Nandu News Reporter Li Rong "Emergency Department of South China Hospital! In a basketball court in Pinghu Street, someone fell unconscious, had no breathing, and needed emergency rescue. It is the morning rush hour of travel, the arrival of ambulances may take half an hour, the surrounding area is not equipped with AED, can you use drones to carry smart first aid kits for rescue? ”
"The emergency department of South China Hospital received it and immediately sent drones and ambulances to it!" With the sound of the ambulance's emergency whistle, a drone carrying smart glasses and emergency equipment such as AEDs took off in the square of South China Hospital; in just 10 minutes, the drone arrived at the established position of the call for help. The rescue passerby quickly removed the first aid kit, put on the smart glasses, and successfully performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the patient under the guidance of the emergency doctor through real-time visual communication with the emergency command center of South China Hospital, and operated AED for rescue. An ambulance that then arrives transports the comatose patient to the hospital for the next step of treatment.
This is a unique simulation test carried out by South China Hospital Affiliated to Shenzhen University in cooperation with local drone companies in Shenzhen in exploring new UAV first aid schemes and integrated emergency modes of air-land integration, and for sudden cardiac arrest scenarios.
"As an emergency department doctor, the most anxious thing is that when following the 120 ambulance out of the car, it is blocked on the road, unable to quickly arrive at the scene, unable to know the patient's situation, and unable to treat the patient in time." If there is a drone that flies quickly through the air barrier-free, brings smart glasses to the scene, gives the doctor a pair of clairvoyant eyes, brings the emergency equipment to the scene, and gives the doctor a good helper, it will greatly increase the probability of patients getting effective treatment in the fastest time. Zhang Xiaoming, director of the emergency department of South China Hospital affiliated to Shenzhen University, said, "This is the future emergency scene we imagined, and now it has become a reality, which makes us feel very excited." ”
It is reported that 544,000 patients with cardiac arrest occur in China every year, and an average of 1 case of cardiac arrest occurs every minute, and high-quality chest compressions (CPR) and timely automated external defibrillator (AED) application can effectively save patients' lives. Every minute and second of the rescue of patients with cardiac arrest determines the life and death and prognosis of patients.
The UAV emergency smart rescue simulation test uses the advantages of the UAV can not be affected by road traffic conditions for high-speed flight, combined with the on-site perception platform of smart glasses, and strives to achieve the first time to let patients who need to be rescued get professional doctors remote on-site assessment and command rescue, to achieve the purpose of "early arrival, early diagnosis and treatment" of the UAV, and win time and improve efficiency for the rescue of cardiac arrest patients.
"In the field of first aid, time is life, and the sooner effective treatment is implemented, the more likely it is to outperform the god of death to save patients." Professor Zhou Rongbin, member of the Emergency Quality Control Center of the National Health Commission, director general of the Emergency Physician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and emergency department of the Seventh Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, said, "This is a very innovative and meaningful attempt, and we are also looking forward to the continuous scientific research and exploration and the joint efforts of many parties, such a drone smart first aid model can be supplemented into the current emergency system as soon as possible to benefit patients." ”
Shenzhen is the "UAV capital", as a directly affiliated hospital of Shenzhen University, South China Hospital inherits the excellent genes of Shenzhen dare to try, and takes the lead in carrying out the UAV emergency intelligent rescue simulation test nationwide, which is a new attempt in the context of South China Hospital to build a 5G + smart benchmark hospital and a pure robot hospital in the new year, and also provides a new research and development idea for the construction of multi-channel emergency channels for sea, land and air in the application of UAV in medical emergency and even disaster medicine.
Wu Song, president of the South China Hospital affiliated to Shenzhen University, said that the next step will be to try to expand the scope of the UAV emergency intelligent rescue test to the treatment of patients with trauma, asthma, poisoning, chest pain, pregnancy and other patients.
