76 Days After The Closure Of The City, How Does "Blood Vessel" Continue In Wuhan?

On April 12th, less than nine a.m., the blood donation car in Wuhan blood center was launched into the Jinzhou District of Hongshan district. Under the call of community volunteers, residents came out of the house one after another, and finally 58 people donated blood successfully.

"Wuhan has just been restarted. In order to facilitate the donation of blood from residents, it is also necessary to reduce the flow of personnel. As long as the number of applicants exceeds a certain number, the blood donation vehicle of Wuhan blood center can be opened to the community gate according to the appointment, or into the District." In April 14th, the Wuhan blood center responsible person said in an interview with the twenty-first Century economic report reporter.

Since April 5th, the leading group of the Wuhan Municipal People's government has issued a voluntary blood donation initiative to the whole society. In a week, the number of blood donors in Wuhan reached over 6000, and the blood donation volume was nearly two million milliliters. Nowadays, more and more people are involved in the blood donation in the community. Since the launch of the initiative, 45 groups of 1298 blood donors have been successful.

Wuhan's resumption, which was ignored by the epidemic in Wuhan, has attracted enough attention. With the resumption of routine treatment in major hospitals in Wuhan, there will be an explosive increase in the operation of the backlog during the epidemic period. Next, Wuhan will continue to focus on units, systems and industries to carry out group emergency blood donation and continue Wuhan's "blood vessels".

Urgent initiatives

After giving up the blood, putting down his sleeves and making some adjustments, Zhang Yingfang returned to his seat and began to collect blood for his colleagues.

Zhang Yingfang is a nurse in the blood donation Department of Wuhan blood center. He worked for thirteen years in the blood collection line, and this time she donated blood for the fourteenth time. "In the past, it was the same way to donate blood. When choosing a small number of people, they sat on the blood chair and finished the work."

Meanwhile, Huang Zhenxing, the driver of the Wuhan blood center motorcade, arrived at the scene. He had just received two blood donors from the riverbank district. Starting from the second year of the lunar new year, he drove a blood donation car with his colleagues and became a "blood donation car" driver. Sometimes he could run dozens of trips a day.

This is the scene of blood donation from the workers' group of Wuhan blood center in the morning of April 1st.

During the epidemic period, more than 100 blood donors have been donated to the blood center. In April 1st, Zhou Zhihua, Party Secretary of Wuhan blood center, took the lead in giving 200 ml of blood. Later, Wang Lan, director of Wuhan blood center, hurried to donate blood from the fire god mountain hospital. During the epidemic, she has been sticking to the front line and joined the operation team of the God of fire hospital at the end of February.

In fact, since January 23rd, more than forty medical staff in the blood donation center of Wuhan blood center have organized blood donation for almost 14 days.

During the epidemic period, there were about 30 blood donors on the streets of Wuhan through directional recruitment and special car transfers. Along with the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation, many blood donors spontaneously call on neighbors to donate blood in the group group and owners' group, and the total blood collection volume rises to about 70 daily.

However, these are far from enough. With the gradual recovery of normal medical order in Wuhan, the number of out-patient and hospitalization is increasing. The daily average blood demand of hospitals is estimated to be about 200 thousand milliliters per day, that is, 800 people are required to participate in voluntary blood donation every day.

During the epidemic period, the whole blood in Wuhan was almost entirely supported by the field. Now that we have resumed work, we can not find anyone else. Zong Xiaobin is the president of the Wuhan voluntary blood donation Volunteers Association. He has been giving blood donation in the street. The blood donor who has donated more than 200 times has not only insisted on donating blood, but also kept in mind the problem of blood supply and collection in Wuhan.

If we want to continue Wuhan's bloodline, we need to launch more martial arts people. In the Wuhan blood center coordination, in April 5th, the Wuhan Municipal People's Government blood donation leading group issued a voluntary blood donation initiative to the whole society. On the same day, the donation letter was painted in the friends circle of the Han people. "Wuhan issued a voluntary blood donation initiative", "Wuhan clinical blood pressure" boarded the micro-blog hot search. In April 6th, the three operators sent the proposal to every citizen's mobile phone by SMS.

