There is a call for help in the control area! On the 19th, Xiong Yi, vice president of Shenzhen Luohu Hospital, received a call for help from the Qingshuihe Street community, and learned that there was a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the Qingshuihe Street Control Area who urgently needed PICC catheter (peripheral venipuncture center venous catheter) maintenance. Xiong Yi quickly contacted Zhou Fangzheng, director of the Department of Radiotherapy of Luohu Hospital, and Zhou Fangzheng immediately discussed the emergency medical treatment plan with the head nurse Yang Yuxiang of the Department of Radiotherapy, arranged for the medical staff of the department to urgently prepare diagnosis and treatment materials, docked with the community, and quickly arrived at the designated area to provide door-to-door medical services for patients.

PICC tubes are not maintained in time at risk of clogging and venous thrombosis

"This patient underwent PICC catheterization in the outer hospital, the postoperative pipeline needs to be maintained once a week, and it has reached the time that it needs maintenance, plus the patient has been discharged from the hospital after chemotherapy in recent days, and there may be complications such as white blood cells, platelet decline, liver and kidney function damage, and blood need to be drawn to monitor relevant indicators." If it is delayed for a long time, there is a risk of infection, blockage and even the formation of blood clots. Zhou Fangzheng introduced.

Medical care is ready to come to the door

In the afternoon of the same day, the "catheter maintenance team" composed of Zhang Haosheng, a radiotherapy doctor at Luohu Hospital, and Chen Xiaoyan, a nurse, set off immediately after determining the doortime through the community and the patient. Zhang Haosheng and Chen Xiaoyan carried disposable dressing kits, PICC transparent dressings, sterile treatment towels, blood drawers, disinfectants and other medical supplies, took a taxi to the entrance and exit of the Qingshuihe Street Control Area in Luohu, prepared to change into protective clothing and walked to the building where the patient was located, performing health assessment, PICC pipeline maintenance and blood drawing for the patient.

The first time I "touched" to the destination, the second time I became familiar with the road

Because it was the first time to visit the door, unfamiliar with the road conditions and specific control conditions in the control area, the "catheter maintenance team" more than once went to the wrong entrance and detoured. "After we took a taxi to get out of the car, we found that the intersection could not go in, and we walked to another intersection, thinking that we could get in, but the protective clothing was changed, and we found that we still couldn't get in." Nurse Chen Xiaoyan said.

Fortunately, they finally "touched" the destination smoothly. After the patient presents the health code and wears the mask tightly, the medical staff performs relevant diagnosis and treatment for him. Nurse Chen Xiaoyan performed PICC tube nursing for the patient, and Dr. Zhang Haosheng inquired about the patient's relevant medical history, physical examination, improved relevant examinations, and explained the patient's follow-up treatment precautions. The patient was very satisfied with this and thanked the medical staff for their care and concern before leaving.

A week has passed, and it is time to give patients door-to-door catheter maintenance, and the catheter maintenance team of Luohu Hospital needs to visit the door again. Zhang Haosheng worked the night shift last night, and shortly after leaving the night shift this morning, he began to make preparations in the department. "Because considering that the patient needs to draw blood at this visit, we leave early and the patient can eat breakfast early." He said. "With the experience of the last time, this time it is much better, at least it will not go the wrong way."

"Now is an extraordinary time, cancer patients are not easy, can not delay their treatment and care due to epidemic prevention and control, I believe that the epidemic will not last too long, the immediate difficulties can be overcome." Chen Xiaoyan said.
