Wait times are up to nine hours at the state's only children's hospital, which is struggling to provide normal care to patients.
Link copiedEvery one of Rhode Island’s pediatric hospital beds was full on Sunday and Monday, according toRhode Island is among the states most severely affected by the aggressive, nationwide surge of pediatric respiratory infections. As of Monday, 76% of pediatric hospital beds were full nationwide. Beds in Washington, D.C., were at 98% capacity, and beds in Arizona were at 96% capacity.
While some of Rhode Island's adult hospitals are treating pediatric patients with milder cases, children that require more intensive care are being directed to pediatric hospitals in states like Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Dr. Sarah Combs, an attending physician at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., said doctors there are seeing patients in hallways and flex rooms formerly occupied by clinics. The hospital is operating at or near capacity and the waiting room is fairly full, she said.
Weed said Rhode Island is unique in that"many states have more than one pediatric hospital, and we only have one." Nevertheless, Hasbro is still fielding calls from out-of-state hospitals looking to transfer patients. Weed said staffing shortages pose yet another challenge, given the"higher-than-usual number of early retirements and resignations" among health care providers during the pandemic. Even if Hasbro were to find more beds, Overly said, it might not have enough nurses to oversee them.