After the launch of the emergency initiative, Wuhan residents began to take the major blood donation points on the streets. The blood donation hotline of Wuhan blood center was constantly ringing. In April 6th, 874 people; April 7th, 1311; in April 8th, 1144 people, 3 days of blood donation volume of nearly million milliliters.

ensure supplies

In the 76 days of Wuhan's closure, the Wuhan blood center had a hard time.

In January 23rd, Wuhan cut off its access to the outside world and the traffic in the city was completely shut down. Wang Li, who had been working for 26 years, felt so anxious for the first time. Before the Spring Festival, the stock of whole blood products such as red blood cells, cold precipitates and other blood products in Wuhan blood center reached the highest value in the calendar year. I thought I could have a comfortable year, but it never occurred to me that a storm would come like this.

Before the city was closed, pedestrians in Wuhan had already dropped sharply. "Our job is to find people who donate blood." Wang Li is the head of the Wuhan blood center recruitment department. The blood center of Wuhan blood center has 73 tons of blood per year, of which nearly 40% of the blood volume and recruitment of Comet can not be separated. But where is the epidemic? Where can we find someone to donate blood?

During the epidemic period, blood in clinical use is reduced sharply, and sufficient blood products stored in the blood bank can maintain blood supply in Wuhan for one month. But the stock will run out. Moreover, unlike the whole blood products with a shelf life of up to 35 days, the platelets of blood donation only have a short shelf life of 5 days.

In the afternoon of January 23rd, in order to ensure the supply of blood banks during the epidemic period, the Wuhan blood center leadership group held an emergency meeting again. The meeting decided that according to the geographical location and the principle of convenient blood donation, the city kept 4 blood collection points and 2 blood collection points. All blood donors made appointments by telephone when they were wrong, and strictly prohibited the aggregation of personnel and strict disinfection measures. The center arranges the shuttle bus for blood donation, and also provides blood donation service.

In the new year's Eve, the blood donation Department of Wuhan blood center officially went to work. The team, composed of 48 female medical staff, has created the "Wuhan mode" without platelet deficiency. In 2018, the number and amount of platelet donors in Wuhan ranked first in the country. But with the escalation of prevention and control measures, all residents are segregated at home, where do platelets come from?

The Wuhan blood center communicates with the relevant government departments to make sure that people can travel when the blood donation certificate is confirmed and special vehicles are sent to the blood center. The blood donation Department began to telephone directional recruitment. On the 2nd day of the new year, 16 blood donors arrived at the blood donation center of Wuhan blood center.

"Now I'm a little worried about going out, but I'm in urgent need of blood platelets, so I still came." The Han man, Yan Wen, arrived at the Wuhan blood center more than 40 minutes from the lake and gave two platelets of treatment. Zong Xiaobin, too, was riding a bicycle for more than an hour to donate blood, and his face and hands were red with cold.

But neither the bad weather nor the epidemic is still preventing the blood donation of the Wuhan people. Nearly 30% blood donors have donated blood platelets every half a month since the city was closed. 70% of platelets needed for clinical practice in Wuhan can be "self sufficient".

What about the rest of the 30%? What should we do after the consumption of whole blood products?

"We must report truthful truthfully and actively seek foreign aid." Before the closure of the city, Wuhan blood center has reported to Hubei blood management center several times, analyzed the structure of blood inventory, and estimated the predicament that might be faced next.

In January 26th and February 5th, the national health and Health Committee (hereinafter referred to as the national health and Health Committee) clarified the blood supply of Henan and Hunan blood centers in Hubei and Wuhan provinces. The blood supply of other central blood stations in Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, Chongqing city and Shaanxi province were protected, and the urgent need for blood transfusion and normal medical use in medical institutions was guaranteed. At a special moment, all parts of the country are in the same boat.

The Wuhan blood center immediately set up a blood dispensing group to take charge of blood allocation. Wang Li, who volunteered to join, is the only woman in the blood group.

In February 29th, Yunnan province supported 800 thousand ml red blood cells and 50 treatment platelets in Wuhan, starting from the Kunming blood center. The platelet storage period was only five days. In order to save time to the maximum, Wang Li negotiated with the other side and five p.m. at Hunan Huaihua North toll station.

"Yunnan supports Wuhan, and we must not let them wait for us." Wang Li and three other colleagues started from Wuhan at seven a.m., two hours ahead of the appointed time, and arrived at the appointed place.

