Defend life in white robes! Successful treatment under epidemic prevention and control

On January 15, during the critical period of the Battle of Omiclon, the General Surgery Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital received a 60-year-old patient diagnosed with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. After arriving in the hospital, the patient had severe abdominal pain, a heart rate of 150 beats per minute, a blood pressure of 45/28 mmHg, and a critical condition, in a state of near death.

After learning of the situation, Professor Dai Xiangchen, the director of the department, while doing a good job in strictly controlling the epidemic situation, and in line with the responsibility of not being delayed in the timing of treatment, decided to overcome difficulties and operate on the patient as soon as possible. With the support of hospital leaders and relevant departments, the treatment team was actively organized, and the hybrid interventional operating room, anesthesia department, operating room, blood transfusion department and other departments were coordinated, and the minimally invasive interventional abdominal aortic aneurysm intraluminal isolation surgery was immediately implemented for the patient.

The surgeons of vascular surgery carried out the operation for more than 5 hours under the condition of wearing the isolation gown, radiation-proof lead coat and sterile surgical gown triple equipment. During the operation, the whole body was extremely hot, the isolation mask was foggy, and it was difficult to breathe, and the doctors of the vascular surgery team adhered to the medical oath of saving lives and helping the injured, overcame difficulties, quickly treated, and blocked the ruptured abdominal aorta in the first time, and the patient restored normal vital signs and saved the patient's life in time.

Although the doctors were soaked and tired after the operation, everyone was proud to successfully treat patients under the premise of ensuring the safety of epidemic prevention and control. Patients are able to escape the ventilator's assisted breathing on the first day after surgery and can eat a small amount.
