[Explanation] Recently, Chongqing has ushered in the peak of the epidemic, and the number of critically ill patients continues to increase. Medical staff and medical equipment are facing unprecedented pressure.
During the New Year's Day holiday, the reporter came to the infection diagnosis and treatment area of the Army Special Medical Center of the Army Military Medical University, and used the camera to record the scenes of medical staff opening the life channel for critically ill patients.
[Explanation] In the intensive ward of the infection diagnosis and treatment area of the Army Special Medical Center, the sounds of various monitoring instruments "beep, beep, beep" one after another.
The reporter saw that seven medical staff were turning over a critically ill patient and ventilating in a prone position to increase the patient's lung ventilation.

Come on, one two three.
[Explanation] With everyone's cooperation in place and skillful movements, it takes about 10 minutes to turn over each time. According to the actual situation of the patient, it needs to be turned every 16 hours. It takes at least 2 hours to turn more than 40 patients every day.
[Explanation] Jian Fuxia, the head nurse in the hospital infection diagnosis and treatment area, said that she is currently facing the biggest challenge since she started her career: the number of critically ill patients has surged, 80% of whom are elderly people over 65 years old with multiple underlying diseases, and they often have difficulty breathing when they come to see a doctor , In the case of multiple organ failure, the test results of the new coronavirus are mostly positive.
[Explanation] There are many patients with serious illnesses, and medical staff and medical equipment are operating at full speed 24 hours a day.
In order to overcome the attrition of medical staff due to a large number of infections, many medical staff returned to work despite illness, and the hospital also transferred medical staff from other departments.
Jian Fuxia has not been home for more than two months. She said that if the oxygen saturation is low, the heart rate is fast, the blood pressure is low, and there is a disturbance of consciousness, the patient needs to be rescued immediately.
In the past, there may have been only a few in a day, but recently this kind of tense situation is happening all the time. Medical staff treat new patients while rescuing patients whose condition has deteriorated. It can be said that there is no moment for rest.

Many medical staff are also sick, and they apply for work voluntarily when their symptoms are slightly relieved.
Although the workload is heavy, everyone is very confident that under the existing conditions, we can treat more critically ill patients.

I think that in the face of any difficulties, as long as one's confidence does not fall, any difficulties can be easily solved. In the face of difficulties, everyone should not be afraid of difficulties, but should work together to solve them and overcome them.
[Explanation] Insufficient manpower can go to work with illness, or deploy support, but the advent of the peak of severe cases has caused the emergency of medical equipment such as ventilators and monitors, bringing greater pressure.
In order to improve the treatment rate of patients and mobilize all available space, manpower, and equipment to treat patients, the Army Special Medical Center dispatched experts and professors from the Department of Critical Care Medicine and medical backbones to form a treatment team, and adopted systematic and standardized diagnosis and treatment methods to ensure that the number of hospital beds increased, Improve the efficiency of medical equipment transfer and transfer, and strengthen the anti-virus, pulmonary rehabilitation, immune regulation, nutritional support, psychological counseling and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment for critically ill patients in accordance with the principle of "receiving as many patients as possible" and "one policy for one person", so that more The condition of many patients was effectively controlled and they recovered and were discharged.

After our current systematic treatment, the fatality rate of patients has dropped significantly, and many patients, even in a very severe state, are also going in a good direction.
[Explanation] The doctor reminded that the peak of severe illness has not yet passed. Once symptoms appear, the elderly with underlying diseases are advised to go to the hospital for condition assessment early to avoid mild illness from turning into severe illness.
At the same time, it calls for hierarchical and classified diagnosis and treatment, that is, patients with mild illnesses should first go to community health service centers or secondary hospitals for diagnosis and treatment and prescribe medicines, leaving the medical resources of tertiary hospitals for critically ill patients.
