Health professionals warn ICU beds are a ‘finite resource’

Australian College of Critical Care Nurses President Alison Hodak says intensive care beds are a "finite resource” and the public should comply with government restrictions to show support for health care workers. Ms Hodak told Sky News adhering to social gathering bans was what “nurses really need the public to do so that we can help them in the hospitals and have the space in the hospitals if they need us”. She said a spike in the number of infections was “something that we absolutely need to prepare for" amid concerns Australia could follow the path of Italy - where hospitals have been overwhelmed by the number of COVID-19 cases. The ACCCN president said hospitals across the country were looking to source more nurses to work in intensive care units as an increase in the number of serious cases was expected.
