During an ongoing priority 1 alarm, the emergency room in Helsingborg was so overloaded that not a single nurse was in the emergency room. Since only the nurses have access to all locked up medicine in the hospitals, the doctor could not give any medical treatment to the patient until a nurse arrived.
It was during midsummer night this year that an ambulance arrived at Helsingborg's emergency department during an ongoing priority 1 alarm. Such an alarm means that the patient is life-threateningly injured or has been involved in an accident.
- When I heard that this had happened, I was shocked and actually didn't believe it was real. I don't want to go into the individual case other than that there was a patient who came by ambulance and had severe shortness of breath. I know that the doctor stood alone with the patient for a good while without being able to give any active drug treatment, says Malin Ankardal, specialist doctor and representative for the Medical Association, to SVT .
Ankardal himself has worked in the emergency room at Helsingborg's infirmary.
"We have no care places"
- For a long time we have cared for patients in corridors and have long waiting times, it is reprehensible. But not as dangerous as, in the worst case, you can come in with a cardiac arrest and be left without treatment. This is a symptom that the hospital is not doing well. The emergency room cannot solve this situation, the problem is that we do not have enough care places, she states further.
Emergency manager Marcus Larsson warned about the low staffing even before this incident - but believes that there is no connection.
The emergency department must have had several ongoing alarms at the same time, and Larsson tells SVT that the emergency room was left unmanned for a few minutes.
The hospital will now investigate the incident.
