"Our station news reported that on June 10, due to heavy rains for many days and local heavy rains, a huge mudslide disaster occurred in Pan County, Guangxi Province, causing flooding in the city. Many road sections in the county were affected, traffic was blocked, and three nearby villages and towns were seriously affected. , mostly buried.”
"The cadres and masses of the county acted quickly to organize rescue and disaster relief. The Southern Military Region dispatched thousands of soldiers and 3 transport helicopters to support many disaster areas and evacuate and transfer people in a timely manner."
"The rescue process was very successful. All the injured people were transferred to the county hospital in time. More than ten seriously injured people received temporary first aid on the plane. After treatment in the hospital, they were all out of crisis..."
Wei Kang turned on the TV, and a piece of emergency and disaster relief news happened to be playing. He couldn't help but stare at the scene of helicopter emergency rescue.
If he remembered correctly, half a month ago, the Southern Military Region ordered a batch of military medical all-in-one machines from Sanqing.
It seems that this batch of equipment has come into full play in mudslide disasters and rescued many seriously injured people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile with relief.
Suddenly, the phone buzzed on the sofa.
At first glance, it turned out to be Dean Yin.
Wei Kang turned down the sound of the TV and answered the phone: "Hello, Dean Yin, hello."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Wei, did you see the mudslide in Guangxi Province yesterday? Sanqing's first aid equipment played a great role in this disaster relief operation. Thanks to the first aid kit, all seriously injured people were With timely treatment, the injury did not worsen and he was rescued as soon as possible.”
Dean Yin's voice was filled with excitement: "I want to express my sincere gratitude to you. Thank you very much."
Wei Kang said quickly: "Don't say that. It should be true. Sanqing's equipment can play an important role in saving so many people in disasters. I am also very honored."
Dean Yin's voice became solemn: "The headquarters was very shocked after seeing the rescue report. At the same time, it also took the matter very seriously. You know, in the past, our helicopters mainly transported the wounded in large quantities. In addition to stretchers, there were only Equipped with a small amount of medical equipment, more complex en-route rescue is generally not carried out.”
"This time we equipped the transport aircraft with emergency medical equipment with the idea of trying it out. I never expected that the effect would be so outstanding. It would function as a professional rescue helicopter, and even more, because the rescue helicopter can carry only a limited number of people. There are only two or three people, but the transport helicopter can save more than a dozen people at one time."
"The effect of such a comparison is very obvious. Therefore, major headquarters held an emergency meeting and planned to equip all transport helicopters with first aid kits as soon as possible. In this way, if there is another danger, more injured people can be treated."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of worry in his words: "Especially in the past few months, summer is about to come. In previous years, disasters such as mudslides, floods, etc. will occur one after another during this time period. They are all very common. , have to guard against it.”
"We must arm ourselves as soon as possible and prepare for emergency rescue and disaster relief."
Wei Kang immediately agreed: "No problem, as many sets as you want, I will ask the supplier to supply them as soon as possible. This is a matter of life and death, and we must not neglect it."
"However," he suddenly remembered something: "Except for the monitor and color ultrasound machine, the other four devices have not yet obtained device registration certificates. I don't know if there will be any problems if they are sold in large quantities."
"Haha," Dean Yin suddenly smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. We will apply to the health authorities for emergency use during disaster relief due to major public health emergencies. This is in compliance with regulations and should be no problem."
Wei Kang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good."
In this way, the registration and approval problem is completely solved.
Moreover, according to regulations, the Food and Drug Administration can conditionally approve medical devices urgently needed for public health emergencies.
Even after the disaster, Sanqing's first aid equipment box can still obtain a registration certificate and be used in situations such as emergency rescue.
Of course, this is ancillary, but after being used for a period of time, it can be considered as meeting the requirements of clinical trials, which is enough to prove the safety and effectiveness of these medical devices.
At that time, you can submit the supporting documents, remove the additional conditions, and then officially put it on the market.
Therefore, although it may still take a year to fully obtain the registration certificate, it will not affect his sales in the meantime.
It's just that it can only be sold to the military or hospitals at first and used for emergency rescue.
It’s not a big problem, Wei Kang thought, and then he remembered the matter of civilianization and asked.
"Dean Yin, one more thing. When we signed the agreement, because it was customized by the military, there was a confidentiality clause."
"But recently some hospitals are also very interested in these devices, and they also want to use them for emergency rescue, so if they are used by civilians, do you have any opinions?"
Dean Yin was a little surprised at first: "Has a hospital taken a fancy to this all-in-one medical machine so quickly? It seems that they have had the idea a long time ago. It's true that heroes think alike."
