Child respiratory virus cases surge: Orange County children's hospital reports beds set up everywhere, ER lobby extended into driveway
The emergency declaration helps CHOC obtain Tamiflu, albuterol and other medications that have been in short supply across the U.S.
The hospital has set up patient beds in spaces including the discharge lounge, in an oncology playroom gym and in surgical playrooms. The emergency lobby has been extended into the hospital's driveway. CHOC officials said the hospital is seeing more than 150 children per day in the lobby, and has been averaging 410 emergency-room visits, with as many as 489 one day. That's more than double the usual amount of ER visits, officials said.
RSV and flu cases are up 25 percent in an"already record-breaking year," according to CHOC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sandip Godambe. January and February are usually the peak months for the viruses, so it's unclear if this wave will just continue or worsen through the winter, Godambe said.
