September 22, "sea joint-2017" the second phase of the exercise officially began the sea phase, the reporter with the integrated supply ship Dongpinghu ship all the way through the Jomtani Channel, Osumi Channel, and finally returned to Qingdao port on October 3, the end of a continuous ten days at sea journey The reporter was on board the comprehensive supply ship Dongpinghu and crossed the Soga Strait and the Osumi Strait. Sailing in the center of the vast sea, the crew seasickness and nausea is a small matter, if suddenly sick and injured how to do? So, under the leadership of the military doctor, the reporter visited the comprehensive supply ship Dongpinghu ship on the medical area - a mobile hospital at sea.
The mission of the voyage oral treatment room is the busiest
Originally, I thought that, subject to the conditions, the medical equipment here should be relatively simple. The reporter visited and found that the ship's infirmary, operating room, oral treatment room, X-ray room, etc., all the reporter was surprised.
The infirmary is equivalent to the outpatient clinic of a land-based hospital, and is mainly used to diagnose and treat injuries and illnesses of the ship's crew. The reporter noted that the cabin is equipped with a full range of basic diagnostic and treatment equipment, such as electronic stethoscope, blood pressure meter, blood glucose meter, oxygen cylinders, cold single-hole lighting, diagnostic and treatment beds, electrocardiograph, first aid kit, reagent refrigerator, patient call alarm system, vision light box, and so on.
The busiest part of the voyage mission is the oral treatment room. Long-term navigation leads to the decline in the immunity of the crew, the ship's swing, rotating duty and other situations so that the crew eating, irregular life, wisdom teeth pericoronitis, dental caries, gingivitis and other types of oral problems subsequently appeared. Last year during the implementation of the Gulf of Aden convoy, 401 hospital stomatology director Jia Baojun *** diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases more than 100 people.
Dr. Shang, a military doctor, said that the Dongpinghu ship stomatological treatment room is equipped with advanced oral comprehensive treatment chairs, special reagent refrigerators, low and high speed hand turbines, teeth cleaning machine, light curing machine and other professional oral equipment, can be the vast majority of oral diseases treatment, so that the health of the crew of the ship to get the most effective protection.
The operating room is equipped with a remote medical consultation system
Then, Dr. Shang took the reporter to the operating room, which is equipped with anesthesia machines, cardiac monitors, defibrillators, ventilators and other professional medical equipment, and can carry out the majority of two, The operating room is equipped with anesthesia machines, cardiac monitors, defibrillators, ventilators and other professional medical equipment, and can carry out most of the second and third types of surgery, and in emergencies can carry out some of the first type of surgery, with the majority of the functions of the operating room of the land hospital. Surgical personnel enter the operating room after hand sanitization and other pre-operative preparations through the hand-washing and disinfection room.
It is worth mentioning that the ship's operating room can be used to conduct consultation and surgical guidance with the rear hospital through the telemedicine consultation system.
In a mission this year, an outsider due to the wind and waves and unfamiliar with ship life, inadvertently by the heavy watertight door extrusion to the finger, the right middle finger proximal interphalangeal joints skin breakage, the articular surface of the joints exposed serious deformity. The ship's military doctor urgently led the medical staff to clean up the wound, while the medical technician quickly went to the X-ray room to open the ray machine, ready to shoot the film. A clear X-ray image is shown on the display screen. Fortunately, no fracture line is seen in the front and side view, but the joint is obviously dislocated.
For the sake of insurance, the military doctor asked the command post to recommend applying for a remote medical consultation with hand surgery experts from the rear hospital. The command center quickly reported the situation, the image compressed package through the wireless timely sent to the rear hospital. In just 20 minutes, the hand surgery experts from the rear hospital have appeared on the display screen in the operating room, sound and image debugging all normal.
Under the real-time guidance of the experts, the wound examination, joint repositioning, debridement and suturing, all proceeded steadily. After the operation, the casualty was transferred to a double ward for treatment, and after several months of recovery, all functions on the finger were restored as before except for a tiny scar.
Isolation ward with independent sewer bathroom to eliminate the spread of the virus
"When it comes to the hospital everyone may think of wards, we also have here," Dr. Shang told reporters, "there are double wards, isolation wards, Intensive care ward. Double ward is usually we are mainly used for infusion treatment and physical therapy use, we have a professional hygienist, can carry out routine medical care, massage health care and other treatments".
Ship crews live on ships for a long time, drifting on the sea, back and leg pain is a common disease among ship crews, and it is difficult to relieve this chronic pain with western medical treatment. Therefore, massage, cupping and moxibustion are essential skills for shipboard hygienists. Combined with infrared polarized light therapy instrument, low and medium frequency physiotherapy instrument and other means of treatment, the ship's crew's back and leg pain has been largely relieved.
The ship has also set up a special isolation ward, mainly for isolation and observation of patients with infectious diseases and suspected cases, with air sterilizers, independent ventilation systems, independent air conditioning and independent underwater bathrooms to eliminate the spread of viruses.
Dr. Shang introduced to the reporter, said: "The crew of the collective living, working, living together, once someone infected with an infectious disease will be particularly easy to spread, a person with a cold lead to the same dormitory people are infected. We insist on doing a good job twice a week cabin disinfection at the same time, the suspected fever patients will be transferred to the isolation ward in time for treatment, effectively avoiding the spread of the epidemic."
For these shipmates, going to sea for more than 300 days a year is commonplace, and logistical support is key.
