China News Service, Chongqing, August 18 (Han Lu, Li Lutong) At 8 o'clock on the 18th, as the attending doctor of the Critical Care Medicine Department of Chongqing Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Qi Haifeng, as usual, began a day's work from the handover of cases. He speaks unhappily, he nods and smiles when he sees each patient, and he will carefully answer each other’s questions when he meets patients who are not in charge of him... As a doctor who is always facing critically ill patients, Qi Haifeng is the first to report to China News. One impression is "gentle and patient."
This year, Qi Haifeng, as a member of the Chongqing-aided Hubei medical team, went to Wuhan to support the local fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. He said that as a member of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, in the face of disasters, not actively participating is an alternative.

"During the operation, it is fast to save lives. Because we usually come into contact with pregnant women, speaking slowly to them will make you feel at ease. Sometimes patients have confidence and peace of mind, and the disease will heal quickly." Qi Haifeng ran into the patient who was helped out by his family in the corridor outside the ward, and "handled" the patient back to the ward.
"Our job is mainly to take care of high-risk pregnant and lying-in women, and to do pregnancy maintenance for them. At the same time, the severely ill patients who cannot be handled by the district and county-level maternal and child health hospitals in Chongqing will be referred to our hospital and our department will take over the treatment." Qi Haifeng said, Some pregnant women will experience respiratory and circulatory failure before childbirth, and some pregnant women will experience major hemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism, fever and septic shock after childbirth. "These are the scope of our treatment."
When receiving critically ill patients, the emergency doctors of Chongqing Maternal and Child Health Hospital will carry oxygen tubes and ventilator on their backs, and will accompany them from the ambulance to the hospital. After completing the basic emergency diagnosis and treatment, you will be transferred to the corresponding department. "From entering the hospital, there is no gap in the entire emergency process. If surgery is needed, we will directly transfer the patient to the operating room." Qi Haifeng said.
Although he speaks mildly and often laughs, Qi Haifeng, who is only 37 years old, already has a lot of gray hair. "From the perspective of the number of admissions alone, women and children's specialist hospitals will have a smaller number of admissions than general hospitals, but the work stress is greater. Because we are facing a special group of pregnant women, we need to be more cautious."
Caution is not only embodied in the treatment of patients. For Qi Haifeng, two mobile phone cards from different communication service providers must be put in the mobile phone, the mobile phone will not be turned off for 24 hours, and there will always be a charger and a power bank... This kind of "caution" has become his usual practice. .
"Generally, when the battery level of the mobile phone is less than 20%, I will worry that the mobile phone will suddenly run out of power and become anxious." Qi Haifeng said, if I see the phone in the department, the first time I think about it, is there any in the ward? A high-risk patient has a condition. "Our department has the phone records of every doctor's family member. If I can't find me, the department will contact the family members."
Except for outpatient visits, Qi Haifeng spends most of the time in the ward of the Critical Care Medicine Department. See medical records, ward rounds, and be ready to receive patients at any time. "Although we also work on an 8-hour work system, we never go to and from work on time. When we are on duty, we have to spend nearly 30 hours at the unit at a time." Qi Haifeng's duty room is next to the ward of the Intensive Medicine Department, outside the ward This 40-meter walkway is his main activity area in the hospital.
He confessed that doctors in the Department of Critical Care Medicine are dealing with critically ill patients, and they require a greater psychological endurance than ordinary doctors. "The reason for persisting for so many years is probably because I think that what we saved from our work is a real person, a life that can be felt." Qi Haifeng said that with the development of medical technology, the previous treatment Many regrets in the process have now been made up. "For example, in the case of renal failure, dialysis can now be achieved in the ward or even on the operating table."
"Intensive Care Medicine (ICU) is an integrated medicine. Doctors do not treat patients from a single disease. What we see is the whole body. This is also our advantage." As a doctor of Intensive Care Medicine, Qi Haifeng also served as Chongqing aid this year. A member of the Hubei medical team went to Wuhan to support the local fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. "As a member of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, if you don't take the initiative to participate in the face of a disaster, it is an alternative."
