Medical workers express their heartfelt wishes: the general secretary has inspired our morale.
The news that General Secretary Hu Jintao had a discussion with medical workers in Guangzhou quickly spread to hospitals in Guangzhou, causing great repercussions. Ye Guangchun, Dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, conveyed the spirit of the general secretary's instructions to the medical staff of the whole hospital that afternoon. He said that the general secretary's words warmed our hearts and boosted our morale. Fighting against SARS is the mission entrusted by history to contemporary medical workers. Medical workers in Guangzhou must live up to expectations.
Jin Guohua, secretary of the Party Committee of Guangzhou Chest Hospital, was repeatedly interrupted by warm applause when he conveyed the general secretary's speech to colleagues in the hospital. /kloc-In the early morning of April, 0/5, she put on protective clothing and went to the isolation ward specially to bring condolences from the general secretary to the medical staff hospitalized here and strengthen their confidence in overcoming the disease. She said excitedly that the general secretary's concern for medical staff made us feel a great responsibility. Now, all the staff of Guangzhou Chest Hospital have said that while consolidating the achievements in fighting SARS, they must do their best to prevent and control SARS during the China Export Commodities Fair.
Deng Feng, director of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that General Secretary Hu Jintao's visit to the CDC was a great encouragement to the staff of the CDC in the whole province and even the whole country. We will further intensify our research and strengthen cooperation with scientific research institutions at home and abroad, hoping to find the pathogen of atypical pneumonia as soon as possible. At the same time, carry out in-depth education and training, so that monitoring and preventive measures can be implemented everywhere to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Looking back on the days and nights of fighting SARS in the past four months, the medical staff deeply felt that they had experienced an unprecedented test. In this contest between life and death, Guangzhou medical staff carried forward the humanitarian spirit of saving lives, bravely fought against illness and death, and wrote a hymn of life to compete with kapok.
Take urgent action on New Year's Eve and meet the challenge bravely.
On the New Year's Eve of the Year of the Horse, when thousands of families were reunited and immersed in festive celebrations, an urgent notice from the Guangzhou Municipal Health Bureau designated SARS patients for treatment, which broke the joy of many medical staff.
Less than 1 hour after the emergency notice was issued, Ye Guangchun, president of the First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Lai Yonghong and Li Yimin, vice presidents, rushed back to the hospital. Then, four patients with atypical pneumonia were transferred from other hospitals. Hospital leaders deployed overnight and soon set up isolation wards for SARS patients; Vacate a single ward for rescuing patients with severe atypical pneumonia; The drug supply department urgently increased the inventory of antiviral and rescue drugs by 2 million; The equipment department has equipped 19 ventilator and rescue equipment in the whole hospital; The General Affairs Section urgently purchases 12 layer masks, straw sticks, epoxy acetic acid and other disinfection items; Nursing department and hospital infection group strengthen disinfection and isolation management, and set up access buffer in special wards; The logistics service center starts the fire emergency smoke exhaust system, strengthens ventilation, configures nutritious meals and sends them to special wards.
The sudden atypical pneumonia made hospitals in Guangzhou face not only a technical test, but also a comprehensive examination of medical ethics. Almost all patients with severe atypical pneumonia are complicated with bacterial infection, and most of them are accompanied by multiple organ failure. According to literature reports, as long as there are more than four or five organ failures, the mortality rate is above 90%. However, medical staff have a belief that as long as there is hope of 1%, they must try their best to challenge the limit. Many hospitals put forward to the Municipal Health Bureau: "Please send the most critical patients to us!" Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine clearly announced: "No matter who the patient is, no matter whether he is rich or not, he should be given the best and most timely treatment!"
Zhong Nanshan, academician of China Academy of Engineering and leader of Guangdong expert group, has been working doggedly in the front line since the first case of atypical pneumonia was discovered, and has not slept for 72 hours. With the concerted efforts of Qi Xin, all the medical workers involved in the war, Qi Xin quickly found a breakthrough and explored a set of more effective treatment methods. Two patients with diffuse pulmonary exudation and dying were rescued by medical staff and successfully separated from the ventilator on the fifth day. After further symptomatic treatment, the patient's lung film is very clear, leaving no trace. One dying patient after another has been saved, and the recovery time is getting shorter and shorter.
Walking to work in the second hand, love is more infectious than SARS.
The Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou has the largest number of patients with atypical pneumonia. The number of critically ill patients infected in the first ward reached 19, and 1 1 ventilator operated continuously. One day's case data of a critically ill patient is equivalent to the sum of one day in a general ward. At the peak of 10 day, doctors always "step on the second hand to go to work", and go to work at 8: 00 every morning until 1 at night. Nurse Hu He, head nurse Nong Fei, and doctor Shen successively fainted in the ward because of fatigue, and after waking up, they plunged into intense work.
On the busiest day in the pharmacy department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 5250 boxes of antiviral oral liquid15,400 packets of Radix Isatidis granules19,400 packets were distributed, which was equivalent to nearly three months' consumption. After completing the daily preparation, the Chinese pharmacy has worked overtime to prepare 22,000 doses of "antiviral" prescription, and the dose of this dose alone is equivalent to more than ten times the usual workload.
