With intensive care units at Southern California hospitals nearly full 
because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles County Emergency 
Medical Services Agency (EMS) has directed ambulance crews not to 
transport patients with little chance of survival to hospitals, and 
to conserve the use of oxygen. 6park.com
Los
 Angeles and Southern California are dealing with one of the country's 
worst outbreaks of the novel coronavirus. ICU bed capacity plunged to 0%
 in Southern California last month, as more and more people were 
admitted to hospital seeking treatment for Covid-19. 
Now,
 many medical facilities simply do not have the space to take in 
patients who do not have a chance of survival, according to the agency. 
  
As
 of Monday evening, there were 7,544 people hospitalized in Los Angeles 
due to Covid-19 and just 17 available adult ICU beds, according to 
county health data.
 Due to the shortage of beds, the county EMS said patients whose hearts 
have stopped, despite efforts of resuscitation, should no longer be 
transported to hospitals.
If
 there are no signs of breathing or a pulse, EMS will continue to 
perform resuscitation for at least 20 minutes, the EMS memo said. If the
 patient is stabilized after the period of resuscitation, the patient 
would then be transported to a hospital. If the patient is declared dead
 at the scene or if no pulse can be restored, paramedics will no longer 
transport the body to the hospital.
Oxygen shortage: A
 shortage of oxygen in Los Angeles and the nearby San Joaquin Valley, 
thanks to Covid-19, is putting immense pressure on the system and 
forcing paramedics to conserve the supply.
In
 order to maintain normal circulation of the blood to organs and tissue 
needed for the body to function, EMS said an oxygen saturation of at 
least 90% will be sufficient. 
California
 Gov. Gavin Newsom formed a task force to address the issue last week. 
It is working with local and state partners to help refill oxygen tanks 
and mobilize them to hospitals and facilities most in need.
