In the newly renovated intensive care unit, the director held a mobile phone and shouted, "I want protective clothing! I want a mask!! I want disinfectant!!!"
"The hospital is doing its best..." the voice across the phone has no vitality, as if silently telling the director of the ICU that no matter how loud he cries, he can''t squeeze out even a protective suit.
"Dean, we have 16 patients and the beds are full. You know the situation inside. If you don''t pay attention, we will lose a large number of staff!! this is human life!!"
"There are no doctors. What''s the use of going to the hospital! There are no doctors. What about the patients here? Do you want to see them!!"
The director has almost frantically questioned the Dean, and the sudden arrival of countless patients has almost collapsed the severe pressure.
"The yard is doing its best..." the old saying that I don''t know how many times answered him.
Director ICU usually has a good temper and is used to life and death, so he is open-minded. But this time it was different. The disease was threatening. Yesterday, the ICU was transformed overnight according to the standard of s virus treatment in 2003. It was just opened and the hospital bed was directly filled.
At this time, there were countless people looking for him to be hospitalized, and the phone was about to explode.
No doctors, no nurses, no beds, no supplies
Play out
Grain shortage
He also knew that the protective clothing, masks, hats and disinfectant in the hospital had been taken out. But it''s still not enough. When that material is thrown into the clinic, it will be consumed in the blink of an eye.
But if you don''t find the Dean, who else can you find?
The director of ICU knows that he may not be able to see the sun tomorrow. At this time, you don''t have to be polite to the dean. Go to his house without giving protective clothing!
It''s just angry words.
Reluctantly dropped the phone, and the director of ICU asked, "how many protective clothes are there?"
"Director, according to the regulations, we can hold on for 8 hours... And we are not full," said the head nurse dejectedly.
"Inform the people who come to work, 12 hour shift."
"Director..."
According to regulations, protective clothing, masks, hats and goggles shall be replaced every 4 hours.
12 hour shift, what does it mean? The head nurse knows too well.
When wearing protective clothing, you can''t eat, drink water or go to the toilet. Doctors and nurses wearing glasses are particularly troublesome. Goggles will collect water vapor. Not to mention, if we catch up with female doctors and nurses to take their holidays
"There are no more materials," said the director of ICU, looking down. "Try to delay the time. The hospital is also urging."
The hospital is also urging that the tone of this perfunctory speech should not be too obvious. But they all know that the hospital has really tried its best, and it is a fact that the materials have run out.
Chinese new year, holiday, factory shutdown, no one expected that the inventory would be used so fast!
Generally speaking, protective clothing can''t be worn once a year. Even medical staff don''t see protective clothing many times. Some young people haven''t seen it at all.
This has just begun, and the inventory of protective clothing, hats, masks and other materials has been consumed.
How about another day of support?
The head nurse looked at the director in a daze.
Then she habitually glanced at the ICU ward. The harsh alarm would certainly cause a large amount of adrenaline secretion. The medical staff rushed to the bed to start emergency first aid.
however
Now?
The patient''s monitor and ventilator on almost every hospital bed are calling the police.
For two days, all the previous treatment experience is useless for this sudden disease. No matter how treated, the patient''s condition is difficult to improve. Those drugs seemed to be useless, and the blood oxygen value on the monitor fell down.
The patients in ICU are still the most important patients. In the head nurse''s opinion, it is lucky that one or two patients in this room can go out alive.
How about one or two more days? Will things change in a day or two?
impossible.
The older the clinician, the more he knows the seriousness of the situation.
There is no clear treatment plan. When patients are pushed forward, the blood oxygen is only 60-80, higher than 80% of patients... No.
The previous lower limit has become the current upper limit.
and,
run out of ammunition and food supplies
I can''t see a little hope.
Tomorrow, what about tomorrow?
No one can answer this question.
"Sudden respiratory arrest!" a nurse''s voice came out through the mask. It was stuffy and not crisp at all.
Several medical staff rushed up quickly for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Everyone knows that cardiopulmonary resuscitation is useless. Press your hand on the patient''s chest and press it down with force. The first feeling is different from normal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Like pressing a water bag, you can vaguely hear the sound of shaking in your chest.
Large area pneumonia, a lot of fluid exuding from the chest.
Especially at the last minute, the water suddenly came out, blocking the trachea and bronchus, the sputum suction tube could not suck it out, and the closed thoracic drainage did not work at all.
After 15 minutes, the heart rate is a straight line during the interval of pressing on ECG monitoring.
"Give up." the director of ICU shook his head and said, "have the family members signed the notice to pick up the patient?"
"Yes."
In extraordinary times, we are still facing infectious diseases with unknown intensity. All dead people are directly cremated in the funeral home. There is no chance for the family to see the patient for the last time.
There will never be any medical disputes at this time, but the ICU director''s nose is very sour. He would rather go back to a few days ago when a patient died unexpectedly and explain what happened to his family.
Now in retrospect, it was the world at that time, and I had fallen into hell.
Hell
There are eighteen floors
"Inform the next patient to come in," said the ICU director in a deep voice.
A nurse made the final body care for the dead patient. The head nurse picked up the phone, "Hello, Zhao Dexin''s family? There''s a free bed in ICU. Hurry up..."
Then someone said something on the other side of the phone, and the head nurse was silent.
"What''s the matter?"
"The first patient has died." the head nurse scratched a line on the record book with a ball pen, slid his finger down and landed on the name of the second registered person.
When she picked up the phone, she didn''t dial the number at the first time, but lay on the record book and cried bitterly.
"You." the director of ICU pointed to a nurse nearby, "send the head nurse to calm down."
Facing the current situation, the director of ICU understands the head nurse.
No hope, no tomorrow, a large number of patients suddenly poured in within a week, and the whole medical system collapsed after only resisting for a short time.
He has never encountered a similar situation.
Don''t say encounter, even if you can dream, you won''t dream.
Once upon a time, a few short lines of words written in the historical records appeared in front of us - Gengyin in October, locusts came from the east to cover the sky. The world epidemic