Li Yimin, vice president of the First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and director of ICU, was called "Flying Man" by his colleagues. He shuttles to three or four places every day. Whenever he receives a phone call, he rushes on with a bag and a piece of bread. One day, he received more than 120 calls. His mobile phone was broken and his voice was hoarse.
From February 1 to February 13, Cai Weiping, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, didn't rest or sleep well all day. He went to various wards to give physical examinations to patients, participated in the first aid of critically ill patients, and intubated to take sputum samples. He usually falls asleep, but he often suffers from insomnia during that time. Due to overwork, he also contracted atypical pneumonia. On February 13, Cai Weiping began to have a fever, but he still didn't stop working. /kloc-In February of 0/9, he got worse, was diagnosed with atypical pneumonia, and resigned reluctantly.
Fall down one by one, come up one by one, and move forward wave by wave without regrets.
No matter how hard and tired the medical staff are, it's nothing. The biggest threat is that they are easily infected with atypical pneumonia. Especially in the ICU ward where critically ill patients are rescued, every patient may be the source of infection. In the early days, every time a critically ill patient was intubated, 2-3 medical staff fell down. In February, more than 20 medical staff of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were infected and sick one after another. But they didn't complain. The sick person apologized to his colleagues: "I'm really sorry for increasing your workload and making your responsibilities heavier." No one else flinched, and no one asked for leave. One person is ill, and the other person intervenes immediately. One after another, one after another. A wave of unrest, another wave.
At the critical moment when the situation became more and more serious and medical staff fell ill, Committee member the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Guangdong Provincial Party Secretary Zhang Dejiang, Governor Huang Huahua and relevant leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and Health Department sent cordial condolences to the hospital, which inspired the morale of frontline medical staff.
Xu Yuanda, a young ICU doctor in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, has not taken a day off for three consecutive months and stayed up for 48 hours to rescue patients. In three months, he only took two hours off in a hurry to arrange hospitalization for his father who had a heart attack. Later, he was unfortunately infected himself and lived in the ICU. On February 8, the Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou opened a new ward to expand accommodation, requiring more than 20 medical staff. The news came out that the number of applicants exceeded 50.
On the morning of February 1, a critically ill patient was sent to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. At that time, the patient coughed frequently and violently, and the lung X-ray showed that the inflammatory shadow had occupied most of the lungs and could die at any time. This kind of patients are easy to be infected by tracheal intubation. However, Deng Zide, an associate professor of infectious diseases, and the surrounding medical staff did not flinch until the patient's condition was stable, and they took off their heavily polluted clothes and hats. Zero-distance contact with pathogens, Deng Zide also unfortunately got severe pneumonia. In the hospital bed, he wrote a poem of self-encouragement: "To heal the wounded and rescue the dying, breaking the danger is the best, and suffering is not incomplete;" If you are determined to be a doctor, you will never regret it. When can I be strong again and hang the pot among the people again? " In fact, this is not only Deng Zide's medical ethics, but also the common wish of many medical workers in Guangdong to fight SARS.
Controlling the epidemic and finding the pathogen is another battle without smoke.
In order to control the epidemic situation, it is necessary to carry out epidemiological investigation. First, we should collect qualified test samples, including throat swab, sputum, serum and dead lung tissue. The collection time includes the acute stage, recovery stage or death case of the patient, and these stages are infectious, and the collector is at risk of infection at any time. Comrades from the Institute of Epidemiology, Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention did not flinch. As soon as they received the report, they rushed to investigate, process, sample and test in time. On the New Year's Eve of the Year of the Horse, Liang and Ke, who participated in the study, were informed that they would go to the morgue to sample the patient's body. They set off at once. Li just finished his two-month investigation in Zhanjiang, put down his luggage and set off again. He went back and forth to five of the seven cities with epidemics. Deng Feng, director of the center, and Lin and He Jianfeng, deputy directors, set an example and took part in the sampling work when there was a shortage of staff ... Through the investigation and handling of on-site cases and the statistical analysis of test specimens, the general situation, characteristics and influencing factors of SARS epidemic situation were gradually found out. The expert group in charge of the investigation timely drafted the report and investigation scheme of unexplained pneumonia cases in Guangdong Province, the guide to preventive measures for unexplained pneumonia in Guangdong Province and other relevant documents on prevention and treatment measures for atypical pneumonia. These documents were issued in time as "Technical Guidelines for Prevention and Control of SARS in Guangdong Province", which played a very important role in controlling the spread of SARS, and were adopted by the Ministry of Health of China and the Chinese Center for Disease Control.
At the same time, 465,438+0 professionals in the microbiology laboratory of the center, led by experts such as Huang, Wan and Jiang Limin, started from various aspects to carry out bacterial culture, virus isolation, serological detection, immunological detection and molecular biological detection. Through systematic and scientific experimental detection, several frightening infectious diseases such as pneumonic plague, pulmonary anthrax, leptospirosis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, avian influenza and legionnaires' disease were quickly ruled out. Recently, their research has made a breakthrough, and the gene fragment of coronavirus was found from the patient's mouthwash through gene amplification.
As of press time, the SARS epidemic in Guangdong Province has been effectively controlled, but the battle between medical staff and the disease continues. Chen, director of the ICU ward of Guangzhou Chest Hospital, said that he will definitely overcome the disease!
This is the determination and belief of Guangdong medical workers.
