At midnight on March 29, a sudden night rain added a chill to the early spring air in Shenyang. In front of Shenyang Stomatological Hospital in Guilin Street, Heping District, Shenyang City, a white mobile medical treatment vehicle is still brightly lit. At 1 o'clock on March 30, Jin Zhaohui, director of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, wearing a thick protective suit, was still nervously sorting out the instruments with several nurses, waiting for the arrival of a patient.

Shenyang Stomatological Hospital had previously received a notice that a patient in the closed control area of Hunnan District was bleeding profusely and needed 120 transport for emergency medical treatment. The hospital opened the green medical channel for the first time - in the mobile diagnosis and treatment vehicle for patients.
During the waiting for the 120 transport patients, emergency department doctor Li Weixuan contacted the patient by phone 3 times to inquire about the progress of the patient's condition, calm the patient's emotions, instruct the patient to bite the cotton ball to stop the bleeding locally, and also told him to be careful not to swallow the cotton ball.

At 1:37 a.m., the patient was transferred to the hospital by 120 ambulance. Upon examination, it was found that due to periodontitis, large pieces of tartar in individual teeth pressed against the gums, resulting in local active bleeding in the mouth. Jin Zhaohui immediately cleaned the tartar and granulation under local anesthesia for the patient, pressed with a gel to stop the bleeding sponge at the bleeding point, and sutured to stop the bleeding. After half an hour of intense treatment, the bleeding in the patient's mouth completely stopped.
Shenyang's epidemic prevention and control war has entered a critical period, and almost all dental disease prevention and treatment clinics in Shenyang have been closed. Shenyang Stomatological Hospital has taken on the heavy responsibility of accepting dental patients from all over the city. While ensuring the safe treatment of ordinary patients entering the hospital, the hospital decided to use the mobile diagnosis and treatment vehicle as a treatment room for patients from "special areas" to ensure that emergency patients in the sealing and control areas and control areas can be treated in a timely manner.

One week after the start of the mobile diagnosis and treatment vehicle, it has received a number of emergency patients in the control area and the sealing area. On March 24, a 4-year-old child with a sudden oral emergency in the Control Area of Dadong District received timely treatment here; on March 27, a trauma emergency patient did not report 48 hours of nucleic acid, the hospital did not refuse treatment, did not delay treatment, and quickly carried out emergency trauma treatment for patients in mobile medical treatment vehicles after taking effective prevention and control measures.
Zhang Guirong, president of Shenyang Stomatological Hospital, said: "There are certain risks in mobile diagnosis and treatment vehicles, but none of our medical staff have flinched, they are all actively asking for battle, at this moment, we are closely connected with the hearts of patients."
