Advanced medical tents are replacing the triage tents at University of Maryland Shore Medical Centers at Chestertown, Dorchester and Easton, according to an article on the MyEasterShoreMD website.
The new advanced medical tents will be used to supplement UM Shore Regional Health’s surge capacity plans.
Care provided in the advanced medical tents does not include testing for COVID-19, as UM Shore Regional Health hospitals are not designated as outpatient testing sites.
The advanced medical tents can be connected to the hospital’s electric power but also include a generator. A wastewater tank will be maintained by a sanitation company, and the hospitals’ vendor will supply oxygen and medical air.
