Only by mutual understanding and cooperation can we carry out the anti-epidemic work faster and better ... Let's come on and beat the epidemic!
20021June 14, the Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou, the largest infectious disease hospital in South China, received the news that two medical workers were infected with COVID-19 and were diagnosed.
The Eighth Hospital of Guangzhou has adopted strict control measures, and all hospital employees are locked in centralized hotels. Organize all the original medical staff to carry out nucleic acid testing every day, and the test results are negative; Relevant environmental samples were collected from 8 hospitals in the city, and the results of nucleic acid detection were all negative.
373,668 samples of all staff in three streets around Guangzhou Eighth Hospital were negative. Guangzhou Jiahe Wanggang Community is adjacent to Jiahe Campus of Guangzhou Eighth Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University. Therefore, it is not surprising to conduct nucleic acid testing.
The Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou, affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, is a municipal hospital featuring the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and the comprehensive treatment of liver diseases, and it is the largest specialized hospital for infectious diseases in South China. The infectious diseases specialty of the hospital is a national key clinical specialty construction project and a key medical specialty in Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City.
Lei Chunliang, president of Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, said that as a designated hospital in novel coronavirus Province, it is doing its best to isolate patients and close contacts, so as to meet the needs of centralized treatment of novel coronavirus infected cases and avoid cross-infection. According to the principle of "concentrating patients, experts, resources and treatment", Jiahe Hospital of Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital only keeps fever clinic, and the rest medical services stop. The fever clinic of Dongfeng Hospital was closed, related medical resources were transferred to Jiahe Hospital, and other clinics were as usual. Jiahe hospital set up observation ward. On the basis of the original 200 beds, 600 beds in the comprehensive inpatient building were set aside for isolated observation of close contacts of confirmed cases. In addition, the 200 beds before the inpatient building 1 will all be used for suspected and confirmed patients. A * * * admission beds reached 800.
Official website, Guangzhou Municipal Health and Wellness Commission issued a circular saying that on the evening of June 1 1, the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University conducted routine COVID-19 nucleic acid test on medical staff and found two positive cases.
Infected person 1, female, pathological technician of the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University; Infected person 2, male, emergency physician of the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. After further examination and consultation by the expert group, it was diagnosed as a confirmed case and the condition is stable at present. Where 1 is light, and 1 is ordinary. Those who have close contact with the case have been intensively isolated from medical observation, and the nucleic acid test results are negative and there is no abnormality. At the same time, the hospital has controlled and disinfected the key places involved by patients.
According to the comprehensive analysis of virus gene sequencing, infection control management and epidemiological investigation, it is preliminarily considered that the accidental exposure of two medical staff is more likely to cause infection, and the specific reasons are under further investigation.
After the incident, the Eighth Hospital of Guangzhou conducted centralized medical isolation for the close contacts of the patients, and all the key places involved in the patients were controlled and disinfected. At present, all hospital staff live in closed hotels. Organize the original medical staff to carry out all-round nucleic acid detection every day.
As a designated hospital for treatment in COVID-19, Lei Chunliang, president of the hospital, said at the press conference of Guangzhou's resumption of epidemic prevention and control work that Guangzhou No.8 Hospital has the largest number of confirmed patients in COVID-19, the most complete types of COVID-19-related cases and the largest number of foreign patients in Guangdong. The first confirmed patient in Guangzhou, the first foreign patient in Guangdong Province and the oldest COVID-19 patient in Guangdong Province were all cured and discharged.
After this incident, in order to ensure the smooth progress of clinical treatment and maintain the order of hospital diagnosis and treatment, Guangzhou Health and Health System has transferred medical staff from relevant hospitals to the Eighth Hospital of the city. At present, eight hospitals in the city have set up joint prevention and control departments for hospital infection, strengthened training and supervision for hospital infection prevention and control, checked and blocked risk points, and fully implemented the hospital infection prevention and control system.
In this incident, although the specific causes of COVID-19 infection among medical staff are still under investigation, the news of "accidental exposure" notified by the government is still worrying, reminding everyone to pay more attention.
In fact, it is not the first case that COVID-19 was infected by "accidental contact". Previously, similar incidents occurred in Qingdao and Xi 'an. In June, 2020, a nurse in isolation ward/kloc-0 of Qingdao Third People's Hospital was diagnosed as COVID-19's patient, a common type. According to the investigation and judgment of the national, provincial and municipal joint expert group, the nurse was accidentally exposed due to personal operation in the isolated and closed ward, and no loopholes were found in the hospital system management. In March, 2002 1, the inspectors in the closed isolation ward of the Eighth Hospital of Xi 'an1were diagnosed as confirmed cases in COVID-19. According to the preliminary judgment of provincial and municipal expert groups, the case was accidentally exposed in a closed isolation ward, causing accidental infection.
It is very important to reduce the risk of accidental exposure and choose and use personal protective equipment correctly and reasonably. At work, once the personal protective equipment is abnormal, medical personnel should know how to deal with it urgently.
Maybe there is a newly diagnosed person nearby. All nucleic acids are available for safety reasons.
