"Is there any good way to make the mask not rub my face so much? When I devote myself to work, I can forget about the itch for a while, and I always want to scratch my face when I take a little rest. ”

Lin Pan's face was stuffy for a few days, not only did he have mask strangulation marks, but he also had allergies.

"I read on the Internet that the mask can be padded with a layer of sanitary pads, and the friction is better, but then it will be more breathable. ”

Wang Mengxue sighed.

Everyone exchanged a few tired words, but they didn't find any good way.

The head nurse is still the last one to come out, Meng Tiantian helped her spray alcohol disinfection, and the head nurse Hu Yang has been obviously tired a lot in the past few days, and her face is also worn out by the mask like them.

"One thing I want to tell you is that when we came, many of the wards were attended by a single nurse, and because you are not familiar with it, there were two people in each ward. ”

"Do you want to become one person in charge of a ward now?" Wang Mengxue asked, she subconsciously glanced at Meng Tiantian, she and Meng Tiantian were in charge of a ward these days, and everything happened that Meng Tiantian was in front of her, she just followed.

If she really had to be in charge of the ward alone, she was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to do it well.

"There are more and more patients, and the medical staff who have been sticking to their posts before are also a little unbearable, and some need to take a temporary break, which has been six days, and I believe everyone can do it. ”

The head nurse's voice was tired and hoarse, but she still patiently explained to everyone.

"I can be in charge of a separate ward if the hospital needs it. ”

Tian Mei pushed her eyes and said, she has worked for many years and is a relatively qualified nurse, and it is not a big problem for her to be in charge of the ward alone.

But Li Jing and Wang Mengxue, the two young people, were a little nervous.

"If any of you can't do it yourself, you can report it immediately, if you don't say it, it's okay, since you think it's okay, then you have to start being independent, serious and responsible from tomorrow, is anyone not good?"

The head nurse Hu Yang's stern gaze swept over everyone, and Wang Mengxue and Li Jing both clenched their fists.

"Head nurse, I'...... I ......"

"Wang Mengxue, can you be alone?" Hu Yang looked at Wang Mengxue seriously.

"I can! I can do what others can, and I've dealt with emergencies, I think I can!"

Wang Mengxue plucked up the courage to shout, and the others also said that they could.

Hu Yang stretched out his hand and patted Wang Mengxue's shoulder, and asked, "Who has ever had ICU medical experience?"

Meng Tiantian and Tian Mei raised their hands.

"The ICU is now all critically ill and needs to be cared for 24 hours, so if you two think you can, you two will start coming into the ICU with me tomorrow. ”

"As long as the hospital needs it, I can go at any time!" Meng Tiantian said firmly, and Tian Mei also said that she could go at any time.

Hu Yang nodded, "Okay! Then it's decided, there will be a change in the work arrangement tomorrow morning, but the work content is no different from before, you may be more tired and stressed, and if there is a situation that cannot be solved, immediately respond to me!"

Everyone agreed seriously, but after returning to the hotel, Wang Mengxue was still very nervous, and even had a little insomnia at night.

Before entering the quarantine area the next day, the head nurse encouraged everyone again.

"Before we came, the nurses here were all in charge of the ward, and you can definitely do the same! Don't be afraid, cheer up, we can do what others do!"

This is especially said to Wang Mengxue and Li Jing, two young people who are a little scared, and the head nurse's tone today is much softer.

Before going in, he checked the protective clothing for everyone one by one as usual, and Meng Tiantian was also very nervous.

The ICU is an intensive care unit, which is full of critically ill patients, and the ICU is also the last line of defense for the patient's life.

Tian Mei was assigned to another ward, while Meng Tiantian was arranged in the same ward as the head nurse, Hu Yang.

Entering the ICU ward, there is already a group of nurses and doctors who are busy, there are all kinds of white medical devices in the ward, and there is a row of instruments for monitoring next to it, the sound of the machine is loud, and the vast majority of patients are lying on the bed with breathing apparatus placed on their noses, and various tubes are connected to their bodies, each tube is connected to life.

There are ten patients in a ward, this is a newly expanded ward after the outbreak of the epidemic, doctors and nurses are basically stationed in it all day, Meng Tiantian quickly went to the No. 3 bed he was responsible for to find someone to hand over, and the head nurse Hu Yang handed over to the No. 8 bed.

Because they are all critically ill patients, nurses basically have to provide one-on-one special care, except for their own beds that can support other beds without special conditions, and pay attention to the patients they are responsible for the rest of the time.

"Hello, I'm Meng Tiantian, and I've just been transferred from the general ward. Meng Tiantian quickly introduced himself.

"My name is Xu Ting," the nurse with the medical record in her hand was observing the equipment next to the patient's bed, and when she saw Meng Tiantian coming over, she quickly turned her head and began to introduce the patient's situation, and handed the medical record to Meng Tiantian.

