Touching stories

Guangzhou Daily News (All-media reporter Chen Zhijia correspondent Yin Bei) Hemodialysis patients are a special group, they need regular dialysis, for them, dialysis is life. In the face of the sudden epidemic, what should be done with hemodialysis patients stranded in the sealing area? What kind of story are they going through? In the prevention and control zone of Zhuhai People's Hospital, the hemodialysis machine carrying the "lifeline" runs all night...

Six hemodialysis patients were transferred from the containment area overnight

No in and out, the south screen sealing control upgrade! When the epidemic struck, Zhuhai City took immediate measures against the epidemic-related areas, but at the same time required the implementation of a "green channel" mechanism for pregnant women and patients with major diseases, and resolutely did not let a person in need delay in seeking medical treatment.

Since the afternoon of January 16, Zhuhai People's Hospital, as a designated treatment hospital for patients in the sealing and control area and emergency and critical illness for epidemic-related personnel, has successively received calls for help from various communities, and needs to receive 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 wearing and taking off of protective clothing, ambulance disinfection, CT examination and other factors, 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 in one night.

The hospital immediately dispatched medical staff and drivers from the emergency department, interventional medicine department, infection department, general external department, traditional Chinese medicine department, and Gaolangang Hospital to form 6 groups of special transfer classes and closed-loop management. With the support of the Zhuhai 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.

In order to better ensure the medical treatment work in the prevention and control zone, the Municipal People's Hospital held a work conference on Strengthening Epidemic Prevention and Control and Medical Security on January 14, 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. 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.

"I was very anxious to stay at home, and my family was worried, but it wasn't long before the hospital took me over. They are very professional and patient, the environment here is good, the arrangements are very thoughtful, we are very touched, a big stone in the heart of the family landed, give you praise! Aunt Chen, who had been admitted to the prevention and control area of Zhuhai People's Hospital to prepare for hemodialysis, gave a thumbs up.

Admitted 11 patients with residual hemodialysis and closed-loop management

"Life is supreme, hemodialysis patients can't afford to wait!" According to Zhang Rui, director of the Department of Nephrology, in fact, since the outbreak of the epidemic on the 14th, the Department of Nephrology of Zhuhai People's Hospital has continuously treated 11 patients with stranded hemodialysis 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. On the night of the 16th, a number of patients were transferred again overnight, which was to ensure the regular dialysis of patients who had 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. Because many of the patients who came to the hospital temporarily were patients with a history of chronic diseases, some patients did not bring hypertension drugs, insulin, hypoglycemic drugs, etc. with them, and the Nephrology Department 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 in a hurry, the heart is also more nervous, the hospital logistics department also prepared some daily necessities for patients, and will be equipped with meals every day to relieve the tension of patients and the worries of their families.

"Originally I wanted to go back to my hometown with my brother, he wanted to get married, but the epidemic suddenly 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 on 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, once without dialysis, there is a danger to my life, and I must come back." ”

As of press time on the 17th, Zhuhai People's Hospital received the demand for hemodialysis from 11 hemodialysis patients located in the Nanping sealing and control area, and the medical staff accelerated their busyness.
