Epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility. With the epidemic raging in novel coronavirus, the shortage of protective materials, medical resources and living materials has become the most prominent problem in the current epidemic prevention and control work.
For the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in novel coronavirus, the negative pressure ambulance with the function of "negative pressure isolation" played an important role in "fighting the epidemic" for ten minutes when transporting virus-infected people. However, as a "lifeline", negative pressure ambulance is one of the medical materials in short supply in the process of preventing the epidemic.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also issued a notice on the night of June 24, 65438 10, requiring some light bus manufacturers to speed up the production of negative pressure ambulances for this epidemic.
In order to fight the epidemic and respond to the government's call, many domestic car companies are working overtime to build negative-pressure ambulances, sending the first batch of negative-pressure ambulances to epidemic areas at the first time, and contributing to the construction of "life defense lines" for epidemic prevention throughout the country.
What is the "magic" of negative pressure ambulance?
As we all know, droplet transmission, aerosol transmission and contact transmission are important transmission routes in novel coronavirus. Therefore, this has also caused many limitations in the use of traditional (ordinary) ambulances, and negative pressure ambulances can play an effective role in isolation and prevention.
From the working principle of negative pressure ambulance, as the name implies, the biggest feature of this model is negative pressure. The so-called negative pressure means that the air pressure in the car is lower than the external atmospheric pressure by technical means, so that the air can only flow from the outside to the inside of the car when it is free to flow, and the negative pressure can also exhaust the air in the car after harmless treatment to avoid infection between people. At the same time, when treating and transporting special diseases such as infectious diseases, the probability of cross-infection of medical staff can be minimized.
Therefore, this model is also known as the "movable large N95 mask" to protect life. Its biggest difference from ordinary ambulances is that it can achieve "negative pressure isolation".
In addition, the negative pressure ambulance is also equipped with a full set of rescue equipment such as ventilator, defibrillator and ECG monitor, as well as a series of medical facilities such as ultraviolet disinfection lamp and central oxygen supply interface. It is an important medical transport tool for medical personnel in the process of transporting and treating patients.
In fact, the negative pressure ambulance that suddenly broke into the public's sight began after SARS, but it has not entered the medical system on a large scale because it is more expensive than ordinary ambulances. At the same time, the negative pressure ambulance is not a separate model, but an ordinary ambulance.
Therefore, after the outbreak of novel coronavirus epidemic, the shortage of negative pressure ambulances has become an urgent problem to be solved.
Many car companies have accelerated the production of negative pressure ambulances.
Due to the importance and shortage of negative pressure ambulances for this epidemic, many domestic car companies, such as Jiangling Ford, SAIC Chase, Chery Jianghe, Brilliance Group, Futian Tuyano, Fujian Benz, Yutong Automobile, etc., have also responded quickly, working overtime to catch negative pressure ambulances and fighting in the front line of fighting the epidemic.
Jiangling Ford
On the morning of February 4th, some confirmed patients in the designated hospital in Wuhan, Hubei Province were transferred to Huoshenshan Hospital for treatment by Ford Transit Negative Pressure Ambulance, which was the first batch of patients admitted to Huoshenshan Hospital.
Up to now, the 18 Ford Transit Negative Pressure Ambulance, which jiangling motors has stepped up its production, has all been delivered to Wuhan for use. Among them, 10 Ford Transit Negative Pressure Ambulance will be donated to Wuhan free of charge to contribute to epidemic prevention and control in key epidemic areas. It is worth mentioning that Jiangling Ford is also the first domestic enterprise to deliver negative pressure ambulances to Wuhan.
Saic Datong
On February 5th, the day of completion of Wuhan Thunder God Mountain hospital, 30 SAIC Datong negative-pressure ambulances arrived at the scene for standby. At the same time, another 25 vehicles are undergoing final installation and commissioning at SAIC Datong Wuxi factory, and arrived in Wuhan on February 6.
65438+ (New Year's Eve) On June 24th, after receiving the production task of negative pressure ambulance, SAIC Chase started the production planning, key equipment and materials pulling, employee recall and other specific work on the same day, and actively welcomed the arduous production task. In order to complete the task, SAIC Chase reduced the original production cycle of negative pressure ambulance from 1 month to 10 day.
