Director of the ICU's War of the Epidemic: Weekly epidemic

(Fighting against New Crown Pneumonia) The ICU Director's Weekly Epidemic: I will feel the same when I am there

China News Network, Hangzhou, February 25 (Reporter Qian Chenfei) Li Libin is the director of the Department of Surgery and Critical Care Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College. On February 14, he assisted Wuhan as the ICU director of the Cancer Center of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital. As a veteran of the SARS epidemic who has been on the front line in the treatment of SARS, the 54-year-old is crying on the battlefield against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The following is a weekly diary written by him again after more than 30 years:

It is said that the man does not cry easily, but I always burst into tears.

It ’s been a week since I came to Han, and I was very busy a few days ago. I am not good at writing, and I rarely write things that record my mood. Nine days ago, we came with a heavy responsibility, and the system took over the ICU of Wuhan Union Medical Center. With the efforts of all parties, the work has gradually moved towards order and standardization. Today, when I am alone in a hotel room, I should write something when I want to come. It is also a weekly diary. The last weekly diary seems to be more than 30 years ago.

I remember at 11:30 pm on February 12, Zhang Xiu, the director of the medical department, called and noticed that he would rush to the hospital to attend the meeting. I told my family that the horn had sounded and the soldiers were about to charge.

I am a person whose feelings are not exposed. People who work in the ICU have long been used to life and death. It is said that men do not cry easily, but since this time, I have burst into tears.

I remember one night before going to Wuhan, on TV, when I saw the deep scars left on the face of a nurse, and saw the medical staff already tired and fell to the ground, I said that the man had tears No flick, although I'm over half a year old, I still can't help crying. That heartache and sadness is really beyond words.

This ICU in Wuhan Union Medical Center was originally an ordinary orthopaedic ward. Within one day, to complete the hardware renovation, set up a medical team, and treat the patients with severe and critically ill patients with new coronary pneumonia, the pressure of the medical team can be imagined. As the director of ICU, I feel the burden on my body is very heavy and heavy ...

On the afternoon of February 18th, the ward called and there were two critically ill patients who had been using non-invasive ventilation, but their condition was still worsening. I rushed to the hospital immediately and decided to intubate urgently and perform invasive mechanical ventilation. During tracheal intubation, the patient's airway is open, the operator is closest to the patient, and the risk of infection is high. Before that, I also stated to the captain and executive vice president Wang Weilin many times: "The first one to intubate me."

This is not rhetoric. To be honest, as a veteran who has been engaged in critical medicine for 25 years, I went to the front line of fighting SARS in 2003. I am not afraid, let alone the hospital has provided us the best protection . As a Ward Director, I must lead by example.

Back pain has been around for some time. Every time I come out of the ward, the pain is unbearable when I take off my protective clothing. That day, I took two painkillers before entering the ward. At 7 pm, I returned to the hotel and felt a little tired. At this time, Captain Wang Weilin called me and expressed his thanks and condolences. On the phone, I heard his choking voice and couldn't help tears. As many medical staff said, I am not a hero, but a soldier in a tabard. In this war without smoke, we have too many challenges and too many unknowns.

This is the battlefield, and you can only feel that way if you are there. My pale text is not enough to express. In the end, I borrowed a line from Du Fu's poems to end the weekly diary. I only wished that "Jianghan's spring breeze rose and the frost was removed last night." (Finish)