"This patient's name is Shi Hai, 58 years old, he has been in the hospital for 12 days of isolation, and now he is in a bad condition, he suffers from diabetes and hypertension, because the lung infection has a great load on the whole body organs, and he has been in need of oxygen supply. ”

She spoke bluntly in front of the patient, in fact, Meng Tiantian also knew something before she came, and the patients who entered the ICU basically had to have a general understanding of their physical condition, which was also conducive to cooperating with the doctor's treatment.

Meng Tiantian glanced at the machine again with her gaze, the breathing waveform on it was quite stable at this time, Xu Ting's voice was tired, but she still carefully explained the precautions before leaving.

Meng Tiantian greeted the patient, and then quickly looked through the medical records and nursing records.

Tian Hai closed his eyes tiredly after saying a few words, but he didn't seem to be sleeping, the wards were full of doctors and nurses talking and communicating quickly, and occasionally there were faint voices of patients answering doctors' questions.

Although there were more people in the entire large ward than in the ordinary ward, the atmosphere was much tense and dull, and not long after Meng Tiantian came in, he was affected by this oppressive atmosphere, and the whole person couldn't help but take a deep breath several times.

She carefully observes the patient's respiratory waveform and ECG monitor, and according to the records in the medical record book, she will soon help him routinely measure blood oxygen and blood pressure, which she is already very proficient in.

The monitoring instrument of the No. 4 bed next to him suddenly made a rapid call, and the nurse who took care of it immediately arrived to start dealing with the abnormality, she quickly glanced at it, and then retracted her gaze to look at the patient Tian Hai under her care, because of the call of the machine, he opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to look at the side, but his eyes were at a loss.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Tian Hai didn't speak, shook his head slightly and closed his eyes again.

And in the hospital bed next to him, doctors and nurses were already hastily and methodically dealing with the patient's emergency.

The rapid sound of "Di Di Di" did not stop, and doctors and nurses were also cooperating with each other to treat patients.

"My heart rate has dropped to 44!"

"Hurry up and compress the heart, increase the oxygen flow, and adjust the high flow oxygen inhalation!"

"The airway is blocked, and I need to sputum immediately!"

"Keep pressing on the heart and don't stop...... My heart is beating back!"

With the rapid issuance of instructions one after another, the patient's critical condition was finally ruled out after ten minutes, but he still needed to continue to be carefully cared for.

Meng Tiantian watched from the sidelines, but his heart was also up and down, and the situation in the ICU was much more serious than that in ordinary wards.

In the ICU ward, in addition to nursing in front of the bed, he is guarding in front of the instrument to see the patient's breathing and various vital signs, but he is much more tired than before.

When it came to the meal, she had to help Tian Hai feed her with her own hands, and she had to pay more attention to the breathing waveform and oxygen inhalation when eating, but a person like Tian Hai was already in a better situation in the intensive care ward.

Meng Tiantian felt that her whole body was soaked with sweat after a while, and the head nurse Hu Yang worked even harder, the patients she was caring for were in a very serious condition, the trachea was cut and intubated to assist breathing, most of the time was in a coma, unable to speak.

However, the patient is prone to produce sputum after intubation, and needs to help the patient suction.

"Protector! Protector ......" Tian Haitou shook his head slightly, although his voice was weak, but Meng Tiantian, who had been paying attention, immediately heard his voice.

"Do you want water?"

Tian Hai shook his head, raised his hand lightly and pointed at his body, Meng Tiantian immediately understood that he wanted to turn over, and immediately leaned down to help.

These patients are different from patients in ordinary wards, they can't even get out of bed and walk around a little bit, and move their hands and feet.

The cold mechanical sound of various instruments in the ward has not stopped, and the rapid calls will sound every few moments, the doctors in the ward are constantly busy, and the voices of Jiang Wei and Dong Le, the two doctors who remain in the ward, are a little hoarse.

has been guarding the bedside for more than three hours, Meng Tiantian listened to all kinds of sounds around him, critically ill patients may have accidents at any time, but fortunately, they were temporarily pulled back from the death line with the continuous efforts of medical staff.

It wasn't until 2 p.m. that the doctors routinely came to take chest X-rays, and in order to prevent radiation, the nurses, who had been in the ward, were able to temporarily come out to the corridor for a while.

"How is it? can you get used to it?" the head nurse, Hu Yang, walked up to Meng Tiantian and asked her.

"You can get used to it, but it's very stressful, what about the patient over there? ”

"If there is anything in the intensive care unit that is not serious, just tell me if you have any difficulties. Hu Yang leaned tiredly on the edge of the corridor, the ICU ward was on the fifth floor of the hospital, and there was heavy glass in the long corridor outside, so that he could see the situation outside the hospital building.

In addition to the medical staff wearing protective clothing, the huge hospital is an ordinary person who is ready to handle admission and discharge, but the number of admissions has increased dramatically in the past two days, and even if you look down from the fifth floor, you can see those people approaching the hospital building in despair.
