There is a kind of "relay" in this world that allows love and life to continue. On October 23, a pair of parents in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, made such a touching move: their 13-year-old child Xiao Gang was rescued at the Municipal Workers' Hospital because of cerebral hemorrhage, but unfortunately it was not rescued and was confirmed to be brain dead. Xiao Gang's parents were devastated to learn the news, but they finally decided to donate their son's heart, liver, kidney and other organs and cornea tissues to let his life continue in the other 6 lives!
After systematic matching, Xiao Gang's donated organs will be sent to Beijing, Shanghai, Zhengzhou and Nanning and other cities to save 6 patients. Among them, Xiao Gang's heart was successfully matched with a female heart failure patient in Beijing Fuwai Hospital, and his left kidney was matched with a 9-year-old patient in Shanghai Changhai Hospital.
Xu Kui, a doctor at Beijing Fuwai Hospital, said that within 6 hours of the heart leaving the body is the best time for surgery, and the success rate will be higher. But depending on the flight time, they need to have surgery around 10 a.m. today (23rd).
"We were flying at 11:50 so it was a bit of a rush too! Theoretically, the ischemia of the kidneys can be a little longer than the heart, but the time is definitely as soon as possible, because the patient there will be a transplant right away. Zhang Pei, a doctor at Shanghai Changhai Hospital, said.
In order to ensure that the organs can be delivered to the airport as soon as possible and sent to Beijing and Shanghai for surgery, the Liuzhou Medical Emergency Command Center requested assistance from the Liuzhou traffic police on the 22nd, hoping to open up a "green channel" to win more time for the donated organs to be transplanted as soon as possible.
After receiving the request for assistance, the Liuzhou traffic police immediately organized relevant departments to discuss and formulate a plan. Since from the new site of Liuzhou Workers' Hospital to Bailian Airport to take the city road, the traffic flow is large and the road conditions are complicated, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the road, the traffic police detachment decided to send 3 iron riders from the mobile brigade to open the way for ambulances, and take the West Outer Ring Road Expressway to Bailian Airport. The police force of the command department police brigade remotely monitored in the monitoring center, opened a 37-kilometer "green wave belt of life", and the jurisdictional brigade and highway traffic police along the way sent police forces to carry out diversion and control on the roads and intersections of the road, racing against time to complete this special "relay run".
At 11 o'clock, the doctors took Xiao Gang's heart and left kidney to sit on the ambulance, starting from the Municipal Workers' Hospital, many vehicles on the way heard the sirens of the whistle and slowed down to give way, under the full cooperation of the monitoring center and the road police force, the original 50-minute journey took only 25 minutes, at 11:25, the ambulance successfully arrived at Bailian Airport, and the medical staff successfully boarded the plane with the transplanted organs.
"The hanging heart can basically land on the ground, I hope the transplant goes smoothly!" Liu Hua, instructor of the third squadron of the mobile brigade of the traffic police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that it was very urgent to receive this task before, and the road conditions along the road were very complicated, so they studied for a long time, and finally chose to take the high speed, which greatly shortened the travel time and successfully completed the escort task.
At 18:11, good news came from Beijing Fuwai Hospital, after surgery, the heart after implanting the receptor has re-beat and restored blood supply, and the transplantation of Xiao Gang's other organs is also in full swing.
