Ye Guangchun, director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, conveyed the general secretary's instructions to the entire hospital medical staff that afternoon. He said that the General Secretary's words warmed our hearts and boosted our morale. Fighting against atypical pneumonia is a mission given to contemporary medical workers by history. Guangzhou's medical workers will surely live up to the expectations.
Jin Guohua, secretary of the Party committee of Guangzhou Chest Hospital, was repeatedly interrupted by warm applause when conveying the general secretary's speech to her colleagues in the hospital. early in the morning of April 15, she put on a protective suit and came to the quarantine ward to bring the general secretary's condolences to the medical staff hospitalized here and to strengthen their confidence in overcoming the disease. She excitedly said that the General Secretary's concern for medical staff makes us feel heavy responsibility.

We will further intensify our research and strengthen cooperation with scientific research institutions at home and abroad in the hope of finding the pathogen of atypical pneumonia as soon as possible. At the same time, we will carry out in-depth education and training so that measures such as surveillance and prevention can be implemented everywhere to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Looking back at the days and nights of the four-month fight against atypical pneumonia, health care workers have experienced an unprecedented test. In this battle of life and death, Guangzhou health care workers carried forward the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the injured, bravely fought against the disease and death, and composed a hymn of life with the kapok.
Emergency action on New Year's Eve, courageous response to the challenge
New Year's Eve of the Year of the Horse, just when the family reunion, immersed in the festive celebrations, an emergency notice from the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Health to designate the admission of patients with atypical pneumonia hospitals, breaking the many health care workers of the joy of the family.
In less than an hour after the emergency notice was issued, Ye Guangchun, president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, and Lai Yonghong and Lai Yimin, vice presidents, rushed back to the hospital. Immediately afterward, four patients with atypical pneumonia were transferred from other hospitals. Hospital leaders deployed overnight, quickly set up an isolation ward to treat patients with atypical pneumonia; vacated a single-room ward for rescuing critically ill patients with atypical pneumonia; the drug supply department urgently increased the stock of antiviral and rescue medicines by 2 million; the equipment department deployed 19 sets of ventilators and rescue equipment throughout the hospital; the general affairs department expedited the purchase of 12-layer masks, grass liu Xiang, epoxy acetic acid and other disinfecting items; the nursing department and the hospital infection team strengthened disinfection and isolation management; and the nursing department and the hospital infection team strengthened the disinfection and isolation management. The Nursing Department and the Hospital Infection Team strengthened disinfection and isolation management, and set up a buffer zone in the special ward; the Logistics Service Center activated the fire emergency smoke exhaust system, strengthened ventilation, configured nutritious meals, and sent them to the special ward.
The sudden onset of atypical pneumonia has made hospitals in Guangzhou face not only a technical test, but also a comprehensive examination of the quality of medical ethics. Almost all of the critically ill atypical pneumonia patients are co-infected with bacterial infections, and most of them also suffer from multi-organ failure. According to the literature, as long as the human body has more than four or five organ failure, the mortality rate is more than 90%. However, the medical staff held a belief: as long as there is 1% hope, we must do 100% effort to challenge the limit. Many hospitals asked the municipal health bureau: "Please send the most critical patients to us!" Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine even declared clearly, "No matter who the patient is, no matter whether they have money or not, they have to give the best and most timely treatment!"
Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and head of the Guangdong expert group, has been working tenaciously at the forefront since the discovery of the first case of atypical pneumonia patients, and once did not close his eyes for 72 hours in a row. With the concerted efforts of all participating medical workers, a breakthrough was soon found and a more effective treatment method was worked out. Two patients with double lung exudate foci diffuse, life-threatening patients, by the medical staff's full rescue, the fifth day successfully off the ventilator. The patients were treated with further symptomatic treatment at a later stage, and the lung radiographs were very clear and left no traces. One after another dying patient was saved back to life, and the healing recovery time is getting shorter and shorter.
Step on the second hand to work, love is more infectious than SARS
Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, is the most admitted patients with atypical pneumonia a hospital. Infection of a section of the ward of the most critically ill patients on the day up to 19 people, 11 ventilators in a row. The case information of one critically ill patient in one day is equivalent to the sum of one day in an ordinary ward. In the peak period of more than 10 days, doctors and nurses are all "stepping on the second hand to work", 8:00 a.m. every day to work until 1:00 at night. Nurse Hu Jiaxie, Zheng Shufang, head nurse Nong Fei, physician Shen Haiying due to fatigue, has fainted in the ward, woke up and put into the intense work.
The busiest day for the pharmacy department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (GDHTC) was the issuance of 15,250 boxes of antiviral oral solution and 19,400 packets of Panlangen punch, equivalent to nearly three months of dosage. The Chinese pharmacy completed the daily dispensing, overtime preparation of "anti-virus" formula 22,000 doses, the dose of this drug alone is equivalent to more than ten times the usual workload.
Li Yimin, deputy director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College and director of the ICU, was called by his colleagues "flying man", three or four places a day shuttle, at any time, as long as the phone call, pick up the bag and take a piece of bread on the road in a hurry. One day, he received more than 120 calls, the phone is broken, his voice is hoarse.
