撰写Cctv news(Reporter Kang Yanlong): "Even if we fight hard, we will not leave any patients behind!" Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus epidemic, doctors in the hemodialysis center of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine have stuck to their posts and provided life support for more than 200 patients. For them, the hemodialysis center is not in the forefront of fighting the epidemic, but it is also a battlefield and an important guarantee for the continuation of life of hemodialysis patients.
"If you can’t be hemodialysis, you can only wait for death."
Mr. Jiang, a 67-year-old hemodialysis patient, was originally scheduled for hemodialysis treatment at 9 am, but he arrived at the hemodialysis center in Huayuanshan Campus of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine two hours earlier.
According to the latest regulations of the hospital, medical staff should take the temperature of each patient first. The nurse took Mr. Jiang’s temperature twice and found that his temperature was 37.6℃.
"Dad, you have a fever. Now COVID-19 is very serious. To be on the safe side, please come with me to the fever clinic for further examination." The nurse told Mr. Jiang. This made Mr. Jiang’s mood suddenly excited: "I am just a cold, why do you make a mountain out of a molehill!" After persuasion by Wang Xianfang, the head nurse of the center, and others, Mr. Jiang’s mood gradually eased.
"Nurse, it’s not that I don’t cooperate. If I enter the isolation ward and can’t be hemodialysis, I can only wait for death." After Mr. Jiang calmed down, he told the reason for his emotional excitement.
According to Wang Xianfang, the head nurse of the center, hemodialysis patients are a very special group, and most of them need hemodialysis treatment three times a week. Severe uremia patients or patients with acute renal failure will have serious complications and lead to death if hemodialysis treatment cannot be carried out on time.
"Count me in, many people do more."
Nurse Zhang Gang was born in 1995. She asked the head nurse to send her to the front several times. She said, "The head nurse can count me in. Although I haven’t worked long, many people can do more."
Liu Junhui, the head nurse, said that he was very touched that these young and tender children could be so brave.
In the face of the epidemic, the central medical staff didn’t want to retreat, but they all faced difficulties. When the isolation ward of the hospital was short of manpower, many doctors in the Department of Nephrology set an example and took the lead in supporting it.
It is understood that there are more than 200 patients in the hemodialysis center of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. On average, each patient is treated three times a week for four hours at a time, and more than 20 medical staff in the center can complete all the treatments in shifts from 7 am to 11 pm.
Nurses Chen Meng and Liu Yanggang finished their work and went to the isolation ward for support without a short break. Doctor Zhou Huihua has urinary system infection. She insists on infusion treatment for half a day and sticks to her post for half a day. Li Xiangming, a health worker, completed all the cleaning work of the department by himself … … From the beginning of the epidemic to the present, they open their doors at 6 o’clock every morning and finish their work at 9 o’clock in the evening, facing almost doubled workload … …
"Because Wuhan Tianyou Hospital was established as a designated hospital for fever, our department later received 54 dialysis patients from Tianyou Hospital." Doctor Liu Junhui said. So the medical staff changed from two shifts to three shifts, and most of them lived directly in the hospital.
"Even if we fight hard, we won’t leave any of us."
After Wuhan "closed the city", patients’ travel became a problem. Ms. Wan, 63, returned to her hometown in Dawu County for the New Year years ago, but she didn’t expect to meet a "closed city". Ms. Wan, who was originally dialyzed three times a week, has not been dialyzed for a week, and symptoms such as headache and high blood pressure have begun to appear. Without dialysis treatment, it is likely to be life-threatening. After learning about Ms. Wan’s situation, Professor Huang Xuebing of the Center immediately issued a certificate to Ms. Wan to help her return to Han smoothly.
Autoimmunity of hemodialysis patients is low, and they belong to the high-risk population in COVID-19. "There are 4 highly suspected patients in Huayuanshan Hemodialysis Center, and one of them was diagnosed yesterday. There are 3 highly suspected patients in Optics Valley." Wang Xianfang said, "The hospital opened an isolation dialysis area for these seven patients for special dialysis to prevent cross-infection."
Increase the frequency of disinfection in treatment areas and public areas, measure the temperature of each patient and accompanying family members, evacuate people, and carry out high-frequency health education … … The center has done its homework in epidemic prevention and control. "Our efforts have been recognized by everyone. The patients not only overcame the traffic inconvenience and arrived on time, but also consciously wore masks, washed their hands and actively cooperated with temperature measurement." Liu Junhui said.
Patients in the waiting area
"At first, when there was a serious shortage of medical materials, our protective clothing was disinfected with ultraviolet rays and then worn the next day. A set of protective clothing was worn for at least three days until it was broken and there was no way to wear it." Wang Xianfang said that even if there are many difficulties, even if we are desperate, we will not leave any patients behind!
