Coronavirus: NHS whistleblower says nurses advised to 'walk away' from Covid-19 heart attack victims over 'inadequate' PPE
Staff caring for Covid-19 victims at a major hospital in Wales have been advised to “walk away” from patients in the event of a major emergency such as a cardiac arrest because of inadequate protective equipment, a whistleblower claimed.
A senior nurse at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen told i she believed that clinicians and patients were being put at risk because she and her colleagues had been provided with only standard surgical masks and plastic aprons as personal protective equipment (PPE) to care for coronavirus victims.
