility in the City who developed gastrointestinal perforation, requiring an emergency surgery. Because emergency surgery of PCR‐positive patients was considered difficult in general hospitals due to lack of staff, the patient was transported to the abovementioned medical center for emergency surgery. [...]these were healthy people without any underlying conditions, and emergency calls have drastically decreased to 1–2 per day. Because the Philippine government had their crews return back to their country, it is likely that the transportation of patients from the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Yokohama has settled down. On February 20, there was a request to transport ECMO patients from hospital A in Yokosuka City; however, advanced medical facilities in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, were unable to accept critical patients from the Diamond Princess cruise ship. [...]these patients were transported from Yokosuka to referral hospitals in Tama, Tokyo Prefecture (This was performed by collaborating with COVID‐19 Countermeasure ECMOnet Project established by six associations such as Japanese Association for Acute Medicine and The Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine, as needed, and paramedics of Yokohama City University went to Yokohama and rode with patients as they were transported from Yokosuka to Tama to secure their safety.).
