At 15:30 on July 22, a helicopter landed slowly on the helipad of Henan Provincial People's Hospital. A critically ill patient transferred from Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital was carefully lifted off the plane by medical staff and then sent off. Go to the ward for treatment.
During the heavy rain in Zhengzhou, Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital was severely affected, and a large number of patients needed to be transferred, and the transfer of severely ill patients was more difficult.
In the past few days, the transfer of various power organizations has continued.
The reporter saw at the scene that two helicopters participated in the air rescue.
According to the medical staff of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, those who were transported by helicopter were all critically ill patients from the ICU ward.
With permission, the reporter followed the rescuers from Henan Provincial People's Hospital to Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital by helicopter.
In the cabin, the left side is the position of a patient stretcher, the front right is a seat, and the rear right is two seats, accompanied by three medical staff.
There are oxygen cylinders, ECG monitoring equipment, and first aid kits for external use in the ICU.
The two hospitals are about 24 kilometers away by car and only 6 minutes by helicopter.
After the plane landed steadily on the apron of Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital, the medical staff quickly and orderly carried the critically ill patient into the cabin, the crew quickly closed the cabin door, and the helicopter took off again.
The whole process took less than a minute, and the helicopter was always ready to fly.
Both hospitals have carefully arranged for the airport drop-off and pick-up link, seamlessly connecting.
Without occupying rescue space, the reporter did not return to Henan Provincial People's Hospital with the helicopter.
According to on-site medical staff, the critically ill patient is accompanied by at least two medical staff on the helicopter. If it is a baby patient, it will be accompanied by three medical staff.
Because the baby is too small, it needs a medical staff to hold it in his arms.
The plane is equipped with oxygen cylinders. Although the one-way time of air rescue is only 6 minutes, every patient is in an "aerobic" state.
According to the staff of Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital, a total of 69 severely ill patients needed to be transferred to Henan Provincial People's Hospital for treatment that day, and several of them were babies.
The two helicopters traveled between the two hospitals at a rate of 6 patients per hour.
A helicopter of the Public Welfare Rescue Promotion Association of the Zhejiang Ram Association participated in the air rescue and was one of the many rescue forces.
The president of the association He Jun introduced that after arriving at the Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital in Fuwai on the 21st, 5 critically ill patients were transferred on the same day, and another 24 were transferred on the 22nd.
As night fell, the helicopter transfer work came to an end. The reporter walked down from the apron to the lobby on the first floor of the Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital in Fuwai. Ground rescuers were using rubber boats to transport the trapped people, and there was deep stagnant water. The rubber dinghy shuttled back and forth. Both the air and the ground, the two rescue scenes, are racing against time. (Finish)
