Medical staff of the Department of Emergency Medicine in Qilu Hospital are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Recently, an ambulance raced by with sirens wailing. A nurse of the Department of Emergency Medicine immediately rushed to examine the patient. The first-aid personnel told her the patient was in critical condition and needed an urgent surgery, for he/she had a fever and racing heart rate and was clinically diagnosed with peritonitis and dilated cardiomyopathy. While examining the patient, medical staff asked family members of the patient, knowing that they came from medium- or high-risk areas and did not have negative nucleic acid certificates within 24 hours.
Without a negative nucleic acid certificate? Save the life first! The patient cannot wait! Department of Emergency Medicine adhered to the life supremacy principle, performing prompt first aid treatment at the isolation room at the department.
Experts from relevant departments came as soon as possible, performing first aid after taking precautions, and before that, Department of Emergency Medicine had contacted Department of Laboratory Medicine to do the nucleic acid testing and preoperative tests. Although during the pandemic, nothing could hinder our medical staff from saving patients, and once again, they succeeded.