From February 1 to February 13, Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, Director of Infection Cai Weiping did not take a day off, did not sleep a restful night, to each ward for the patient physical examination, to participate in the first aid of the seriously ill, intubation suction kind of dry. He usually falls asleep, but during that time often insomnia. The company's website has been updated with the latest information about the company's website, including its website and its website, as well as its website and its website.
Fall down a batch of up, the front and back without complaint
The hard work is nothing for health care workers, the biggest threat is that they are easy to be infected with atypical pneumonia. Especially in the ICU ward, where critically ill patients are rescued, every patient can be a source of infection. At the initial stage, for every critical patient intubated, 2-3 medical staff fell down. in February, more than 20 medical staff of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (GDHTC) alone were infected and fell ill one after another. But they had no complaints. Those who fell ill apologized to their colleagues, saying, "I'm really sorry for making your workload increase and your responsibility heavier." The others, however, did not flinch, and none of them took leave to leave. When one person fell ill, another immediately stepped in. One after another, batch after batch. One after another, one batch after another, without complaint.
When the situation is getting more and more serious, the medical staff constantly fall sick at the critical moment, Zhang Dejiang, a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China and Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, Huang Huahua, Governor of Guangdong Province and the provincial party committee, the relevant leaders of the Department of Health to send the hospital a cordial sympathy, which encourages the morale of the front-line medical staff.
The young ICU doctor Xu Yuanda of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College did not take a day off for 3 months, and did not close his eyes for 48 hours to rescue the patient. 3 months, he only took 2 hours of leave in a hurry to arrange for his father, who had a heart attack, to be hospitalized for surgery. Later, he himself was infected and admitted to the ICU.On February 8, the Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou opened a new ward for the purpose of expanding the hospitalization, which required more than 20 medical staff. When word got out, there were more than 50 applicants.
On the morning of February 1, a critically ill patient was sent to the Third Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University. At the time, the patient was coughing frequently and violently, and lung X-rays showed that the shadow of inflammation had occupied most of the lung lobes, and he could die at any time. Endotracheal intubation of such a patient could easily be infected. However, none of the medical staff around Deng Zide, associate professor of Infectious Diseases, or the surrounding medical staff flinched until the patient's condition was stabilized, and then they took off their heavily contaminated clothes and hats. Zero distance contact with pathogens, Deng Zide also unfortunately got heavy pneumonia. In the hospital bed, he wrote a self-exhortation poem: "Save lives and break through dangerous passes, the hardship has been through the intention is not disabled; commitment to medical words do not regret, once for the disease more difficult to know; when I am still strong and healthy body, once again hanging pots among the people." In fact, this is not only Deng ZiDe save lives of medical ethics, but also many more medical workers in Guangdong in the fight against atypical pneumonia in the *** with the wish.
Control of the epidemic, find the pathogen, another battle without smoke
To control the epidemic, we have to carry out epidemiological investigations, first of all, we have to collect qualified samples for testing, including patient throat swabs, sputum, serums, cadaveric lung tissues, etc., the collection of time, including the patient's acute, recovery or death cases, and these stages are infectious, sampling at any time there is a risk of being infected. The sampler is at risk of infection at any time. Comrades from the Guangdong Epidemiology Research Institute of the CDC did not flinch, and rushed to investigate and handle the case, sampling and testing as soon as the report was received. On New Year's Eve of the Year of the Horse, Liang Wenjia and Ke Changwen, who were involved in the study, received a notice to go to the morgue to sample the patient's body. They immediately departed. Li Linghui just finished a two-month investigation in Zhanjiang, put down his luggage and set off. 7 cities with outbreaks, he went back and forth to 5. Deng Feng, Director of the Center, Lin Jinyan, Deputy Director of the Center, and He Jianfeng set an example by personally attending the sampling when there was not enough manpower....... Through the investigation and handling of cases on the spot, and the statistical analysis of specimens detected, the overview of the epidemic of atypical pneumonia, its characteristics, and the factors affecting it have gradually come to the forefront. The expert group in charge of the investigation promptly drafted relevant documents on preventive and control measures for atypical pneumonia, including the "Program for Reporting and Investigation of Unknown Pneumonia Cases in Guangdong Province" and the "Guidelines on Preventive Measures for Unknown Pneumonia in Guangdong Province". These documents were issued in a timely manner as technical guidelines for the prevention and control of atypical pneumonia in Guangdong Province, which played a very important role in controlling the spread of atypical pneumonia and were adopted by the Ministry of Health of China and the Chinese Center for Disease Control.
At the same time, 41 professionals of Microbiology Testing Institute of the Center, led by experts such as Huang Jicheng, Wan Excellence, Jiang Limin, etc., started from various aspects to carry out bacterial culture, virus isolation, serology testing, immunology testing, molecular biology testing and so on. Through systematic and scientific experimental testing, several panic-inducing infectious diseases such as pneumonic plague, pulmonary anthrax, leptospirosis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, avian influenza, and legionnaire's fever were quickly ruled out. Recently, another breakthrough in their research was achieved when they discovered a gene fragment of coronavirus by gene amplification from a patient's throat rinse.
At press time, the outbreak of atypical pneumonia in Guangdong province had been effectively controlled, but the battle between health care workers and the disease was still ongoing. Chen Hongguang, director of the ICU room at Guangzhou Chest Hospital, said the disease can definitely be overcome!
This is the determination of Guangdong's medical workers and their belief.
