All over the world, hospitals and clinics are preparing for an increasing number of patients who are infected with the novel coronavirus and require inpatient treatment and intensive care. Entire building tracts are thus cleared, for example, and designated as covid isolation stations with separate admission areas in order to separate the flows of patients coming in. However, many hospitals are already working at maximum capacity now so that gymnasiums, underground car parks, event locations, barracks and sometimes even entire sport stadiums are summarily converted into field hospitals.
Beds are being erected in checker board fashion, people’s personal privacy, however, most often falls by the wayside
Depending on their size, these makeshift field hospitals offer space for several hundred patients with many different needs. Beginning with elderly people living alone who, due to their personal circumstances, require basic health services and basic care from healthcare personnel up to patients that show severe disease symptoms within a very short period of time as their health condition rapidly deteriorates and must receive immediate intensive care. And all of this is happening in a hall completely exposed to prying eyes and, on top of that, is often equipped with communal showers and changing rooms without partitions. Densely erected cots may afford efficient care and treatment for numerous patients in the smallest of spaces, but the open design of these halls and their lavatories and shower rooms often leave no space for the required minimum of human needs for personal privacy.
Especially when it comes to taking care of older patients and patients in need of care who commonly belong to the corona risk group are additional measures required to safeguard privacy. This so not only because of different modesty boundaries but also by a sometimes increased need for care when it comes personal and intimate hygiene for example.
The VarioScreen privacy screen is the test winner in the latest Fire Brigade Magazine issue
The flexibility and quality of the TROTEC privacy screen stands out! Germany’s Fire Brigade Magazine declared the VarioScreen privacy screen its test winner in its 12/2019 issue in a large comparative test of anti-peeping-tom privacy screens. Many models were rigorously tested by experienced fire brigade experts and our privacy screen was given an overall grade of 1.7 and rated the winner in terms of practicality, quality and accessories.
VarioScreen privacy screens create extremely flexible, mobile, quick to install view-protected areas for accommodating treating and caring for patients in makeshift field hospitals.
No matter if it is an L-shape, U-shape or only as a straight partition, the privacy screens from Trotec allow you to subdivide gymnasiums, exhibition halls and comparable space situations individually into view protected treatment and care units within seconds. The otherwise open bed rows can be converted into screened off single or multiple bed areas in seconds with the help of these privacy screens in order to provide patients and caregivers alike the needed degree of privacy.
Persons with symptoms of varying severity and health conditions can be accommodated inside a makeshift field hospital. That’s why the VarioScreen privacy screen is also ideal to subdivide or partition a large hall into various sectors according to gender, age group or severity of the illness or according to the amount of care required.