Chery Ruifu
On February 5th, Chery Automobile completed the delivery of the first batch of 20 negative pressure ambulances. Chery said that the negative pressure ambulance of Chery River has the function of "triple protection".
Earlier, Chery Holding Group announced on February 3 that during the Spring Festival, Chery Ruifu Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Chery Holding Group, took the initiative to apply to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for the production of 20 negative-pressure ambulances to support the epidemic areas. On the second day of the lunar new year, the production task was officially started. At present, all deliveries have been completed. It is reported that 20 negative-pressure ambulances in Chery River mainly undertake the task of transporting and monitoring patients after entering the epidemic prevention front line.
Brilliance group
On February 6th, the first batch of 15 negative pressure ambulances of Brilliance Group left the production workshop in Brilliance, Renault, and three of them were sent to the front line of epidemic prevention in Xinjiang according to the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. On the same day, Brilliance Group's Shenbei Special Vehicle Production Base donated an ambulance 10 worth more than 2 million yuan to the provincial novel coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters to support the front line of epidemic prevention.
65438+1On October 24th, Brilliance Group received the task of producing 30 negative-pressure ambulances from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and immediately started the intense work around the clock. According to the plan, by February 20, Brilliance Group will complete the production task of 30 negative-pressure ambulances urgently needed in the front line of epidemic prevention.
Fukuda Tuyano
After receiving an urgent order from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Fukuda Tuyano spent 10 days making a negative pressure ambulance and went to Thunder God Mountain hospital on the morning of February 6th. According to the plan, 50 negative-pressure ambulances will be delivered one after another before February 65, 438+05, and put into the front line of epidemic prevention and control in hospitals such as Vulcan Mountain and Raytheon Mountain.
In order to transport the negative pressure ambulance to the epidemic area as soon as possible, Fukuda Tuyano asked all negative pressure ambulance production workshops to arrive at their posts from the beginning of this year, working overtime day and night to quickly complete the delivery and shipment of products. In addition, during the construction of Raytheon Mountain and Huoshenshan Hospital, products such as construction machinery vehicles and engineering vehicles owned by Foton Motor were also used.
Fujian benz
65438+1Late at night on October 26th, 20 Weiting vehicles were sent out of the warehouse and sent to Beijing and Zhejiang overnight under the linkage of Fujian Benz. These vehicles will be used to produce negative pressure ambulances.
The epidemic is the order. 65438125, Fujian Mercedes-Benz refitting factory received the notice of "Material Support Group of National Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for Pneumonia Infection in novel coronavirus", and continued to produce a batch of negative-pressure ambulances to reinforce Wuhan's front line against novel coronavirus. Immediately, the refitting factory organized relevant personnel to return to work, and is currently working overtime to produce negative pressure ambulances.
Yutong automobile
It is understood that on June 25, 65438 Ministry of Industry and Information Technology sent a letter to Yutong Bus and Henan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology on the production task of negative pressure ambulances, requesting Yutong Bus to produce 55 negative pressure ambulances, and Henan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology was responsible for coordinating and solving possible problems such as production, transportation and working capital. 65438+1On October 26th, Yutong bus production line started operation. On February 5th, the first batch of 10 negative-pressure ambulances was delivered, and the rest vehicles were working overtime.
However, due to the extraordinary period of epidemic prevention and control, many upstream manufacturers can't resume work in advance, and the logistics can't be guaranteed, which will also lead to the decline of the production efficiency of Yutong negative pressure ambulance.
"We have sent more than 20 purchasing personnel to the market to urge the parts to arrive as soon as possible." The relevant person in charge of Yutong Bus said that the negative pressure isolation cabin installed inside the ambulance is the most scarce, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also coordinating relevant manufacturers nationwide. With the joint efforts of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and * * * * Company, the first batch of 10 vehicles were sent from Tianjin manufacturers to Zhengzhou and arrived in Wuhan on the evening of February 5.
