The patient became the first case of confirmed Influenza To in the department, after Friday the laboratory examinations gave positive to the new Influenza and in the second to national level, after a girl of 11 years who lives in Trinidad (Beni). Carlos Huanca, that took care of the woman yesterday, informed that the patient dawned Sunday with one slight respiratory improvement, but still is in intensive therapy, said that at the moment the woman of 59 years presented/displayed a discreet respiratory improvement, this disease can improve but also there is the possibility that has a relapse. “We have a critical patient with Influenza To in intensive therapy, it is with a respiratory insufficiency, and soothed so that she does not have no type of pain she continues receiving mechanical breathing by a bilateral pulmonary commitment, laboratorily has hypoxaemia (abnormal diminution of the partial oxygen pressure in the arterial blood), the evolution that has presented/displayed in these two days is favorable, the woman maintains an oxygenation in weaves normal thanks to the mechanical ventilation, and little by little she enters yesterday and today the supply of oxygen is had handicapped” informed, Huanca. The patient continues very delicate under a very complex treatment with multiple drugs and in the last days she has presented/displayed a discreet improvement of the respiratory part, the patient will continue in intensive therapy because still she needs the automatic respirator. It is difficult to need how long will remain in intensive therapy that goes to depend much on the evolution that has the patient, it is necessary to remember that the woman of 59 years suffers of Diabetes, high arterial pressure and presents/displays a chronic insufficiency, causing that the case is very complex. On the other hand from today Sedes will equip to clinics to take care of people who present/display the group of symptoms of the Influenza To, so is the case of the Center of North Health which each with two beds is qualifying two rooms, the material that will receive will be masks, dressing gowns, gel alcohol, in addition the medical personnel already counts on the preparation to take care of suspicious cases of Influenza To, the past year this clinic received several suspicious cases of the new Influenza.
