"Speed and Passion" of a Head Nurse
【 First-line anti-epidemic group spectrum 】
Guangming Daily reporter Wen Qingsheng Guangming Daily correspondent Li Yongfei Xu Wei
The first ray of sunshine in Jiangcheng early morning spilled into the window, and Li Xiaoli, the head nurse of 14 departments infected in Guanggu Hospital of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, began a busy day. She wears protective equipment quickly and is about to go to her battlefield: "Red Zone".
The polluted area in the ward where COVID-19 patients are admitted is called "red zone" because of its high risk of infection. Here, it is the place where Li Xiaoli struggles every day and the battlefield where she interprets "speed and passion".
Li Xiaoli, from a hospital of the Rocket Army, is petite, with short hair and ear-length. He talks like a bean, walks with a gust of wind, and the secretary has one word: Quick! She said that this was practiced little by little in the army.
He has been a soldier for 31 years, engaged in clinical nursing for 26 years, participated in international peacekeeping, carried out military tasks such as earthquake relief and debris flow rescue, and seen too many "moments of life and death". Li Xiaoli knows more clearly: "Saving people is like fighting, winning and losing every second, and we will have an extra chance of winning treatment."
Speed is life, and treatment is war! Li Xiaoli experienced "the speed of life and death" again and again after the war.
One morning, when Li Xiaoli made rounds, she found that 85-year-old Uncle Zheng’s eyes were dull, but his vital signs were basically stable, so she told the nurses on duty to pay more attention. As expected, uncle Zheng suddenly had an acute attack of complications at dinner, and his blood potassium was reduced to half of normal people, and his blood oxygen saturation dropped rapidly to 56%. Li Xiaoli immediately implemented first aid according to the doctor’s advice: intravenous potassium supplementation, high-flow oxygen inhalation, and informed the intensive care unit to prepare for intubation treatment.
A series of orderly treatment operations dragged Grandpa Zheng back from the brink of death. Uncle Zheng’s son, who was also in the same room for treatment, witnessed this thrilling scene and was so excited that he didn’t know what to say, just thanked him assiduously.
"As a nurse, it is not as simple as taking temperature, measuring blood pressure, giving medicine by injection, but having the ability to tug-of-war with death at a critical time." Li Xiaoli said.
Li Xiaoli’s father is a veteran who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. When she left home to serve as a soldier, she gave her a sentence: "A real warrior should be excited when he goes to the battlefield, so that he can win the battle." Over the years, her father’s "spiritual mantle" has been well passed down on her.
Before supporting Hubei this time, although Li Xiaoli had already reported her retirement, she still led nurses in Corey to submit the application form collectively. In Wuhan, she served as the head nurse of 14 infectious diseases departments, which is the oldest among the general nurses. Qiao Huixia, the nurse in charge, has worked with Li Xiaoli for 13 years, and her impression is: "As soon as you put on protective clothing, it is like being fully charged with electricity, and you will have endless energy when you put into work."
At the nurses’ station, there is a small "supervision column", in which different notes are posted every day. This is what Li Xiaoli lists the problems and shortcomings that existed that day after rounds, and the next day, he will "write off the accounts" item by item.
During the interview, Li Xiaoli picked up a piece of paper with 12 "tips" written on it: there are missing items in the first admission evaluation, the date of opening the bottle of hand disinfectant is not filled in, and the 62-bed deep vein catheterization needs key monitoring & HELIP; … Li Xiaoli check one by one, and began to write down the day’s "list of questions". She said: "Don’t look at the small problem, it’s not good for the metropolis ‘ A hole with a big needle tip blows a big wind ’ 。”
During the interview, the reporter found a phenomenon that nurses never called the bed number when they entered the ward, but called grandparents, uncles and aunts, and the patients smiled. Nurse Qian Qian said that this "special regulation" in Li Xiaoli has been adhered to for more than 10 years.
Grandma Wang, a 92-year-old patient in Li Xiaoli, said a few words to her before leaving the hospital. As soon as I entered the ward, I found grandma Wang sitting by the bed waiting for her: "Daughter, I was discharged from the hospital today, and the old woman wants to see you."
