After the "9.5" Luding earthquake in Sichuan Province, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture People's Hospital became the medical institution with the largest number of earthquake injuries in the prefecture. How was the treatment of the wounded after escaping from the ruins? On September 8, the reporter went to the hospital for a field visit.
At around 9 am, in the pediatric intensive care unit, Xiao Yaxin, who had just finished craniotomy surgery the day before, held the plush toy in her hands and lying quietly with her big eyes open. Xia Cheng, director of the pediatrics department of the hospital, gently covered her with a quilt and said with relief: "The child's operation was very successful, and his condition was very stable after waking up."
Xiao Yaxin is only over 1 year old, from Zadi Village, Moxi Town, Zhenzhong. The earthquake injured his head. CT shows a concave skull fracture of the left parietal bone with epidural hematoma ... The operation requires the ruptured parietal bone ruptured into three pieces, and then the position is completely reduced after splicing and repairing. The situation was critical. On September 7, under the remote guidance of Professor Xu Jianguo, Director of Neurosurgery at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Ganzi Prefecture People's Hospital and the third emergency medical rescue team of Sichuan University West China Hospital, Xiao Yaxin was saved after more than an hour!
Intensive Care Unit is an unaccompanied ward, and all tasks of caring for children are undertaken by medical staff. The reporter saw that there were a lot of diapers and other care products on the table at the end of the child’s bed. Xia Cheng told reporters that these are specially prepared for children by the hospital, and there are also infant and toys such as milk powder, as well as small toys to help children relieve tension and pleasure. The plush toy that Xiao Yaxin holds in her hand is one of them.
In another ward, a 2-month-old baby girl was still sleeping sweetly. She didn't know that she had just survived a life-and-death disaster. The baby girl comes from Wandong Village, Tuozhen, Deluding County. When the earthquake occurred, the child was unfortunately buried by the collapsed house and was taken out of the ruins by his parents with bare hands. The road was interrupted and rescue helicopters transported them out of the "island". "We have really experienced life and death." The child's father said that he didn't bring anything when he escaped. The temperature dropped sharply in the past two days, and the thick clothes on the couple were sent temporarily from the hospital. "The child has some intracranial hemorrhage, but it is not serious. You can recover slowly, so don't worry too much." Xia Cheng comforted them.
reporter then went to the general intensive care unit, where two seriously injured people lived. "Let's eat another egg?" The nurse was feeding one of the elderly wounded. The old man is 78 years old and his teeth are about to fall out. The earthquake caused lung contusions and multiple rib fractures. In order to facilitate the elderly to eat, the nurse carefully pinched the eggs into small pieces and fed them to him. "My child is not around, but fortunately you are there." The old man couldn't breathe well and whispered word by word.
As of 12:00 on September 8, the hospital has admitted a total of 90 wounded people. Except for several injured in the intensive care unit, most of them were minor or ordinary injuries, and they were arranged to receive treatment on the same floor. "After the patient is admitted to the hospital, we will fully evaluate it as soon as possible and quickly screen for fatal risk factors to ensure that every injured person is treated in a timely manner." said Lu Chengkang, director of the hospital's critical care medicine department.
"There are also pressure." said Shi Rui, secretary of the Party Committee of the Academy. After the earthquake, the hospital immediately sent two teams to the epicenter, , Moxi Town, and treated the wounded on the spot. In order to prevent road interruption and affect rescue, the two teams marched separately in two groups. "Fortunately, our reinforcements arrived very promptly." After the earthquake, West China Hospital of Sichuan University immediately sent an emergency medical rescue team to the hospital. Liangshan Prefecture Xichang Orthopedic Hospital also sent a support team of more than ten people to arrive quickly. "Everyone works closely and greatly relieves our pressure."
During the epidemic, how to coordinate strict pre-examination and triage and urgent first aid of the injured? "Life is the first priority, saving people is always the first priority." Wu Dan, deputy director of the hospital, told reporters that the hospital has opened a green channel for earthquake injured people. Even if the injured and their families are unable to produce a negative nucleic acid result for 24 hours, it will not affect the admission to the hospital. “We will arrange them in separate areas, and the rapid and general examinations will be carried out at the same time after admission."The general inspection is very accurate, but the result needs to be waited until the next day, and the quick inspection will receive the results within 2 hours.
