　　During the interview, the reporter learned that in the prevention and control of the epidemic, the Nephrology Department of the hospital not only needs to ensure the treatment needs of the original dialysis patients, but also accepts patients in closed communities.

According to reports, each patient has 4 hours of dialysis three times a week, and the increase in the working hours of medical staff is huge.

Putting on sultry protective clothing, soaking clothes, swollen and whitish skin on hands, and facial indentation, these are all normal.

　　In order to reduce the flow of medical personnel, the medical staff in the hemodialysis room eat and live in the hospital and stick to their posts.

At 3 a.m. every day, the "hemodialyzers" in the Nephrology Department of Zhongshan Hospital waited for all dialysis machines, water treatment systems, and room aisles to be disinfected and cleaned before leaving one after another.

"This is the duty of our doctors to make every effort to ensure the patient's hemodialysis treatment. I believe that through precise and scientific prevention and control, the epidemic will be defeated as soon as possible." Ding Xiaoqiang is full of confidence.

　　On the 1st, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital that before the closure of Puxi, Xu Wei, the head nurse of the blood purification center of the Nephrology Department of the hospital, issued an announcement in a group of 325 hemodialysis patients and their families, again informing the relevant arrangements and reminders. .

The Shanghai Tenth Hospital told reporters that since the epidemic situation in Shanghai changed in early March, the work intensity of the hospital's hemodialysis room has increased significantly, and variables have continued to appear: patients who are fixed for hemodialysis suddenly cannot come because of the closure and control of the community. Because the closed loop of the department needs to coordinate the transfer of those patients who are outside the hospital, and the patients who need to assist in arranging dialysis transferred from a brother hospital... With the team's full effort and the understanding and cooperation of the patients and their families, the difficulties are easily resolved.

　　Xu Wei said that hemodialysis patients generally require long-term dialysis, and a deep relationship has been established between doctors, nurses and patients.

Daily health management is very important for hemodialysis patients.

When receiving the information that the "community is closed and controlled", the medical and nursing staff in the hemodialysis room will immediately check the current specific situation of the patient. Expert Li Xinhua will call the patient, how to control water intake, how to limit potassium intake, a In order to urge patients to strengthen self-management, take the trouble to avoid omissions.

"I bow deeply to you and say that you have worked hard. Thank you for your efforts. Let us help each other and overcome the difficulties together. In the future, for the normal operation of the Tenth Hospital Hemodialysis Center, we will be a compliance system. A good patient.” In the past two weeks, the department has received several handwritten thank-you letters from patients, and the long messages of thanks in the Kidney Friends WeChat group are constantly refreshing.

　　During the interview, the reporter learned that the Department of Nephrology and Rheumatology of Shanghai Children's Hospital has a "top priority" protection area - the Children's Blood Purification Center.

Recently, a total of 11 children on hemodialysis were on dialysis three times a week in the nephrology department.

The hospital told reporters that in order to ensure the safe operation of the hemodialysis room to the greatest extent, the Renal and Rheumatology Department took precautions and arranged for the hospitalization of hemodialysis children treated in the blood purification center in the early stage of the epidemic.

In this way, it is possible to avoid the dilemma of children being unable to travel for medical treatment due to the blockade and control of the community or area, and to ensure the safe operation of hemodialysis to the greatest extent.

　　In addition to the original hemodialysis children, after the inpatient department of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University entered the closed loop on March 20, the department immediately started the emergency plan after receiving the request for referral from the children's hospital, and successfully received 5 patients from the children's hospital. Long-term dialysis children with severe renal failure ensure that the "lifeline" of these children is unblocked.

It is reported that once these children stop dialysis treatment, there will be immediate fear of their lives.

Wang Ping, deputy chief physician of the Department of Nephrology and Rheumatology, said: "We specially took time out to connect the dialysis and medication plans of the five children with the doctors of the Pediatric Hospital, and then check the shifts one by one and then board the plane safely." Director Huang Wenyan of the Department of Nephrology and Rheumatology Said that this interaction with the Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University is a major training exercise for mutual assistance in the field of Shanghai children's hemodialysis under major public health events. A series of contingency plans provided valuable experience.
