On the first day of 2023, the Nephrology Department of Qinhuangdao Second Hospital received the first banner of the new year, which read: "Medical ethics are noble and medical skills are excellent, caring for patients is heart-warming." It was sent to Director Zhang Yu of the Nephrology Department and all the medical staff to express gratitude and respect.
Grandma Zhao, who is over 80 years old, lives in Haigang District, Qinhuangdao City. She has been undergoing dialysis treatment in the city for more than 4 years due to chronic kidney disease 5.
Recently the new coronavirus has spread rapidly, and Grandma Zhao was not immune. She developed symptoms such as poor eating and general fatigue more than 10 days ago, and was infected with the new coronavirus. She has not eaten for more than a week, and has continued to have a fever. Her mental state is getting worse, and her family is getting more and more anxious. Later, she heard others say that the dialysis treatment in the nephrology department of Qinhuangdao Second Hospital is very effective, so she came here accompanied by her children. I went to the Nephrology Department of Qinhuangdao Second Hospital for further examination, and the results were surprising. I found that both lungs were basically white - 90% white lungs, and the blood oxygen was as low as 80%. Grandma Zhao also had a slight dementia and was extremely uncooperative in breathing oxygen.
In this case, in order to achieve a good therapeutic effect for Grandma Zhao, Director Zhang Yu started a heart-attack strategy, coaxing and persuading Grandma Zhao like a child, asking her to lie prone and inhale oxygen, using hormones and anti-viral and anti-inflammatory treatment, and giving nutritional support. After a week, Grandma Zhao improved significantly. After two weeks of treatment, only 10% - 20% of the area of pneumonia of Grandma Zhao was absorbed. The family is extremely grateful. It was the Nephrology Department of the City No. 2 Hospital that saved the old man's life, and they sent a banner to express their gratitude. The children decided on the spot that they would undergo dialysis here. They rented a house nearby and planned to live there for a long time so that they could receive dialysis treatment for the elderly at City Second Hospital . (Song Yijing)