He couldn't help laughing, and seemed to feel a little proud of his idea of being one step ahead.
"Don't worry, our confidentiality conditions only involve the research and development stage. Now that the Sanqing products have been produced and used by all major military regions, it doesn't matter whether they are kept secret or not."
Dean Yin replied cheerfully: "Actually, I'm ashamed to say that these devices are all the research results of Sanqing. We really didn't help much, that is, we just made a request, and then you took out the prototype. I still don't know how to do it." Didn’t react.”
"So I don't have any objections to the civilian use. Sanqing can sell it however it wants. Anyway, it is used to treat patients."
Wei Kang smiled slightly: "That's good."
The two chatted for a while and then ended the call.
Sure enough, orders from the next three major military regions flew in like snowflakes.
Even the central and western military regions followed suit and placed orders one after another.
Because summer is the most serious season of the year for natural disasters, warnings are the most frequent. In the past four years, there have been more than 110,000 summer warnings across the country, accounting for half of the annual warnings.
From June to August, the risk of natural disasters will increase significantly across the country, the most common of which are geological disasters such as heavy rains, high temperatures, typhoons, earthquakes, and mudslides.
In order to deal with these complex disasters, aviation medical rescue is the most effective way.
Unfortunately, domestic aviation medical rescue is almost all carried out by transport helicopters of the military and armed police, and sea area salvage and rescue flying teams of the transportation department. There are very few private forces such as enterprises involved.
Compared with foreign countries, this gap is quite large.
Not only are there a small number of rescue aircraft, the aviation rescue system is imperfect, and there is also a lack of professional aviation rescue teams.
Although helicopters in major military regions play a key role in rescue and disaster relief, they are not specialized in doing this kind of thing after all. Their experience and equipment are limited. It was not until this time that the configuration was strengthened at an epic level that they fully exerted their strength. .
They must work harder and make all preparations to deal with the high incidence of natural disasters.
The risk of floods is high in the central and western regions, there are many typhoon warnings in the eastern coastal areas, geological disasters may occur in many places in the south, and there are also forest fires and droughts in the north.
In short, in the past three months, the nerves of all departments across the country have been tense, fearing that any oversight would lead to heavy casualties.
****
Jiangsu Province, Ningshi People's Hospital.
Dean Zhang Aiping has been staring at his phone for half an hour.
"On the 10th, a severe flood occurred in De City, Hunan Province. Fortunately, helicopters were dispatched to evacuate dozens of injured and sick people. They received timely treatment on the plane and the crisis was quickly turned into safety."
"It is reported that this time the military helicopter is equipped with Sanqing's first aid equipment box, which is equipped with portable defibrillators, respirators, monitors, syringe pumps and other equipment, which can provide emergency treatment to the injured and sick in need on the aircraft. .”
"On the 15th, a mudslide occurred in Panzhi City, Sichuan Province. The military dispatched a helicopter to rescue the injured. The injured were treated with Sanqing first aid equipment on the plane, and there were no casualties."
…
Zhang Aiping couldn't help but frown after reading several disaster relief news.
However, he quickly discovered one thing keenly, that is, in these incidents, military helicopters were dispatched for emergency rescue.
But the strange thing is that according to news reports, these helicopters are just ordinary transport helicopters and have not been modified. They can only transport a large number of wounded people. Logically, they cannot provide pre-hospital treatment to patients on the plane.
"Sanqing's first aid equipment box? Portable medical equipment? It seems to be the reason."
After looking at it for a long time, he finally realized this.
An inexplicable idea suddenly came to him, giving him an urge to know more.
So, he immediately called Sanqing's customer service number and asked.
The customer service politely told him that this was a first-aid equipment box developed by Sanqingxin. It was equipped with six types of portable medical equipment and could be used for helicopter emergency medical rescue. This was the one used by the military.
He couldn't help but feel happy after receiving the confirmed news. What made him even more happy was that the device had been registered and the hospital could purchase it directly.
However, it can only be used on helicopters and ambulances for emergency rescue.
Zhang Aiping thought about it and realized that it must have just been developed and has not yet been approved, so it can only be sold conditionally.
But he didn't care. There was no shortage of these equipment in the hospital, and they would definitely be used for aviation emergency rescue.
Soon the call was transferred to the sales office of the equipment company, and a salesperson provided a quotation. The whole package was about 300,000 yuan. Except for the color ultrasound, only one was provided, and the number of other equipment could be customized.
Zhang Aiping was immediately overjoyed. The price was beyond his expectation and even felt a bit too cheap.
