  It is understood that Fangcang shelter hospitals mainly take care of mild and asymptomatic infected people, and the corresponding conditions for carrying out surgical operations are insufficient.

How to further treat it has become a challenge for the team members.

The medical team members of the Shanghai Tenth Hospital decided to rise to the challenge and strive to create conditions.

  Since there were no instruments and sterile items required for surgery in the cabin, Dr. Huang Jianhua quickly contacted the anti-epidemic headquarters of Wusong Hospital to coordinate the emergency delivery of sterile materials and debridement and suture supplies into the cabin.

The emergency room in the cabin does not have the conditions for suturing, and the "big whites" adapt to the situation, using existing equipment such as bed sheets, shelves, rescue flat cars, rescue vehicles, rescue tables, etc., through arrangement and on-site disinfection, due to alcohol-iodine and other disinfection equipment Limited, sterile dressing equipment and special suture bags are missing, smart medical staff use disposable canned sterile alcohol cotton balls as disinfection equipment, and a temporary operating room is beginning to look like.

  The operation officially started. Due to the lack of light in the cabin, the nursing girls turned on the flash of their mobile phones to brighten them up.

Wearing protective clothing will inevitably affect the accuracy of movements, and the protective goggles and upper screen will become extremely blurred due to sweat vapor. Doctors and nurses are struggling to overcome these difficulties.

The rust in the old man's wound must be cleaned thoroughly. Cong Ruijun, an expert from the military doctor, did not care that the patient was a positive infection of the new crown virus. He almost kept close to the old man's face, carefully observed the wound and cleaned it thoroughly.

  After nearly half an hour of thorough debridement, repeated rinsing of the wound, thorough hemostasis and careful suturing, the old man's wound was treated and the suturing was accurate.
