The volunteer service team went to the grassroots level to provide free clinics, the "mobile eye clinic" received patients in the "Guangming Bus", and the CPR first aid training saved lives...... The city's health industry has carried out a variety of medical volunteer services for the convenience and benefit of the people, and has gone to the grassroots level to deliver health to the people. With the establishment of the medical and health volunteer service training base of the China Volunteer Federation in our city, it will cultivate professional medical volunteer service talents, meet the health needs of the people, and make the flower of volunteerism a more beautiful "scenery" of the city's health industry.
Municipal Eye Hospital
"Bright Bus" and "Lifeline Express" free diagnosis and treatment by medical experts
The Municipal Eye Hospital has an "Ophthalmology Community Service Through Train", which is affectionately called the "Bright Bus" by the people. The "Guangming Bus" carries medical volunteer service experts and advanced instruments and equipment to go deep into communities and villages, units, schools, nursing homes, construction sites, etc., to carry out free free consultation, medical and medicine delivery, help the weak and disabled, poverty alleviation and other public welfare volunteer services.
The "Bright Bus" of the Municipal Eye Hospital carried out volunteer services.
The establishment of the "Ophthalmology Community Service Express" team can be traced back to 2006, in order to build a "mobile eye health management center" around the people with high-quality volunteer services, the hospital invested in the construction of a high-tech, high-precision equipment "Ophthalmology Community Service Express", and equipped with a team of medical staff are registered volunteers. In the past 20 years, with the advanced examination equipment equipped with the through train, it has provided continuous diagnosis and treatment services such as screening, diagnosis and treatment, and has truly become a "mobile ophthalmology clinic" around the people, covering Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Mongolia, Hunan and other provinces, autonomous regions and cities.
When the "Guangming Bus" came to Nanrenfu Village, Baodi District, our city, the villagers came early in the morning to wait in line. As soon as the bus arrived, the expert volunteers started a busy free clinic without taking a break, and carried out a detailed eye examination for nearly 100 people on the same day, distributed drugs according to the results of the examination, guided everyone to use drugs scientifically, and explained the common sense of eye care and eye care to the villagers.
When the "Guangming Bus" traveled thousands of miles to Shaoshan, Hunan Province for free clinic, the villagers from ten miles and eight townships also waited at the scene early. Information registration, visual acuity, comprehensive optometry, intraocular pressure measurement, slit lamp microscopic examination, fundus examination, etc., expert volunteers tirelessly explained to the villagers. The villagers said: "The former residence of Chairman Mao in Shaoshan is visited by thousands of tourists every day, and it is the first time that those who have come all the way to the free clinic by bus have seen it, and the dedication of the experts of Tianjin Eye Hospital is too touching." ”
According to statistics, the "Guangming Bus" has traveled more than 90,000 kilometers so far, provided more than 180,000 free eye examinations and optometry, distributed more than 170,000 copies of ophthalmic science materials, and donated more than 40,000 medicines, repairs and cleaning glasses. Expert volunteers who participate in medical volunteer services often get on the bus just after surgery, and eat in the car or in the service area in order to save time and give one more person a check-up, so as to meet the eye health needs of the masses to the greatest extent.
From 2012 to 2013, the hospital was appointed by the former Ministry of Health to participate in the "China Lifeline Express Brightness Tour" activity, and sent the top experts to form a volunteer team to assist Lifeline Express in carrying out public welfare diagnosis and treatment.
Lifeline Express is a "train eye hospital" dedicated to the free treatment of cataract patients across the country, including wards, examinations, operating carriages and advanced ophthalmic medical equipment. The medical volunteers of the hospital have successively served in 5 stations, including Yulin in Guangxi, Yinchuan in Ningxia, Longyan in Fujian, Xinxiang in Henan, and Shaoguan in Guangdong, serving for a total of 17 months, and completing 6,204 cataract surgeries.
Teenagers are the future of the motherland, as the city-level children and adolescents myopia prevention and control base hospital, Heping District district-level children and adolescents myopia prevention and control base hospital, the hospital set up the "adolescent myopia prevention and control propaganda volunteer service team" to broaden the channels of volunteer service participation.