Generally speaking, if a helicopter worth tens of millions of dollars is to be modified for medical rescue, it needs to be equipped with a series of life support equipment. The full set of modifications will cost about 3 million, which is quite expensive.
Sanqing's first aid kit is only one-tenth of the price, but it can provide almost all functions. Except for stretchers, first aid kits, and oxygen bottles, which need to be prepared by yourself, it is a great deal.
300,000 yuan of medical equipment was considered a small piece of equipment. As the dean, he could make the decision, so he immediately made the decision to order a set.
The next step is to take the next step.
He quickly found the phone number of a well-known local general aviation company and dialed it.
General aviation is different from civil aviation. It refers to some companies that purchase aircraft to engage in commercial aviation activities. They are generally relatively small and mainly buy small aircraft or helicopters.
However, they operate a wide range of businesses, including operational flights for industry, agriculture, forestry, fishery and construction, as well as flight activities in medical and health, emergency and disaster relief, meteorological detection, ocean monitoring, scientific experiments, education and training, culture and sports, etc.
"Manager Li, this is a hospital. I would like to ask how much is the minimum price per hour for a long-term lease of a light helicopter of about 2 tons?"
Manager Li's answer was very smooth: "That's right. If it's a hospital, it needs to rent a helicopter and make corresponding modifications. The price will be a bit more expensive, about tens of thousands of yuan per hour, depending on the model... "
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Aiping: "We don't need to modify it, everything will continue as usual. You can rent it out for other business, as long as we ensure that there is an aircraft available when we need it."
Manager Li was stunned for a moment: "I'm afraid this won't work. Medical rescue must be equipped with corresponding medical equipment."
"No, we bring our own portable first aid equipment kit, so don't worry about it."
The other party said doubtfully: "In that case, the price will be the same as an ordinary commercial lease. I will send you a quotation soon."
Zhang Aiping said: "We are a long-term lease, so please be sure to give us the lowest price, and we are used for medical emergencies. You can also apply for a national rescue subsidy. Although it is only 600 yuan, it is not too little after one year." "
Manager Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem, these will be taken into consideration."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Aiping felt reassured.
He had done his homework a long time ago. As long as he did not modify professional medical equipment, the price of renting a helicopter was actually not that expensive.
Next, just wait and ask a few more companies to determine the final price.
Over the years, he has long wanted to start an aviation medical ambulance business, but the price has never been able to keep it down. No patients are willing to pay for it. If he relies on insurance alone, the business volume will not be large, so he has put it on hold for the time being.
This time I saw Sanqing taking out the special first aid equipment box on the helicopter, so I thought of giving it a try to see if the price could be reduced after removing the medical equipment and modifying it.
If the price can be reduced to four digits, then Air 120 can truly enter the homes of ordinary people, making it affordable for most people, and no longer just a patent for the rich.
Air medical rescue can minimize patient mortality and disease sequelae during emergency rescue and transfer, and has an irreplaceable role in land rescue.
According to medical statistics, 70% of seriously injured people will die within 30 minutes, and the best time for treatment is within 15 minutes of serious injury or illness.
If the injured receive effective treatment within 15 minutes, the survival rate can reach 80%.
If the location of a seriously injured person is beyond the reach of ground ambulances, only aviation medical ambulance can provide rescue to the patient within 15 minutes.
Even if the injured person is within ambulance reach, most ambulances cannot function as rescue helicopters.
One reason is the distance. The ambulance takes an hour to drive, but the helicopter arrives in ten minutes.
And even if the patient is already in the ambulance, first aid is still a very weak link.
Although 120 seems to be popular now, in fact 120 is just a high-end taxi, and the things it can do are very limited.
In other words, if you have difficulty breathing, you can take basic measures such as oxygen, intravenous drip or epinephrine, CPR, and fixation of the injured position.
If unfortunately you encounter an ordinary ambulance, and unfortunately your heart or breathing stops, in addition to praying for CPR and artificial respiration to save your life, you can go to the hospital emergency room for defibrillation and ventilator within three to five minutes.
Because some first aid equipment that ordinary people think they should have, such as defibrillators and ventilators, are not standard equipment for 120 ambulances and are only equipped for type B ambulances.
Moreover, urbanization is developing too fast and road traffic planning cannot keep up, resulting in extremely easy traffic jams. These reasons undoubtedly greatly restrict the inherently low efficiency of ambulances.
Therefore, at critical moments, helicopters can save lives and pull seriously injured patients back from the door of death.
Next, Zhang Aiping called several general aviation companies and obtained five or six quotations.
Opening the quotation and comparing it in detail, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
