Anti-SARS, the deeds of head nurse Ye Xin

On the battlefield against SARS, the vast number of medical workers held high the banner of Bethune spirit, selfless and fearless, charged ahead, and wrote a magnificent chapter to save lives with their lives.

Ye Xin, the head nurse of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, passed away forever when Magnolia was in full bloom. She died in the battle against atypical pneumonia. Before she died, she left an unforgettable sentence: it's dangerous here, let me do it.

It is the lofty spiritual realm of countless medical workers to leave risks to themselves and safety to patients. It is with the tenacious struggle of a large number of white soldiers that the spread of atypical pneumonia can be contained. People can enjoy a quiet life.

-People's Daily April 18 comment: People's health is more important than Mount Tai.

"Whoever heals the sick will have no desire, and swear to save the suffering of the spirit. Don't worry about good and bad, protect your life. Day and night, cold and heat, hunger and thirst, fatigue, dedication to save people. "

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, listed the book "Great Doctor Sincerity" at the top of his masterpiece "Save a Thousand Daughters for Emergency", arguing that doctors must carry forward the humanitarian spirit of saving lives, be "expert" and "sincere" morally, and be a "great doctor" with both ability and political integrity.

The article "big doctor Sincerity" is the first lesson that Ye Xin, head nurse of the emergency department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was admitted to the "Health Training Team" of the hospital on 1974.

Ye Xin has been a head nurse in the emergency department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for 23 years. Whether it is to give first aid to dying migrant workers who jumped off a building, or to take the lead in nursing AIDS drug addicts, or to risk their lives to save patients with atypical pneumonia, she has not "looked back and forth, mixed with worries and joys." She wrote the "sincerity" of China's great doctor with her own life. In the early morning of March 24th, 2003, Ye Xin died at the age of 46, who was unfortunately infected by rescuing SARS patients.

Over the past few days, the reporter visited Ye Xin's family, friends, colleagues, patients and attending doctors (who were in charge of her dying rescue) to pursue angels in white's immortal spirit.

Send medicine and soup to everyone every day.

Be sure to personally supervise everyone to take preventive medicine with boiling water, even the cleaners are no exception.

Ersha Branch of Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been receiving cases of atypical pneumonia since February. As a result, before in Dade Road General Hospital, first-line medical staff were infected and sick, and nurses in Ye Xin were especially careful.

Every morning, she returns to the department half an hour early to prepare preventive drugs for everyone and distribute them to every doctor, nurse, caregiver and even cleaner. Some preventive drugs have strong side effects, so Ye Xin must personally supervise everyone to take them with boiled water.

Before entering the ward, Ye Xin repeatedly emphasized various preventive measures: replacing work clothes, shoes and socks; Wear a mask, hat and eye mask; Isolation gown should be replaced before entering the isolation ward; Wash your hands and rinse your mouth when you leave the isolation ward.

On the day of fighting against SARS, she only slept for a few hours every day, but before going to bed, she still did not forget to cook a pot of old fire soup, sometimes American ginseng and sometimes Cordyceps sinensis. She will take it back to the hospital the next day and give it to her colleagues to improve her resistance.

Always keep the danger to yourself

In the face of critically ill infectious patients, she took the lead, and sometimes even closed the door to rescue, not allowing too many people to intervene.

No one can be sure when Ye was infected with atypical pneumonia. Every time a suspected or confirmed patient is sent to Corey, she and the director of the emergency department take the lead, undertake heavy medical care work, and sometimes even close the door to rescue, so as not to let too many colleagues intervene.

"I have checked the patient's temperature, listened to the lungs and sucked sputum. Don't go in and try to reduce the chance of infection. " These words made many young nurses cry in the face of SARS.

"Ye Huchang may have been infected on February 24th." Nurse Xiao Rong recalled that that night, a 40-year-old patient with acute intestinal obstruction was found to be complicated with high fever, lung shadow and other atypical pneumonia symptoms after emergency surgery, so he was sent to the emergency department for observation and soon developed respiratory failure. Ye Huchang rushed to the front line, cooperated with the doctor to intubate and put on a ventilator. At that time, the patient had a lot of secretions, which may have been sprayed on the head nurse during the rescue. ...

"It may be that Hu Ye was infected while cleaning after Xiao Chen got sick." Nurse Xiao Yu clearly remembers that after the first case of nurse infection occurred in Corey at the end of February, Director Ye has been thinking hard, not knowing which link was not done enough, giving the virus an opportunity. She personally disinfected every phone, cleaned every doorknob, checked the disinfection work clothes, and changed the place in work shoes and the position of insoles. Xiao Yu believes that Ye Huchang was exposed to so many suspicious poisons during disinfection, which may have been infected at that time.

