Flu A uptick and severity
Hi, Im a 25 year ICU RN, just joined to see if what I’m seeing at my hospital is just an anomaly or something more ubiquitous. I work in the PNW area and my ICU is filled with very sick Flu A patients. 10 bed unit today had 7 vents and 2 HFNC all flu A positive with sever pneumonia, 4 full blown ARDS and now pronning. Feels like the Delta Covid wave in some ways.. everyone nurse back in PAPRs and N95s. Also, we’ve been in questioning the patient’s and families and none of them got the flu shot this year. Anyone else seeing something similar in their area?
