Brazil has a long history of graft scandals. But even by Brazilian standards, the scope of the accusations is outrageous. Even football superstar Neymar got dragged in.

Desde el sector privado de la salud de Bahía Blanca denuncian problemas en el suministro de una serie de medicamentos esenciales para los pacientes con COVID-19 graves, así lo indica el documento entregado a Región Sanitaria I.

La nota la firman directivos de varios hospitales, y describieron la situación: "por la falta de esos medicamentos, tienen dificultades para abordar el manejo de la sedación, analgesia, delirio y relajación muscular en pacientes críticamente enfermos de COVID-19 internados en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI)".

"La sedación, la analgesia, el manejo del delirio y la relajación muscular son parte integral en el manejo de los pacientes críticos en las UCI y especialmente importante en pacientes bajo asistencia respiratoria mecánica (ARM)".

Por otro lado remarcaron el exorbitante aumento de la medicación utilizada: pancuronio, midazolán, vecuronlo, propofol y otras. Cada paciente requiere por día 20 ampollas de pancuronio y 100 ampollas de midazolán, cuyo costo se hace insostenible.

Indicaron que el algunos casos el aumento fue entre un 400 y 500%.
