Suissa's condition is considered difficult, and will be transferred from Assuta Hospital where he is hospitalized for Ichilov - where the device replaces heart and lung function, and is his last chance to survive the virus • But doctors warn: in case of an outbreak - we will have to choose who will be connected and who will not

Ashdod Hospital had no background illnesses and at the age of 22 had no risk population, but after being infected in Corona, his condition deteriorated and today it was reported that he would be transferred from Assuta to Ashdod to Ichilov Hospital for connection to an artificial acu device that replaces heart and lung activity until they are recovered.

Connecting to this device is the last hope for Corona patients (and not just them) who are breathing and continuing to deteriorate. But only 35 such devices exist in Israel. The average length of stay of a Corona patient on a device may take three weeks. So obviously this is a limited solution that can only help some of the patients who are in such a difficult condition.

Suissa will be the fourth Corona patient in Israel to be connected to the device, which is the last chance for him, in the absence of proven and effective treatment for the corona and its condition. Earlier this week, a 50-year-old woman died, who was the first to be connected to Akamu at Sheba Hospital. There are two other patients who are connected to the ACMU in Israel, a 45-year-old patient with no background disease in Wolfson and a 60-year-old patient at Shaare Zedek Hospital.

"The issue of acupuncture for corona patients is now being discussed worldwide," says Dr. Kassif, senior cardiac surgeon, director of the Acqua Service of Sheba, chairman of the Israeli company Acquo, "after assessing the situation in Israel together with the Association for Cardiac Surgery we concluded that there is room to treat the acu In Corona patients who are breathing down and applying for Israel to purchase more ACM devices, "

Dr. Kasif went on to say that currently 35 devices are active and standard in 11 hospitals in Israel - Shiba Hospital has 8 devices, Bilinson has 6 devices. The technology is also available in other hospitals including Soroka Rambam and Fouria.

"We have an urgent need for dozens more emergency preparedness devices," he warned, "Acmo is the only thing that can help a person who is deteriorating on the soul. But it is not a cure, the device is the bridge to recovery, without the need for high pressure oxygen to give the lungs a means to recover." .

"Only those who have a chance are connected to the device"

The length of time a patient is anesthetized and breathed and connected to the device usually lasts for one to ten days, but the data collected so far seems to take longer for a longer recovery and according to Dr. Kasif, two weeks or even three, given that the number of difficult patients can reach thousands like Forecasts and the number of ACUs will remain low - meaning that this is a valuable resource that will be given to few.

The chances of survival of a patient on ACMO are about 70 percent (these are patients who would have passed away soon). The data collected so far regarding Corona shows that the odds are slightly lower and are about 50%.

"These are amazing success rates because those people without fate are doomed to their fate. But the reason for succeeding at these success rates is due to careful selection of patients - people who have a chance. In England, they have already announced that the maximum age for connecting the device will be 60. Due to his risk of bleeding, complications and infections from the device itself, it's a decision derived from age, background illnesses and other parameters and the decision of who to connect is a decision sometimes made by the treating team in that case, "Kassif explained.
