[Explanation] Mr. Gao, who is receiving treatment, is 85 years old. Due to new coronary pneumonia, he was sent to the Fourth Division of Infectious Diseases in Guanggu District of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital seven days ago for rescue.

I want to go back. I will arrange for you to be discharged in the past two days. Don't worry.

[Explanation] The Guanggu District of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital currently treats 462 elderly patients with new coronary pneumonia over 68 years old, including the oldest 100 years old. Some patients have inconvenient communication and suffer from basic diseases, which brings great challenges to medical care. Mr. Gao is older and has more basic diseases. The medical staff will sputum for him every two hours.

Sputum excretion is also a more dangerous thing, because the patient may have some droplets in the sputum or aerosol, but our nurse still insists on doing this because when the patient coughs on a sputum, he also feels that It's very, very comfortable.

[Explanation] In addition to sputum excretion, treatment of pressure ulcers for the elderly, dressing and changing urine for the elderly must be done jointly by medical staff. During the nursing process, medical staff also produced a doctor-patient communication card to facilitate communication with the elderly.

There are meals in it, I want to go to the bathroom, or I have to turn around. Such simple language, in the form of pictures, I think the effect is also very good. I added the WeChat of his (Mr. Gao) granddaughter. The photo of the old gentleman was sent to his granddaughter and the family gave him a video. His granddaughter and his son were both in tears and saw the situation of the old gentleman.

[Contemporary] Mr. Gao's granddaughter: Come on! Listen to the doctor there.

[Explanation] With the encouragement of his family and the careful treatment of medical staff, Mr. Gao's condition has gradually improved, and he is currently going through the relevant discharge procedures.

[Explanation] As life cannot be taken care of by himself, the 84-year-old Mr. Li Lao also brought a lot of difficulty to the work of medical staff.

It takes about forty minutes to feed the rice. If it ’s cold in the middle, you need to heat him in the microwave. After feeding the meal, the waist must not straighten up first, and then all the back is soaked. You have to drop down the back.

[Explanation] There is no shortage of 462 elderly people, which is the goal of every medical staff here. The moment the patients were discharged home, it was the happiest time for the medical staff.

[Contemporary] Zhang Qian, Director of the Fourth Division of Infection, Guanggu District, Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital

My mother-in-law is 83 years old, and the children ’s children feel the same way to their parents. Our goal is that all elderly people can be effectively treated and everyone can be discharged healthy.