At 1:30 on the morning of March 1st, the cold chain car which delayed the trip due to the weather has finally arrived. In order to protect the safety of the other party, the blood is taken without contact. Under the escort of high speed road officials, the blood car arrived at the Wuhan blood center at 9:22 in the morning of 1, and Wang Li and his colleagues stayed on the bus for nearly 27 hours.

This is the daily work of the blood dispensing team. From February 1st to March 24th, the blood dispensing team went to Anhui, Hunan, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places to transfer blood. Their footprints could be spanned across China. The provinces provided nearly 30 thousand bags of blood products for Wuhan to meet the clinical needs of Wuhan 90%, and 1422 small bags of blood to meet the clinical needs of Wuhan 30%.

Convalescent plasma donation

In April 1st, the first rest day after the bus driver Liu Dong returned to work, he made an appointment to donate blood special car to the Wuhan blood center to carry out his fourth new crown pneumonia rehabilitation convalescent plasma donation. What he did not expect was that Cai Taoying, a nurse in Hankou hospital who had the same fourth plasma donations, met in the car. The two were the first consecutive four consecutive donors who donated plasma to the new crown of pneumonia.

In the absence of specific drugs and vaccines, the plasma treatment of rehabilitative patients has become the necessary treatment for patients with new crown pneumonia. Since February 13th, the Wuhan blood center has been the first to carry out rehabilitation plasma collection in the whole country.

Plasma collection during convalescence is a completely new work, and all relevant work processes should be redefined. The Wuhan blood center has identified 5 plasma donation points, and has collected 50 people in various departments for plasma collection, publicity, recruitment and testing.

The 106 room of the Wuhan blood center business center is one of the plasma donation points. It is also the director of the blood donation section, Chen Hanwei, who has 8 experienced medical staffs, including Xie Song Li, Xie Jin and Yan Lei, who spent more than a week laying out them.

In February 13th, they received the first group of rehabilitative patients. They are a pair of siblings, the elder sister Tang Liqin is 54 years old this year, relies on the person to cook the livelihood, the younger brother Tang Lijun is 49 years old this year, is a merchant in Southern China seafood market, they are also Wuhan's earliest batch of infected persons.

In January 2nd, the siblings were diagnosed. After half a month's treatment, two people recovered. During the illness, Tang Liqin saw the hardships of the medical staff and the pain of the patients every day in the news. She was very anxious. "I want to help, but I have no ability." When he learned that his plasma could help other patients, Tang Liqin hurriedly contacted his younger brother to participate in the donation.

They didn't offer blood, and everything was strange. The 40 minute donation process, Xie Jin, a blood donation department, was always comforting them. "I want them to believe me, and more importantly, to let them find a sense of pride and a sense of accomplishment." 14 days later, the good siblings completed second plasma donations.

Xie Jin left a deep impression on a father and son, a family of five infected four people, father seriously ill, and even have written a suicide note. After escaping from the devil's gate, he and his son came to donate the first time: "we have experienced the pain of this disease, so we hope to help those who are still suffering."

What makes Xie Jin more moved is that there are many doctors and nurses who donate plasma. The "covid-19 blood donation group" is a WeChat group spontaneously formed by the staff of fourth hospitals in Wuhan. All of them are those who have donated plasma in the recovery phase, and those who want to donate plasma to the new crown after recovering from isolation. Chen Hanwei, director of the blood donation center of Wuhan blood center, has been invited to join the group.

Yang Li, a member of the WeChat group, worked in the medical insurance office of the fourth hospital of Wuhan, and survived the difficult hospitalization. She signed up for plasma donation at the first time: "madam Lin Cheng, President of the hospital in Wuhan, Kim Tong Tan, Zhang Dingyu, with my department, she donated plasma in February 18th. After knowing the situation, I decided to come."

As of April 5th, the 5 blood donation points of the new blood plasma rehabilitation center of the Wuhan blood center recovered from the recovery period. A total of 597 plasma donors donated 646 convalescent patients. A total of 220800 ml of convalescent plasma were donated, of which 110 were medical workers. The 33 donors donated 2 or more convalescent plasma, of which 4 donated 3 times and 3 donated 4 times. If the treatment of a critically ill patient is roughly processed according to 200ml, these plasma can help 1104 critically ill patients regain their new life.
