Hemodialysis patients are a special group that needs regular dialysis, for whom dialysis is life. In the face of the sudden epidemic, what should be done with hemodialysis patients stranded in the sealing area? In the prevention and control zone of Zhuhai People's Hospital, the hemodialysis machine carrying the "lifeline" runs all night...
Healthcare workers are transporting hemodialysis patients stranded in the containment area
Assemble 6 teams to transport 6 stranded hemodialysis patients
On the afternoon of January 16, Zhuhai Municipal People's Hospital, as a designated hospital for the treatment of patients in the sealing and control area and the acute and critical illness of epidemic-related personnel, received calls for help from various communities and needed to admit and treat 6 hemodialysis patients stranded in the sealing and control area. The hospital organized a medical treatment expert group and a consultation expert group to start a special transfer class at the first time, hoping that the stranded hemodialysis patients would be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible and safely. However, due to the fact that the sealing area is still a certain distance from the hospital, coupled with the factors such as wearing and taking off protective clothing, ambulance disinfection, CT examination, etc., it takes about 3 hours to transport a patient, and there must be enough medical staff and vehicles to complete the transfer of multiple patients within one night.
"Life is supreme, hemodialysis patients can't afford to wait!" The hospital immediately deployed medical staff and drivers from the emergency department, interventional medicine department, infection department, general pediatrics, traditional Chinese medicine department, and Gaolangang Hospital to form 6 groups of special classes for transfer and closed-loop management. With the support of the Municipal Health Bureau, 6 groups of transport teams quickly assembled to pick up the stranded hemodialysis patients from their homes in the sealed area to the hospital.
It is reported that on January 14, the hospital held a working meeting on strengthening epidemic prevention and control and medical security, and coordinated the emergency use of reserved wards. However, due to the fact that 105 acute and critically ill patients in the city's prevention and control area have been admitted and treated, and a single room must be guaranteed, the ward is still very scarce. Therefore, the hospital also urgently allocated the radiotherapy center as a special area for treatment in the prevention and control area, and quickly completed disinfection and various preparations within 2 hours to ensure that patients who need hemodialysis are admitted on the night of reception.
"Originally, I was very anxious to stay at home, and my family was worried, but it wasn't long before the hospital took me over, and they were very professional and patient, and the arrangements were very thoughtful." A big stone in the heart of the family has landed, give you a thumbs up! Aunt Chen, who has been admitted to the prevention and control area of the Municipal People's Hospital to prepare for hemodialysis, gave a thumbs up to the medical staff.
Paramedics in ambulances
Equip patients with routine medication and necessities
According to Zhang Rui, director of the Department of Nephrology, since January 14, the Department of Nephrology of Zhuhai People's Hospital has continuously treated 11 stranded hemodialysis patients and carried out closed-loop management, and deployed 5 bedside blood purification machines for blood purification treatment in the special area, and sent 4 additional nursing staff into the special area for professional nursing of patients. The simultaneous transfer of multiple patients overnight is to ensure the regular dialysis of patients who have been admitted to the hospital, to plan all aspects of manpower, equipment, transport and other links, and to analyze and evaluate the condition according to the patients.
"Since many of the patients who came to the hospital temporarily were patients with a history of chronic diseases, and some patients did not have hypertension drugs, insulin, hypoglycemic drugs, etc. with them, we also immediately contacted the medical department to allocate other departments for consultation, and matched the patient's routine medication to ensure the safety of patient diagnosis and treatment." Some patients are more nervous because they are in a hurry, and the hospital logistics department has also prepared some daily necessities for patients, and will also be equipped with meals every day to relieve the patient's nervousness and the worries of the family. Zhang Rui said.
"Originally I wanted to go back to my hometown with my brother, he wanted to get married, but the epidemic broke out, I received a notice on the highway on the 13th that the hospital needed to increase manpower, so I directly turned back and left my brother alone in the car", Huang Linying, a nurse in the hemodialysis room, said frankly, "Although I feel guilty about my family, I think these are patients with long-term regular dialysis, for them, a non-dialysis will be life-threatening, and I must come back." Now our department works 14 hours a day, and everyone has no complaints. ”
On the 17th, as of the time of the reporter's press release, Zhuhai People's Hospital received the demand for hemodialysis from 11 hemodialysis patients in the sealing and control area, and the medical staff accelerated their busyness to prepare for the next "relay race"...
