After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the prevention and control of the outbreak of the vulnerable groups has further affected the hearts of the people. Patients with uremia must have dialysis twice a week to maintain their lives. In addition, patients with annual dialysis make their resistance lower than ordinary people, and the dialysis room treatment area is a large space for full exposure, facing a severe epidemic prevention and control situation. What measures will the hospital hemodialysis room take to protect the "lifeline" of patients?
Be a health guardian for hemodialysis patients
In order to do a good job in the safety protection of hemodialysis patients, the Fourth Hospital of Nanchang, Jiangxi requires that all medical staff must learn relevant prevention and control knowledge, formulate emergency plans, and adjust and improve the work process. The medical staff of the hemodialysis room of the hospital, like all medical workers, knows what kind of burdens they are carrying on their shoulders, and sticks to their work positions for the health of each patient.
In order to protect the physical and mental health of the patients, the medical staff of the hemodialysis room of the hospital, Zhou Qinqin and Wan Li, voluntarily asked for help and applied to stay in the hospital during the special period of the current epidemic to deal with the work of the hemodialysis room. When the night was still quiet, Zhou Qinqin and Wan Li shed tears from the family members ’greetings and the child ’s crying, but they still needed to stick to their posts and be healthy guardians of hemodialysis patients.
At present, the work of the hemodialysis room of the Fourth Hospital of Nanchang City is busy and orderly. The medical staff will take the patient's temperature, health education, and instruct them to wear masks. After the patient leaves, immediately change the sheets, disinfect the machine, and open the window. Ventilation to provide a safe and comfortable treatment environment for every dialysis patient.

Tighten the hemodialysis string at all times
Free hemodialysis for poor uremia patients is a major health and livelihood project launched by Jiangxi Province.
Since May 2012, the first batch of designated township health centers in Jiangxi has begun to treat hemodialysis patients. One of them is Caolin Town Central Health Center, Suichuan County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi. The hospital radiates 14 remote mountainous areas and towns in Suichuan County. Whether the hemodialysis service is normal and the prevention and control measures are in place are always affecting the hearts of patients and their families.
"Before the outbreak, hemodialysis was performed in strict accordance with the operating specifications. Patients were boarded and logged off, and the water machine was regularly disinfected. The water quality was regularly checked. The hemodialysis machine was disinfected by one person, and the sheets were replaced by one person. The materials are single-use, and patients are regularly tested for blood to ensure safety and avoid various infections. "Yuan Wusheng, director of the Central Hospital of Cao Lin Town, Suichuan County, said that after the outbreak, these measures will be implemented more strictly and strengthened. While the hospital area and department are disinfected, the department's medical staff will carefully check whether all hemodialysis patients have returned from the infected area, whether there are family members who have returned from the affected area, and whether they have contact with other personnel who have returned from the affected area.
"Although it seems cumbersome, it can't be sloppy. It is responsible for the safety of the patient's life!" Yuan Wusheng said that there are currently five hemodialysis machines in the hospital, and the hospital is remodeled according to the layout requirements of the hemodialysis room.
Paramedics spinning like a clockwork top
The hemodialysis room is a typical "staff-intensive" place. The dialysis patients have low resistance and belong to the susceptible group.
On February 9, the hemodialysis room of the Second People's Hospital of Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi received an instruction to accept more than 50 hemodialysis patients referred from other hospitals, plus more than 200 fixed patients in the department, close to 300 Patients.
Facing the difficult task, the medical staff of the hemodialysis room of the hospital voluntarily requested to increase their own schedule. In the end, the hemodialysis room sent 9 medical staff to form the "clean angel team", and the hospital also sent 8 nurses from other departments to reinforce the hemodialysis room.
"Because they are referred patients, they have no knowledge of their medical history, so before starting treatment, we have to do a lot of filing, sensing and controlling epidemic prevention, which is several times the daily workload." Jingdezhen City Second The person in charge of the nursing department of the People's Hospital, Wang Yingchun, said that on the day of receiving the task, the nurses in the hemodialysis room were busy from 7:30 in the morning to midnight at night, and called one by one to inquire about the medical history and kill the hemodialysis room. The hemodialysis room's infectious disease prevention and control program will treat the original patient and the referred patient in batches to avoid cross infection. "After completing the screening of all referral dialysis patients, arrange on-board dialysis immediately."
"Patients need to go through special channels and special elevators for medical treatment. We disinfect these sites many times a day. The hemodialysis room regularly opens windows for ventilation." Zheng Zheng, the head of the hemodialysis room in the Second People's Hospital of Jingdezhen City said.
The workload brought by the new patients allows each medical department in the department to keep turning like a spinning top. "We set up a pre-examination staff to measure the temperature of each patient and family member who entered the hemodialysis room. We also asked the contact history one by one to find out if there was a history of fever, cough, or fatigue. If an abnormality is found after preliminary investigation, Only when there is no abnormality, can you enter the hemodialysis room. "Zheng Zheng said, in order to save the shortage of protective clothing, everyone can't drink and eat for six or seven hours to work to reduce staff turnover.
"These girls are not easy. From morning to night, it's too hard!" Said a patient with a history of ten years of hemodialysis. At the beginning, he was worried that the epidemic would affect his hemodialysis treatment, but he saw the hemodialysis room in the hospital. A series of prevention and control measures have been adopted to make him feel at ease this year. (Finish)
