In the announcement, after describing the condition of the patient, clarifications are given about the hospitalization of 79-year-old Dimitris Kallianos.

The “Attikon” announcement in detail

Mr. Dimitrios Kallianos, 79 years old, was transferred to the Attikon University Hospital from another hospital and was admitted to the First University Vascular Surgery Clinic on 4/6/2024 due to gangrene of the left foot. The patient suffered from, inter alia, end-stage renal failure on hemodialysis, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, severe coronary artery disease and heart failure (acute myocardial infarction and repeated percutaneous coronary angioplasty, atrial fibrillation, tricuspid insufficiency, defibrillator placement), pulmonary fibrosis with home oxygen therapy and genital cancer.

The patient underwent successful surgical treatment of the gangrene, while his complex pre-existing problems were evaluated and treated intensively during his hospitalization by all involved specialties (cardiologists, pulmonologists, nephrologists, infectious disease specialists). On 4/22 the patient reported subjective deterioration, with stable vital signs and condition tests (good communication, good gas exchange and spontaneous breathing, stable hemodynamic picture without support), a picture that did not meet the medical criteria for ICU admission. During 4/23, he presented signs of mild but worsening tissue hypoxia (good communication and gas exchange, but a mild increase in lactate which the previous day was completely normal), was evaluated by the ICU and it was decided to admit him to the Intensive Care Unit at 18.30. During transport preparation the patient had a convulsive episode and was intubated. He was transferred to the ICU where he remains intubated in critical condition, on mechanical support of organs and systems.

Covering cases requiring intensive care is a top priority of Attikon University Hospital and the National Health System. During the turbulent last five years all the intubated patients of P.G.N. Atticon were covered in the ICU of our hospital.

It is clarified that the admission of patients to each ICU of the country is done with strict conditions and criteria and after they are registered on a centrally controlled platform of the EKAB, criteria which the specific patient did not meet until 23/4. Indicatively, it is mentioned that according to the data of the EKAB platform, no non-intubated pathological patient was included in the platform in the last month.

We understand the emotional burden, we sympathize with the human pain of the family and we are doing all we can for the best possible development of this serious and complex incident.
