Quebec ICUs steel themselves for one last COVID-19 surge

Posted: Apr 17, 2021 4:00 AM ET | Last Updated: April 17 The number of new COVID-19 infections in Quebec has hovered between 1,500 and 1,600 daily and intensive care units are seeing more patients.(Mario Tama/Getty Images) Hospitals in Quebec are bracing for a surge of severely ill COVID-19 patients over the next month, in what many hope is the virus s last gasp. My sense is we re in for a bit of a run in the next few weeks, said Dr. Peter Goldberg, head of critical care at Montreal s McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). We re preparing for probably a worse phase than either (wave) one or two in terms of ICU numbers.

Ontario wrestles with who gets ICU treatment in event hospitals overwhelmed with COVID patients

Ontario urged to suspend need for consent before withdrawing life support when COVID crushes hospitals Sharon Kirkey © Provided by National Post The COVID-19 vaccine has started to be administered in Canada, but Ontario, Quebec and other provinces still need to prepare protocols to determine who should get critical care and who should be left behind in the event that hospitals become flooded with COVID patients. Canada’s Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that a major Toronto Hospital could not withdraw life-support from a minimally conscious and severely brain-damaged man without his family’s consent. Now, in another sign of these extraordinary times, the Ontario government is being asked to temporarily suspend the law requiring doctors get consent of patients or families before withdrawing a ventilator or other life-sustaining treatment from people facing a grim prognosis, should COVID-19 crush hospitals.