The volunteer service team went deep into primary and secondary schools to conduct vision screening, comprehensively and accurately assess students' eye health through eye health examinations, computer optometry, etc., and established eye health records and vision development files for each student, so as to achieve early monitoring, early detection, early warning, and early intervention.
The volunteer service team also gave full play to the advantages of ophthalmology, carried out online and offline youth myopia science lectures for the public, and went deep into schools to carry out eye health science publicity. At Yueyang Dao Primary School in Heping District, volunteers guided and helped students carry out "recess telescopic exercises" to relieve eye fatigue and prevent the occurrence and development of myopia. At Tanggu Caochangjie Primary School in Binhai New Area, volunteers introduced the knowledge of eye structure and eye care methods to the students, and also took the students to practice visual training lens exercises to exercise eye muscles to protect their eyesight.
City Chest Clinic
Popularize CPR skills and "transform" emergency care into volunteers
"In daily life, if someone falls to the ground and screams, the first thing to do is to judge whether they are fainting, falling asleep, drunk or in cardiac arrest...... "We can use the "simulator" to demonstrate and educate, "We can take 'tap and shout', judge consciousness, observe the rise and fall of the chest, and at the same time use the method of touching the carotid artery to quickly judge the ......"
"As soon as cardiac arrest is identified, CPR should be initiated immediately. "Kneel on the patient's side, keeping both knees at the same level, adults choose the midpoint of the line between the two nipples, aim at this point with the roots of the palms of the hands, cross the hands and clasp the ten fingers together, and perform compressions at a depth of about 5 centimeters and a frequency of 100 to 120 times per minute." ”
Volunteers from the Municipal Chest Hospital conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.
This is a cardiopulmonary resuscitation emergency medical volunteer service project carried out by the emergency department of the Municipal Chest Hospital, and a training was recently conducted for the public. Emergency medical staff "transformed" into medical volunteers, introducing and demonstrating every detail and every action. The crowd listened attentively and observed, and they all got started to operate and practice on the "simulator".
"Arms clamped, hands folded perpendicular to the ground, waist strained, eyes looking directly at the patient, in case consciousness is restored immediately stop. "Pinch the nose and wrap the patient's mouth during artificial respiration to prevent gas leakage. "The medical volunteers guide and check the operation process and actions one by one to ensure that everyone has an accurate grasp of the essentials.
Mr. Liu, who participated in the training, was deeply touched: "If you don't know first aid, you can only call 120, which is a life that can be saved in time, but maybe you miss the best time." Ms. Zhang is also full of confidence in her skills, she said: "In the future, if I really encounter special circumstances, I believe that I will also have the ability and confidence to help others." ”
According to Li Zhaoying, the head of the project and the attending physician of the emergency department of the Municipal Chest Hospital, there are about 544,000 cases of sudden cardiac death in mainland China every year, more than 70% of which occur outside the hospital, and the success rate of out-of-hospital treatment is less than 1%. The golden treatment time for cardiac arrest is only 4 minutes, and if the correct first aid is carried out in time within 4 minutes, the patient will have a nearly 50% probability of successful rescue. The mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction was the first in the country in 2014 to show an inflection point, but only about 30% of patients benefited from in-hospital first aid, and 70% of patients still failed to enter the in-hospital treatment system.
"Whether the first witness can quickly perform CPR is the key to the success of treatment, and it is very important to do a good job in popularizing CPR skills and chest pain-related knowledge. As medical professionals specializing in cardiovascular medicine, although the daily treatment work is heavy, everyone is willing to devote themselves to medical volunteer services to enhance the public's ability to help themselves and each other. Li Zhaoying said, "In recent years, we have carried out more than 140 trainings for professionals and the public, and 5,000 people have received training. This includes basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for medical and technical personnel in grassroots communities, and long-term cooperation with many enterprises and institutions, grassroots police stations, township governments, schools, etc., to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, cardiovascular disease science popularization and free clinics for the masses. ”
Li Zhaoying introduced that in order to solve the problems of standardization, standardization and scientificization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation first aid training projects, in 2023, the Youth League Municipal Committee, the Municipal Civilization Office, and the Municipal Health Commission jointly launched the "Becoming a 'Saving' and 'Heart' Healthy China Youth Tour - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science Popularization Volunteer Service and AED Defibrillator Donation Project", donating AED cardiac defibrillators in crowded places, and at the same time popularizing cardiopulmonary resuscitation first aid knowledge and cardiac defibrillation skills to the public. 100 quality control experts from the chest pain centers of 28 tertiary hospitals in the city have formed a 100-person cardiopulmonary resuscitation science popularization expert database, created a team of more than 4,500 cardiopulmonary resuscitation science popularization volunteers, and created a structured cardiopulmonary resuscitation science popularization publicity system that is simultaneously promoted by "science popularization volunteers + science popularization outlets + first aid equipment".
