Covid, No-Vax of Trento refuses to be intubated and dies: not even his girlfriend was able to convince him

by admin

TRENTO – A fifty-year-old of German origins and a resident of Lake Garda for a few months, died on Thursday evening in the intensive care unit of the Santa Chiara hospital in Trento after expressly refusing to be intubated. The repeated invitations of the doctors and of the girlfriend, worried about the worsening of the man’s health conditions, who had not wanted to vaccinate against the coronavirus: a person who had no other particular pathologies, but who suffered from obesity, were of no use , the latter element that can increase the risks in the event of contagion from Covid.

The fifty-year-old had presented to the hospital a few days earlier with symptoms already evident. When the situation worsened and the patient’s body did not react to normal therapies, doctors explained that it would be necessary to intubate it to promote oxygenation. Faced with the patient’s resistance, they explained to him the enormous risks – even death – he would face. The doctors asked for help from the fifty-year-old’s partner, who tried to convince him: until the end, however, she denied consent to be intubated, an obligatory step under Italian law (unless the patient is unable to express himself) in order to proceed. A few hours later the man’s heart stopped beating.

“In these cases we try to convince the patient that the impossibility of increasing the degree of assistance, especially intubation, can also jeopardize survival”, explained Dr. Daniele Penzo to the microphones of the Gr Rai in Trento. head of the intensive care unit of Santa Chiara. “We verify that on the part of the patient – added Penzo – the full capacity to understand and will and eventually we try to involve family members to convince him. But it is clear that when a patient refuses treatment, we have a duty to respect it. . It is a problem – concludes the head physician – that we will have to face with increasing frequency “.

“When he was hospitalized a week ago, he immediately told us that he did not believe in vaccination in any way – say the health workers -. After the detection of the positivity to the virus and the subsequent admission to the hospital, his situation gradually changed. aggravated, so much so that an emergency transfer to the intensive care unit was necessary. The clinical picture however worsened further: the progression of the respiratory infection was overt and intubation was the only possible solution for survival. faced with the diagnosis that would certainly have been unfortunate without intubation, the patient was clear: he expressed his willingness to refuse with determined clarity “.

It was then that the doctors decided to involve the girlfriend. An attempt as extreme as it is obligatory to try to save his life. “They talked for hours, we could not refrain from trying – they continue from the intensive care unit -. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. The patient was adamant in his decision of categorical refusal to intubation and artificial oxygenation”. The man, according to hospital sources, did not suffer from other important pathologies except from a “full-blown obesity problem that perhaps may have been a determining factor in the worsening”. Taking note of the conscious refusal of treatment, the doctors were therefore forced to surrender. A few days and man’s conditions have in fact precipitated definitively. On Thursday evening his heart stopped beating forever.
