Completion of construction of a children's regional hospital in Krasnogorsk was estimated at 2.6 billion rubles
The directorate of the capital construction customer of the Moscow region announced a tender for the completion of the construction of a building for the regional children's hospital in Krasnogorsk and the supply of equipment there. The initial price of the contract is 2.57 billion rubles. In 2021, the value of the contract for the construction of the facility was 10 billion rubles. The new hospital building has a capacity of 420 beds. The total area of the facility will be 114.6 thousand square meters. m. Implementation of the project should take no more than 164 calendar days from the start date of work.
The clinic, according to the project, should have departments: infectious diseases, ophthalmology, neurology, otorhinolaryngology, traumatology and orthopedic, combined trauma, rehabilitation, neurosurgery, cardiology and arrhythmology, three surgical and two pediatric, as well as two resuscitation and intensive care departments. In addition, a helipad is provided for the prompt delivery of patients.
1,200 modern defibrillator monitors were purchased for ambulances
All ambulances in the capital will be equipped with modern defibrillator monitors by the beginning of 2024. To date, almost 900 such devices are already helping doctors save the lives of Muscovites. They provide the opportunity to stabilize patients on site during arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and many other critical conditions.
New defibrillator monitors can remotely transmit clinical data about patients and operate in both manual and automatic modes - the device itself will check the heart rhythm and determine the need for defibrillation, as well as adjust the characteristics of the required discharge.
In addition, the new devices for the first time include the function of capnometry, that is, measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in the patient’s exhaled air. This helps to effectively monitor the patient’s condition and timely determine the moment when the heart begins to work independently, when resuscitation measures can already be stopped.

In Russia they have learned to detect heart failure by analyzing saliva
Russian scientists, together with Serbian colleagues, have developed a device for relatively quickly detecting heart failure by analyzing a patient’s saliva, the Russian Science Foundation told RIA Novosti.
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in the world. To assess the risk of these diseases, a blood test is usually used. One of the markers of heart failure can be the NT-proBNP protein, which is released in large quantities during severe stress (stretch) in myocardial cells and actively enters the blood. A test for this protein has already entered clinical practice, but sometimes taking blood for analysis can be traumatic for the patient - for example, if he is in the intensive care unit and has suffered significant blood loss.