In 2023, the "Becoming 'Saving' and 'Heart' Life" project will carry out more than 350 CPR science training activities in the city, and promote the donation and deployment of more than 200 AEDs, covering youth homes, hope huts, hope primary schools, Hope Project training bases, village and town clinics, caring enterprises, densely populated public places, etc., and the promotion and implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills covers more than 50,000 people.
"Medical volunteer service has a long way to go, and we will continue to hold activities to bring cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills into enterprises, communities, and campuses, so that more people can make up for the lesson of first aid education, so that everyone will rescue and dare to rescue when accidents come, so as to save lives and reduce injuries to the greatest extent." Li Zhaoying said.
A central hospital in the city
Stroke prevention and treatment at the grassroots level, and a volunteer team of medical personnel was formed
In 2019, in order to reduce the risk and degree of disability after stroke, and reduce the family burden and social risk caused by the disease, the "Million Disability Reduction Project" project organized by the National Health Commission was officially launched.
A central hospital in the city conducts stroke screening for the masses.
As the base hospital of the project in our city, the medical staff of the Department of Neurology and other related departments have actively set up a stroke prevention and treatment volunteer service team of more than 100 people. The team members actively registered on the Tianjin Volunteer Service Network and carried out free medical volunteer services to provide free screening, free consultation and health guidance for patients, so as to improve the ability of the service population to identify stroke and reduce the disability rate of stroke.
Wang Zhiyun, team leader and director of the neurology department of the hospital, introduced that the stroke prevention and control volunteer service team has not only established a long-term volunteer service relationship with Wangdingdi Hospital in Nankai District, Water Park Hospital, Yangchengzhuang Township Hospital in Jinghai District, and Duliu Town Central Health Center, but also actively carried out multi-faceted publicity and education and free clinics based on hospitals, communities, schools, nursing homes, etc., and has screened more than 28,000 patients free of charge in the past five years.
"In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of stroke patients in rural areas, so we have especially strengthened the education and management of high-risk patients in townships and towns in our volunteer services, but villagers need to work during the day, and it is difficult to find time to conduct physical examinations for themselves and their families. Taking Jinghai District as an example, in order to ensure that more patients can benefit from the project, we set the volunteer service time as a premise, starting from the hospital at around 5 a.m. each time, and ensuring that screening and health guidance are carried out from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., so as not to delay the villagers to go to the fields to do farm work. Wang Zhiyun said.
Every time I volunteered in Jinghai District, there was an endless stream of villagers who came to consult. Volunteers will measure the height, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, glycosylated hemoglobin, carotid artery color ultrasound, electrocardiogram, etc. The results of the examination are summarized to the experts to provide the patient with a treatment plan and adjust the current dosage and method of medication. Volunteers will file the high-risk villagers screened for stroke one by one, analyze and explain in detail the intervention methods of high-risk factors, and guide the villagers to control the "three highs" such as reasonable diet, regular life, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol.
Science education is an indispensable part of every volunteer activity, and volunteers will give in-depth explanations to villagers about stroke identification, treatment, and prevention. "You see, this is the 'crossroads' of blood vessels, and if it is blocked, there may be cerebral infarction and other conditions. "Volunteers will draw simple diagrams on paper so that everyone can visualize the location of blood vessels and understand the pathogenesis of stroke more quickly.
Wang Zhiyun said that seeing a doctor and treating a doctor in a hospital is only point-to-point, and giving full play to the professional expertise of medical personnel and doing a good job of volunteer service can give full play to the efficiency of medical resources, which not only allows the masses to enjoy high-quality medical services without leaving home, but more importantly, through health education, the scientific prevention and treatment concept of "emphasizing prevention, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Set up a training base
Nurturing medical professionals
Volunteer service talents
