[Commentary] Since the outbreak, the Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has been at the forefront of epidemic prevention and control. In the face of the turbulent epidemic, Union Hospital gave full play to the strength and responsibility of the national team, treated more than 5,200 patients with new coronary pneumonia, received more than 20,000 fever patients, managed two square cabin hospitals, and became the hospital with the most patients in Wuhan.

[Commentary] As the leader of Wuhan Union Hospital, Hu Yu is the first to take the lead, always fighting on the front line and sleeping for only a few hours a day. Hu Yu recalled that in the early stage of the epidemic, he faced dilemmas such as insufficient intensive care beds and the hospital's protective materials "defying all food". At the initial stage of the establishment of the shelter hospital, the heating system and the excretion system did not meet the requirements.

Because this disease has been there for a while, everyone is very difficult, because at that time, the outbreak rate of this disease is relatively fast, that is, the number of infected people doubles quickly. In this process, at the beginning, it was a bit hectic. The first protective material was inadequate, and the second medical equipment was inadequate. Of course, the country's transportation (transportation) deployment capability is very strong, and finally these deficiencies have been made up.

【Explanation】 Wuhe Union Hospital, founded in 1866, has 5000 beds, is a hospital affiliated to the National Health and Health Commission, a hospital affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, a "double first-class" university, and is also one of the hospitals that treated patients with new crowns earlier. . If you compare it to the "aircraft carrier" hospital on the front line of combat epidemic, then Hu Yu is the "captain" who is in charge of this "aircraft carrier".

As the dean of the hospital, it is duty-bound to lead our national medical team at the "aircraft carrier" level (other), such as our Concord Hospital, to accept any tasks assigned to us by the national government and the people.

[Explanation] Hu Yu, who has been a doctor for many years, has faced a hundred battles, but is facing a sudden outbreak, how to increase the rate of admission, avoid infection of medical staff, reduce the mortality of critically ill patients, and lack of protective materials have become a series of problems. The "captain" immediately needed to solve the problem.

Therefore, we adjusted the fever clinic at an emergency and expanded its area. Later, we adjusted it to more than 1,000 square meters and embezzled all the halls. A medical team was dispatched nationwide and the experienced medical staff of our Concord headquarters were sent to the front line.

[Commentary] On February 11, the Union Medical College Cancer Center was recruited as the fourth batch of "New Coronary Pneumonia Critical Patients Intensive Treatment Hospital". Under the order of assembly, the word "fast" of the cancer center took the lead, the ward was vacated within 24 hours, the ward reconstruction, protective materials preparation and the formation of three medical teams in our hospital were completed within 48 hours. Twelve national medical teams rushed to Wuhan to join the hospital and fight the epidemic together. On February 15th, the cold wave hit, the snow and snow, and the epidemic continued, and the transfer of 499 patients was completed that day. A total of nearly 800 patients were admitted and treated in the first three days.

[Commentary] Hu Yu is not only the dean of the top three hospitals, but also a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The new coronary pneumonia epidemic has exposed the problems of hospital management, primary medical care, emergency measures and other aspects like a microscope. The importance of fighting well in combination with "combined boxing" and improving emergency treatment capabilities.

In the future, the layout of the hospital and the setting of the hospital must be adjusted according to the experience summarized in this epidemic. That is, I usually make the hospital into the treatment of ordinary patients, then it can be easily expanded into this infectious disease treatment hospital in wartime, and the conditions for its critical care are still very good. Only in this way can you ensure that in the event of an emergency, when a certain disease surges, it has the ability to cope with this situation, so I think the hospital should have this kind of thinking of combining peace and war to carry out Its layout.

[Explanation] At present, China's new coronary pneumonia epidemic has been effectively controlled, but Hu Yu's workload has not decreased due to the improvement of the epidemic. Considering that the global new pneumonia epidemic situation is still not optimistic, Hu Yu decided to organize experts in the hospital to share the valuable experience accumulated in China to all countries in the world through video remote connection. At present, Union Hospital has held international video conferences with universities and hospitals in 11 countries and regions, including Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, to share experience and work together to fight back the epidemic together with people around the world.
