This is the battlefield to fight the "god of death". It is the department that faces the most outstanding situations and is also considered the place closest to death - emergency department .

Recently, in the face of the surge in emergency patients, strained medical staff, and increased risk of infection, the medical staff in the emergency department of Zouping Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine have been proactive, worked overtime, and strictly abided by prevention and control requirements to protect themselves. They not only go to normal treatment according to the 120 dispatch order, but also arrange vehicles to safely deliver patients in need to their homes after treatment, and do their best to meet the medical needs of patients.

In addition to the normal treatment of patients with stable vital signs, medical staff must complete a series of methodical rescue operations such as chest compressions, tracheal intubation, and deep venous puncture placement for endangered patients every day, including respiratory failure, heart failure , upper gastrointestinal bleeding , asthma , myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage Cerebral infarction, Aortic dissection, Ketoacidosis and other critical diseases are relatively common in the emergency department. In critical cases, they can be life-threatening. It is very important to ensure life safety and timely treatment. In extraordinary times, in order to win this sudden "tough battle", the emergency department staff of Zouping Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital took up the responsibility and tried their best to stay on the front line of saving people and treating diseases.

What impressed me most was the night shift on the 22nd. Along with the urgent calls for help from his family members, an 83-year-old elderly patient with acute left heart failure caused by COVID-19 infection came in. The patient was in critical condition, with pink frothy sputum, profuse sweating, wheezing, and severe symptoms. On the verge of death, after ECG monitoring, the body temperature was 39.2°C, the heart rate was 194 beats/min, the blood pressure was 186/118mmHg, and the blood oxygen 76%. The data showed that the condition was urgent and critical. After seeing the situation, everyone immediately started non-invasive ventilator oxygen inhalation, sputum suction, ECG monitoring, deep vein catheterization... Everyone used responsibility and responsibility to protect this patient. Every few minutes, nurse Fang Rou went to suction the sputum. Slowly, the pink foamy sputum decreased and the patient's breathing became much more stable. Director Lu stood beside the patient's bed and was able to adjust the pumping speed of the micro-pump medicine in time according to the changes in the patient's vital signs. In fact, at this time, the protection of the medical staff was the most powerful "reassurance pill" for the family members! Unknowingly, it was dawn, and the patient had turned the corner and was breathing steadily. This is just the tip of the iceberg in the work of the emergency department. The struggle with death is staged every day!

On the night shift, the oldest director in the department, Lu Haibin, also found out that he was infected. After being infected with the new coronavirus, he was still fighting on the front line of the emergency department with his body that had not yet recovered. When the staff in the department were nervous, Director Lu gave up resting at home and still persisted despite being sick, especially the night shift. He worked at high speed for 14 hours from the moment he got to work until his voice became hoarse. The young doctors saw it and felt pain in their hearts. He is a role model for everyone. Director Lu's family is a people's teacher. While giving good online classes to the children at home, they make dumplings and soup for everyone every now and then, so that the medical staff on the front line of the emergency department can have a hot meal and provide strong nutritional support during their busy schedule!

Under the epidemic, all the staff of the emergency department went all out to stand firm and fulfilled their mission of guarding the frontline with practical actions. Build a solid frontline of 120 and safeguard people's health! Go all out to overcome the difficulties together!
