After The Outbreak, The First-Line Use Of Blood Is In Short Supply In Wuhan

In the second stage of "continuous blood epidemic prevention and control" in Wuhan, a variety of measures were taken to prevent and control the epidemic.

After the outbreak, the clinical use of blood is still facing great pressure.

After entering September, affected by the early epidemic situation, flood situation and high temperature weather, there is still a big gap in blood collection volume of street blood donation points compared with the same period last year, and there is a certain gap in blood collection and supply in Wuhan.

"With the gradual recovery of the normal medical order in Wuhan, the number of outpatients and inpatients with non new crown pneumonia is increasing. The average daily blood demand of the hospital has risen to about 200000 ml per day, that is to say, about 800 people need to participate in voluntary blood donation every day." On September 15, the relevant person in charge of Wuhan Blood Center said in an interview with 21st century economic reporter that the epidemic situation has entered the stage of normal prevention and control, and the clinical blood consumption has been increasing day by day. In the "second battlefield" of Wuhan blood defense war, Wuhan blood center has taken the lead in blood donation, group blood donation, door-to-door service and line We are waiting for a variety of measures to strengthen science popularization.

On July 4, 2020, Wuhan blood center and Hubei Jingshi organized a large-scale public blood donation activity into Hankou north. More than 500 caring people lined up to donate blood. People's vision

Take measures at the same time

On September 11, Chen Hanwei, director of component blood donation Department of Wuhan blood center, completed her 34th blood donation. On this day, she wants to use blood donation to complete the curtain call of her career - this is her last working day before retirement and her 60th birthday. According to the national blood donation age limit, this is her last participation in unpaid blood donation.

In the hearts of many blood donors, Chen Hanwei is their main motivation for long-term blood donation. "There is the best blood donation service in China," said Jin Gaofeng, President of the national 5A public welfare organization "Golden Rainbow public welfare", who once explained the original intention of volunteers from other places to donate blood in Han Dynasty.

The epidemic has disrupted the normal blood supply, superimposed on the delayed outbreak of medical demand, Wuhan front-line blood demand is increasing day by day. "In order to dispel the concerns of blood donors, our center has thought of many ways to make blood donors feel at home." The person in charge told reporters that from August 8, in order to facilitate blood donors, some street blood donation points in Wuhan blood center delayed the operation time and officially opened the "night mode" of blood donation. Among them, Jiali square blood donation house and Xunlimen m + square blood donation vehicle are the last two blood donation points in Wuhan, running from 10:30 to 21:00 every day.

On the other hand, after entering August, a group of caring units and medical staff who still stick to their posts are also relaying to ensure blood supply: on August 19, in order to welcome the third "Chinese doctor's Day", Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) hospital and Wuhan blood center jointly organized a group blood donation activity. These "anti epidemic warriors" once again devoted their love and blood in their own festival; 8 On August 21, Wuhan Metro organized the third group blood donation since the outbreak of the epidemic; on August 26, the third season of "angel in white blood donation month" opened, and more than 200 medical staff from various private medical institutions in Wuchang District of Wuhan city rushed to gather in "hot blood"; on August 28, from the Health Bureau of Wuchang District, three public health institutions and 17 community health service centers under the Bureau Blood donors formed a long line of warm blood, and 106 blood donors were successful.

In order to further popularize the knowledge of blood donation, Wuhan blood center has also cooperated with hydrogen community to build "Wuhan blood youth Digital Science Museum", which has become an important part of this year's national science and technology week. Since the launch of wechat app on June 14, the total number of visitors has exceeded 640000, and more than 100000 people have subscribed and shared. Among them, the most popular among users are "cartoon Science Popularization" and "blood knowledge". Through the form of easy-to-understand comics, teenagers can understand blood fluid, and then turn blood knowledge into small knowledge that can be quickly spread through various forms such as video and moving pictures.

Through the above efforts, by the middle of September, Wuhan had nearly 90000 blood donors with a total of nearly 30 tons.

Focus on "panda blood"

At the same time, the "panda blood", which is known as rare blood group, has always been a difficulty in blood supply guarantee.

The distribution of Rh negative blood varies greatly with race. The proportion of Rh negative blood in Caucasians is relatively high, about 15%, while in Asian people, only 0.3%, belongs to rare blood group, so it is called "panda blood". According to the estimation of Wuhan blood center, there are about 30000 rare blood groups in Jiangcheng according to the population proportion.

Since 2002, Wuhan blood center took the lead in establishing the "rare blood group association" in China, now called "rare blood group love home". It is a voluntary mutual aid organization formed by RH negative blood group donors in Wuhan area. At present, it has developed to more than 800 people, including not only QQ group and wechat group, but also regular activities.

"It's convenient for us to get in touch with each other in Wuhan. It's very convenient for you to get in touch with each other. There are more than 100 people in our group, all of them are panda blood donors like me. " Zhang Mina, a Shaanxi native who has lived in Wuhan for many years, said in an interview that since she was 20 years old that she was a rare blood group, she had a sense of responsibility that she needed. She would pay more attention to her body at ordinary times. She would arrange 2-3 sports runs for herself every week. "It is very meaningful to know more about the improvement of one's own immunity after the epidemic.

Pan Hong gave her blood for the first time in 2012, the day before her birthday. At that time, I was worried that I was born with a rare blood type in 2008. Later, I joined the family of rare blood type love. I would donate blood twice a year. Since my first blood donation, I realized that I was helping myself

Later, I learned that he would donate blood every two months, because he would donate blood every two months

Zhang Mina recalled her experience of blood donation during the epidemic, and she still has a deep feeling: "at that time, doctors from the blood center sent us a group of text messages, saying that the clinical use of blood was in urgent need. If the conditions for whole blood donation were met, they would arrange vehicles to pick them up. Because every day at home we hear the sound of ambulances on the empty road outside, but we can't do anything about it. So at that time, especially in the car of blood center, I felt that I could contribute a little bit, and my heart would be very warm. "

Pan Hong also made a retrograde donation of blood at the worst of the epidemic on February 19. "At that time, it was because many patients with new crown pneumonia needed panda blood. When the blood center sent a car to pick me up, I was very sad to see the scene of Wuhan empty city, but I was happy to do a very meaningful thing."

The donors of rare blood groups all showed a common calm. They have been practicing in silence, when the front-line clinical needs blood, as long as the interval is over, they will actively participate in it, regardless of how far they live or how busy they are.

"If we are in good health, we can support the blood supply as much as we can. Maybe in the future, our families and children will change because of this." Pan Hong sighed to the reporter.

According to the data in 2019, since its establishment, the "family of rare blood types" has donated 14808 people and 4486600 ml of blood, with an annual increase of about 8%. On average, there are four "panda heroes" participating in blood donation every day, effectively ensuring the blood demand of patients with clinical diseases.

It can be foreseen that in the second half of 2020, the situation of voluntary blood donation in Wuhan will still present the situation of large demand and heavy security tasks. "We will continue to ensure the blood demand of medical institutions in our city, and constantly improve the emergency support capacity of clinical blood supply in response to major public health events." The person in charge added.