"It may be that on the morning of March 1, four of our medical staff fell ill after rescuing patients." Zhang Zhongde, the director of the emergency department who also fell ill, couldn't forget the rescue situation at that time: three days later, on March 4, 12, 6: 00, 10, Chief Ye, Director Zhang and Dr. Jiang of the emergency department were isolated due to fever, and the anesthesiologist also became ill on the same day.

At 8: 00 a.m. on March 1 Sunday, the emergency department is changing shifts. The family of an 87-year-old suspected SARS patient rushed into the doctor's office: The patient is dying! Director Hu Ye and others rushed to the patient's bed: the patient's face was purple, his lips were purple, his breathing was weak, and the regular ECG was deformed into a chaotic waveform ... Everyone immediately evacuated all the other three patients and their families in the ward, and then urgently performed chest massage, artificial respiration, cardiac shock, intravenous access, repeated injections of first aid and cardiotonic, and intubation of ventilator. ...

At 9 am, the patient died after being rescued. This is a highly dangerous patient. Everyone knows that isolation gown is the way to rescue people, but during the more than one hour of rescue, no one will leave the patient for even a few minutes to protect themselves.

Lying in bed thinking about work

When the doctors and nurses approached her, she struggled to write "Don't come near me, it will be contagious" on the paper.

In the early days of isolation treatment, Ye Xin could still call. She calls Cory every day, telling everyone to remember to take preventive medicine, telling colleagues to pay attention to physical examination, asking nurses to record urine volume for patients in bed 7 and pat patients in bed 9 on the back. ...

On the fourth day of onset, he had difficulty breathing and was sent to ICU with the director of the emergency department. Everyone wore oxygen masks, and they could only encourage each other by sending short messages and writing notes. Everyone joked that the nurses and directors of the emergency department were still flirting with geese in the ICU. ...

In order to reduce the chance of her colleagues being infected, she rehydrated herself. When doctors and nurses approached her to listen to her lungs and suck sputum, she struggled to write on the paper: "Don't come near me, it will be contagious." When the dean and other colleagues came to visit, she wrote: "I am very hard, but I can bear it." Thank you for your concern, but don't come to me in the future. I don't want to infect everyone. "

On March 1 1, Director Zhang of the emergency department received the last note written by the director: "I really can't stand it, I have to go to the ventilator." Director Zhang, who also had difficulty breathing, replied to her trembling: "Nurse, you must hold on! The doctors and nurses in the whole hospital are supporting us! "

Zhang didn't wait for Ye's reply. After intubation on the ventilator, she was sedated and went into a "hibernation" state to prevent the ventilator from falling off because of restlessness. When Ye Xin died in the early morning of March 24th, he was very calm.

On the same day, a patient in ICU recovered and was discharged. He is the patient of atypical pneumonia complicated with intestinal obstruction who died in Ye Xin on the evening of February 24th. In order not to leave a shadow on his later life, no one told him when he left the hospital: the nurse who saved him is now buried in the hospital where she devoted her life.

Concentrate experts on the rescue.

A 70-year-old doctor flew from Tianjin to Guangzhou the next day without saying a word.

After Ye Xin fell ill, Zhang Dejiang, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, entrusted Cai Dongshi, secretary-general of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, to express condolences to her and her family and learn about her illness. Lei Yulan, vice governor, accompanied by Huang Yebin, deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, and Huang Qingdao, director of the provincial health department, went to the hospital to inquire about the treatment. The Provincial Health Department, the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine provided technical, material and equipment support for her rescue.

The hospital set up a treatment team and invited the best experts in China to participate in consultation and first aid. The leader of the treatment team is Liu Xusheng, a former director of emergency department in Ye Xin. He simply transferred to the hospital for timely rescue. With Ye Xin's cases and materials, he personally went to the First Zhongshan Hospital, the Second Zhongshan Hospital, the Third Zhongshan Hospital, the Provincial People's Hospital and the Southern Hospital to consult experts in infectious diseases, hematology and nephrology. The deputy director of Guangzhou Eye Protection Institute visited the ward for consultation many times. In the late stage of the disease, Ye Xin developed disseminated intravascular coagulation, systemic hemorrhage and multiple organ failure of heart, liver and kidney. The hospital invited an expert specializing in multiple organ failure from Tianjin Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. The 70-year-old doctor said nothing. The next day he flew to Guangzhou and walked into Ye Xin's ward. ...

Work for 23 years has "three outstanding"

She loves her job and devotes herself to it. Over the years, she has made outstanding achievements in lumbar disc herniation and cervical disc herniation.

1976 after joining the work, Ye Xin became the youngest head nurse in 1980 hospital because of her top-notch business and good conduct. In the emergency department, which races against death every minute, the waiting time is 23 years. In the past 23 years, she has "three prominent": lumbar disc herniation and cervical vertebra protrusion, with outstanding achievements.
