Recently, the number of
respiratory infections has grown rapidly,
many of whom have underlying and chronic diseases.
Dezhou Hospital of Shandong University Qilu Hospital
As the only tertiary-level general hospital in of Dezhou City,
the emergency department has been responsible for the treatment of critical and severe patients in the city and surrounding areas.
Overloaded and surged workload in a short period of time,
In addition, more and more medical staff have been infected,
The pressure on the emergency department has doubled and it is difficult to operate...
Despite this,
h All medical workers in the tml3 emergency department have always focused on protecting people's health and adhered to the principle of "do not refuse diagnosis and do not shrink back". Su Chunhua, executive director of the
emergency department, said that as the number of people with respiratory tract infections increases in society, the emergency department is facing huge medical pressure. The demand for 120 emergency services is increasing day by day, including more than 40 emergency ambulance trips from our hospital and nearly 30 transfers from other hospitals. "Reception-disinfection-re-reception" operates efficiently and non-stop. The emergency department receives more than 400 patients a day, and the rescue area, observation area, buffer area, and emergency ward are overcrowded. Most of them have symptoms of respiratory tract infection, including high fever, vomiting, and even convulsions. Medical staff work day and night and fight selflessly. On the one hand, every second counts, and patients with severe symptoms are given symptomatic treatment such as oxygen inhalation and antipyretic treatment as soon as possible. On the other hand, we actively coordinate with the hospital to prioritize and maximize the admission of critically ill patients.
At the same time, as the number of infections among medical staff increased, the medical force continued to weaken. In order to ensure the smooth development of emergency first aid work, the department head adjusted the shift to "white night". However, due to the surge in the number of patients and the concentration of patients, medical treatment was still faced with the dilemma of being stretched. Most medical staff came to work while sick. Some had fevers as high as 40 degrees and were in pain all over their bodies. However, they still rushed to the front and rushed to the battlefield to save lives.
Scientific planning, racing against time to protect health
Faced with the dilemma of “too many patients, serious conditions, and lack of medical staff” in the emergency department, hospital leaders made precise judgments and made scientific deployments , shift the focus to the emergency department, increase the supply of medical resources, select and support medical staff with strong professional capabilities, simultaneously promote the expansion of the respiratory ward, vigorously ensure the medical diagnosis and treatment needs of infected patients, concentrate on decompressing and relaxing the emergency department's efficient diagnosis and treatment work, and ensure that the emergency department work and treatment procedures are scientific and orderly.
The Medical Department has set up a team to work on-site in the emergency department, turning passivity into initiative, and understanding in real time whether there are serious conditions or difficult admissions, etc., and strives to "immediately solve the problems that can be solved on the spot, and come up with solutions for those that cannot be solved on the spot", try their best to smoothen the placement of stranded patients, and ensure that the majority of patients receive timely and effective treatment to the maximum extent.
Overcome difficulties and show responsibility in critical situations
Faced with new situations, new tasks and new challenges, emergency department medical staff work together, go all out, and work side by side to improve the staffing plan at the right time and for the right situation. The department director and head nurse set an example and gave full play to their role as role models. They stayed on the clinical frontline despite symptoms of high fever and fatigue, ensuring that every patient who came to the hospital received timely and effective treatment.
The family members of medical staff were also infected one after another and needed care. Faced with a dilemma, they resolutely chose to stick to their posts, overcome difficulties, and perform their duties. They deserve praise from each of us! "Although everyone is feeling unwell and having difficulties at home, since we have chosen the emergency department, we must carry this flag resolutely!" Su Chunhua said. At the same time, she reminded the general public to be more vigilant and strengthen personal protection to avoid concentrated infections.Concentrated medical treatment can easily increase the possibility of cross-infection. Therefore, if patients are not seriously unwell and do not have underlying chronic diseases, they can choose to take medication for observation at home, leaving precious medical resources for critical and critical patients in need of first aid.
In the three-year battle against the epidemic, the emergency department has always been at the forefront, fighting at the forefront of the city's hospitals. They sacrificed their small family for everyone and gathered their small love into a big love. They interpreted "the sincerity of great doctors and the benevolence of doctors" with practical actions, and promoted the professional spirit of "respecting lives, saving lives and healing the wounded, being willing to contribute, and boundless love". Now, this protracted battle has not stopped, but has entered the decisive period with the fiercest artillery fire. We firmly believe that when the epidemic is over, spring will come. In this magnificent picture painted by the whole people, all the medical staff in the emergency department must have a significant contribution!
