"The sound of the window hitting the towering rainy night." September Bincheng is undergoing the double baptism of the epidemic and heavy rain "Plum Blossoms". Our nursing staff at the Oncology Department of Jinzhou First People's Hospital are not afraid of double pressure, and calmly respond to the stormy waves and forge ahead. Due to the epidemic raging the closed management of various districts, patients in Jinzhou urban areas cannot go to hospitals outside the city, which has led to an exponential increase in the number of patients with PICC outpatient tumors in our hospital.

In order not only facilitate the treatment of outpatient patients, but also better protect inpatients, Nurse Yan communicated and coordinated with the medical department, nursing department, outpatient department and other departments to move the PICC clinic to the second floor of the outpatient clinic, so as to ensure regular maintenance of tumor catheter patients when the outpatient clinic is not open.

tumor patients take special medication, and most patients need central venous catheter (i.e., PICC or infusion port). If these vascular pathways cannot be maintained in time, they will have complications such as catheter blockage, puncture site infection, puncture vascular thrombosis, which will undoubtedly make it worse for tumor patients.

So every Tuesday and Friday morning, while completing the work of the department, the PICC team members will conduct detailed epidemiological investigation based on the patient's online appointment information and call for a detailed epidemiological investigation : If there is a history of epidemic involvement, guide the patient to go to the fever clinic for investigation to ensure that the patient can perform PICC or infusion port maintenance normally in the afternoon; if there is a patient in the blocked area, guide the patient to contact the community and go to the fever clinic for investigation by point-to-point. The team members will contact the head nurse in the fever ward to put on protective clothing and go to the fever ward to maintain the patient. Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, the group members will go to the outpatient clinic to conduct on-site investigation and then perform maintenance.

Every time they wear N95 masks and put on isolation clothes, they will sweat profusely. In the outpatient clinic, they carry out home maintenance knowledge education for PICC or infusion port during the epidemic and home guidance during the epidemic.

The feeling of exhaustion after each work is over still cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm for work. They know very well that the unblocked vascular pathway is the prerequisite for protecting blood vessels for tumor patients to complete the treatment course on schedule, and it can also be said to be the "life-saving tube" for tumor patients to maintain their lives. It starts with the original intention and achieves with perseverance. I hope that their hard work will bring about green mountains and green rainbows.

PICC outpatient

Tuesday and Friday from 1-3pm
