Swamped with flu patients, Dell Children's Medical Center sets up triage tents

Dell Children's Medical Center is seeing so many children sick with what is presumed to be swine flu, it expects to start treating some of them in tents starting today.

The hospital was on pace Monday afternoon for an all-time record number of patients after seeing more than 200 before 3 p.m. — the normal load for a 24-hour period, said Sister Teresa George, chief operating officer. During the school year, the busy time starts after 3 p.m., when schools are out, George said. Hospital officials said most of the children arriving at the emergency room are mildly to moderately ill with the H1N1 virus. The hospital isn't routinely testing to determine what type of flu patients have, but federal health officials say virtually all flu circulating now is H1N1.
