I think it is very necessary. Not only to reduce the cost of epidemic prevention at the same time can also quickly respond to the epidemic.
First, let's talk about what a square-cabin hospital is. A square pod hospital is a mobile hospital that is easy to set up. It belongs to a kind of field mobile medical system, combined by a number of movable square cabin, with emergency admission, surgical disposal, clinical examination and other functions.
In fact, when there was no outbreak before, I didn't feel the importance of the pods, and most of them had a feeling that it was not a matter of concern to them if it didn't happen to them. But from the recent outbreak in Shanghai, the spread has been so violent and rapid. A large number of people have been infected, if you have the usual on the accumulation of good square cabin preparation, you can do not change to cope with all changes. Flexible and comfortable.
Take a close example. Shanghai. In order to quickly realize the "social side of zero", Shanghai has now built more than 100 square cabin hospitals, the number of beds more than 160,000, the hospital scale is huge, the number of admissions is large, and "into the cabin" and "out of the cabin The hospitals are huge, with a large number of admissions, and they are "in" and "out" fast.
Establishment of square pods around the world can ease the hospital capacity
Generally we are in an epidemic area are stationed in hospitals for the treatment of patients, but we also need to know that the capacity of hospitals is limited in the period of high incidence of epidemics, hospitals will be stretched to the limit, but if there is square pods is not the same ah. Patients can be transferred at any time to the release of the cabin treatment. Both can save social resources can also deal with the epidemic in a timely manner.
For example, mild and asymptomatic infected people do not need to take up too many medical resources, this part of the patient admitted to the hospital in the square cabin, can be very good to reduce the risk of hospital infection spread. If they go to the sentinel hospitals in large numbers, they will consume and use up the limited medical resources.
Take a look at the composition of the cabin hospital
Square cabin hospitals have decontamination compartments, storage compartments, drug compartments, sterilization compartments, test compartments, surgical compartments, first aid compartments, power station compartments and so on. There are first aid, surgery, inspection, X-ray and other modular systems and auxiliary equipment.
Each modular system can be used separately or seamlessly connected to form a large-scale mobile hospital. To realize not only can **** enjoy the equipment resources in the square cabin, but also facilitate the rapid and efficient disposal of the sick and wounded.
Wuhan square cabin hospital, for example, covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters of the pavilion, with the fence partitioned into eight areas, each area of about 120 beds, each care unit 30-50 beds. Outside the exhibition hall, there are 100 mobile toilets. Toilet discharges are collected in special containers and then centrally discharged after treatment. In terms of living water, the venue is equipped with specialized pipelines, filtering and other related treatment procedures, and the East and West Lake District Environmental Protection Bureau will only be discharged after testing to meet the standards.
Will there be a shortage of medical staff?
Tension in medical staff has always existed, but the patients at Square Pod Hospital are mostly mildly ill people who can take care of themselves, so it will not take up too much medical care, but rather basic nursing staff.
In conjunction with the current outbreak situation the new variant of the new coronavirus, XE, which has a growth rate/transmission rate 9.8% higher than BA.2. I won't go into the specialized knowledge, but the mutated virus should not be underestimated.
So the advantages of establishing square pods everywhere outweigh the disadvantages. And it's a smart move for the current character of the epidemic.
