The superiors also dispatched medical leaders to the hospital. Fortunately, it was during the winter vacation and students had gone home for the holidays. Otherwise, the situation would have been more serious. It was the Chinese New Year, and the streets and shopping malls that were supposed to be lively were deserted in an instant, and people were hunkering down. No more going out at home.
Other hospitals in the urban area did not have enough medical power to deal with this sudden influenza, and the sick people had no expectations of other small hospitals, so the patients were all concentrated in the city hospital.
A prevention and treatment team was established, with the leader in charge of health as the team leader, responsible for coordinating the support of various relevant units and cooperating with the hospital's work. Ouyang, the first deputy team leader, was in charge of the hospital's treatment work. The remaining team leaders are the heads of various departments such as the Health Bureau and Quarantine.
It is really difficult for the leading group to do its job at this moment. They should do their job well. If the epidemic cannot be controlled, the first people to be held accountable will be the members of these leading groups. The extraordinary response at an extraordinary moment has a wonderful effect.
Ouyang gave an order to close all general outpatient clinics and triage common diseases to other hospitals. Unless they are emergency cases, they will not be treated. Then, all doctors below the attending level will join the temporary epidemic prevention and treatment team.
The benefits of switching departments were immediately apparent. These rotating doctors did not need training or study, they could just start treating. The outpatient hall was filled with beds in order. Critical patients were admitted to the ICU, and those with weak constitutions and older patients were admitted. In the Department of Respiratory Medicine, young children go directly to pediatrics.
Mobilization rallies are a characteristic of China. Whenever something big happens, a mobilization rally will be held. This mobilization meeting was different from the past. All the leaders were seated in the venue, and only Ouyang stood on the stage.
"Comrades, the flu is here, the severe flu is here. The number of patients is huge and the condition is serious. It has reached the point where there is no need to wait. As comrades on the medical front, it is time for us to go up to the top. There is no withdrawal at this moment. Reasons, unless you are willing to give up this career! I think there will be no deserters among you here. From today on, all vacations will stop, unless you also lie down!" The tone is cold, there is no encouragement, there is no reason at this time Can be talked about.
This is the special nature of the medical industry. Ouyang is usually a very protective leader, and her character is already well known. Sometimes she is protective to the point of being unreasonable, because she is a doctor who worked at the grassroots level. , she knows that this industry is not easy.
And this moment is the moment when she has to raise the sword. Is there anyone who flinches? There must be, how can people not be afraid? There are many private clinics and hospitals that you can go to, but they are closed at such times. I'm taking a break at the head office, what can you do to me?
"The General Affairs Office has begun to issue equipment." Ouyang calmly looked at the doctors and nurses in the audience and said to the director of the General Affairs Office.
What is the equipment? They are masks, thick masks. Doctors who want to enter the ICU are given an extra pair of goggles. The usual disposable blue masks are replaced. All staff wear thick masks that can suffocate people and enter the ward. .
After Zhang Fan rested for a day, he was ignorantly assigned to the respiratory department. The respiratory department only admitted patients who were relatively serious but not yet qualified to be admitted to the ICU.
Bedside ventilators and monitors are all on standby, and each doctor has a bottle of hand disinfectant for disinfection at any time. The transfer doctors and resident doctors are all gathered together. The resident doctor manages five to six patients each, and the transfer doctor without a license Doctors work for other doctors.
Because Zhang Fan already has a practicing certificate, he must manage the bed alone. At this time, no matter whether you are related or not, whether you are physically unwell or not, you must become a benign factor in the medical collective, unless you also contract the flu and fall ill. .
Wang Yanan, Zhao Zipeng, Tong Lili, Lu Shuyan and other young doctors are front-line clinicians. The patients Zhang Fan manages are three elderly patients and two young people.
The high fever of influenza is very fierce, 39 degrees. At this temperature, adults will already wilt. If the continued development of the virus cannot be controlled, the symptoms will become more and more severe.
Harvest, the virus began to harvest the elderly and frail people. In one day, complications caused by the flu killed six patients. The body was like a domino, with one organ followed by multiple organs. Then he fell.
"Zhang Fan, your ninth bed is choking!" The nurse in the respiratory department called Zhang Fan loudly. There was a skinny old man in bed nine who came to the respiratory department every winter, and he didn't escape this time either.
Zhang Fan quickly ran to the nine-bed ward. At first glance, it was clear that there was a serious problem. The old man had a high fever due to the flu, and his throat was severely swollen. Coupled with the increase in phlegm, it actually blocked the respiratory tract.
"Quick, suction device." Zhang Fan said to the nurse standing next to him. Because the patient was depressed and struggling hard, he was unable to cooperate with sputum suction. "Don't struggle, open your mouth quickly, and we will suck out the sputum for you. Be obedient!" the little nurse shouted nervously.
But how could the patient cooperate at this time? He was twisting and turning around the bed, looking for a suitable position to breathe cheap air.
Looking at his increasingly purple face, Zhang Fan said, "No, prepare to incision, hurry up. Someone come and hold him down." The head nurse of the respiratory department also heard this and hurriedly came with several nurses. At this time, the doctors were busy giving out medical orders, and only the nurses came to help.
The patient's breathing was already very difficult and he was on the verge of suffocation. Zhang Fan was about to undergo a tracheotomy. The moment was so urgent that he had no time to sign and talk to his family members.
Zhang Fan said to the head nurse of the respiratory department while smoking lidocaine: "Let the other patients out first." Due to the invasion of influenza, there was not enough manpower, and there were only five patients in the room with only three beds, most of them. They are all old people with inflexible legs and legs.
The movement was slow, but Zhang Fan's nine-bed patients couldn't wait for them to leave, and they might suffocate to death if they delayed any longer. Zhang Fan couldn't care less. After several nurses held down the patient as hard as killing a pig, Zhang Fan quickly pinched the thyroid cartilage with his left hand and cut through the skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscles, directly reaching the trachea.
After feeling out the front wall of the device, I directly cut the tracheal ring with a knife, opened the trachea, and quickly inserted the cannula. Zhang Fan was extremely fast. This operation was performed very quickly. It only took more than thirty seconds at most, which was already very fast.
For the patient, this time was too long, like centuries. The suffocation, strong suffocation, and pressure from the nurse made him despair!
The old man's chest finally began to rise and fall again, and the nurse released the old man's limbs. The suffocating feeling of dying made the old man hold on to Zhang Fan's clothes and refused to let go. The feeling of extreme tension made the old man burst into tears. This was not crying, this was because he was scared! These are considered strong people. Generally speaking, for people who suffer from this kind of suffocating and dying feeling, not to mention tears, shit and urine are nothing.
What's the scariest feeling? It's this clear consciousness and the feeling of suffocation. It's so scary. Death is approaching step by step, but the consciousness is very clear. Anyone who has experienced this feeling will never forget it in his life.
"How about it?"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" A heavy breathing sound came from the cannula. The old man nodded and grabbed Zhang Fan's clothes like a child. His legs were bent and huddled together. He was really scared. At this time, He is extremely fragile. Because the airway was opened, the old man could not speak. Just when Zhang Fan was about to suture, an old man who had not left the bed next door fainted!
"Go and see, I'll sew it myself!" Zhang Fan hurriedly said to the nurse.
The nurses who had just let go turned around to help the fainted patient! "Go call the doctor, I can't take care of you!" Zhang Fan broke into sweat. One after another, the originally very steady hands began to tremble slightly!
Fainting is not easy for the elderly. They may faint and never be able to open their eyes again!
