Post-90s "intubation pioneer" Li Hui:

Bringing hope to patients is my value

In the Guanggu District of Hubei Province Maternal and Child Health Hospital, there is a special "intubation vanguard". Li Hui, an anesthesiologist from the Stomatological Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University, was the second batch of members of the military to support the Wuhan Medical Team. Since her expedition from Xi'an on February 17th, she has been fighting for nine months in the Department of Infectious Diseases in Guanggu Hospital.

Li Hui is the youngest doctor in Optics Valley and the only post-90s in the "Intubation Pioneers". Every day, she and her teammates face the respiratory tract of patients with new coronary pneumonia directly, get close contact with the virus, and try to pull the critically ill patients back from the death line.

On the morning of March 19th, Li Hui, who had just returned from the night shift to the dormitory, was still replying to the WeChat group news--30 patients who had been admitted to the hospital for nearly 1 month had a history of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, cerebral infarction, and infection. The condition after the new coronary pneumonia is even worse: a large amount of pleural effusion on both sides, a cardiac ejection fraction as low as 23%, and blood oxygen saturation continued to be very critical.

During the special period, we couldn't focus on the staff discussion. Everyone in the work group had already seen each other. Finally, they decided to "intubate, and get together!" After receiving the instructions, Li Hui rushed to the hospital. For 30-bed patients, Li Hui is well aware: 80 years old, long-term paralysis leads to twisted trunk, cervical spine, systemic joint contracture and stiffness, and intubation is very difficult.

Putting on heavy protective clothing and wearing a positive pressure head cover, Li Hui, who was soaked, held her breath, and found the right time to focus on the operation. Finally, the catheter was successfully inserted into the patient's airway. Looking at the changing data on the monitor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally stabilized!"

In more than a month in Wuhan, Li Hui experienced various complex conditions: renal failure, pancreatitis, heart failure, cerebral infarction, pulmonary embolism, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease ... plus New coronary pneumonia makes these patients' fate even more dangerous.

A lung cancer patient who impressed her has endured long-term suffering. As an anesthesiologist, Li Hui uses a multimodal pain solution to minimize side effects. Eventually, the patient's neocoronary pneumonia was cured and transferred to hospital for maintenance treatment of the underlying disease.

Due to the special nature of the infected area, ward rounds, information feedback, and decision-making need to be completed independently. Li Hui was also a little embarrassed at first. Gradually, she won the trust of patients and also won the unanimous affirmation of the medical team.

Li Hui received 3 thank-you letters handwritten by the patients. One of them was written on the pill box, which moved her deeply: "You are saviors and bring us a second life. Conditions are limited, this letter was not written well, and I must write a thank you letter when I leave the hospital." This The "simplicity" thank-you letter made Li Hui feel "more precious than gold."

"In a very unusual period, many patients have been isolated and treated for many times. This makes them generally feel wandering and psychological anxiety. Comforting has become a must for medical staff." Li Hui often comforted the two-bed uncle, "Relax Your mood can improve your immunity. Rest assured, we have formulated a complete treatment plan for you. Let us fight the virus together! "After a period of time, the uncle's condition improved, and his determination to overcome the disease was strengthened.

"Not coquettish, diligent, and courageous" is the evaluation of Li Hui by colleagues. Li Hui said, "Young people should look like young people!" In May 2008, Wenchuan was shaken. Li Hui, who was about to enter the college entrance examination, agreed with her classmates that after graduation, they must be volunteers and support the construction of the motherland.

After graduating from her undergraduate program, Li Hui signed up for the "National Plan for College Students in the West" and went to work in Xinjiang's primary hospitals. Difficult conditions tempered her will, and after the end of the service in Xinjiang, she was recommended to waive the postgraduate emergency major. In 2017, she entered the dental hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University.

When the New Crown epidemic struck, it was learned that the hospital would set up a medical team to go to Wuhan, and Li Hui repeatedly invited her to the front line. Faced with everyone's concerns, her "guarantee" is firm and warm: "The house I live in is better than my small leaked bungalow in Xinjiang. The work intensity should be comparable to the original emergency department. No problem!" Heavy duty, "This protective suit gives me a sacred mission, and wearing it can bring hope to patients, which is the value of my existence." Li Hui said.
