Since the first round of nucleic acid testing for all employees in Xintai City was launched on March 13, Xintai City has become the city’s new crown pneumonia nucleic acid The designated testing institution, the Laboratory Department of Xintai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, immediately entered a “fighting” state to determine scientific testing strategies, standardize the disposal process of positive samples, strengthen the quality control of nucleic acid testing, standardize laboratory biosafety and medical waste disposal, etc. In order to ensure the accurate and accurate completion of nucleic acid testing with high quality and quantity, it is necessary for staff to stay on duty 24 hours a day and machines to stay on for 24 hours.
From that day on, the staff of the laboratory began to work three shifts, 24 hours of continuous rotation, and did not go home for ten days… quietly pressed the “accelerate” button. key”, they ran around the laboratory day and night, silently guarding the safety of one party at the position closest to the virus.
In the 10 days from the night of March 13 to March 23, the Laboratory Department of Xintai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital completed a total of 200,000 nucleic acid tests in the city detection task. During the period, the inspection department also undertook the nucleic acid testing work of 42,000 people who came to the hospital for inspection and inspection, and completed a large-scale nucleic acid test of 25,000 people within an average of 24 hours. According to the previous 20:1 mixed mining mode, about 10,000 tubes must be tested in each round, which is a huge challenge.
However, the inspectors of Xintai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital rose to the challenge and resolutely completed the task without delaying the daily inspection work of the hospital. Everyone could not even guarantee 8 hours of rest every day. Under the intensity, high pressure, and high risk, no one in the general department complained of distress, and no one retreated and left behind.
Nucleic acid detection needs to go through a series of processes such as collection, specimen receipt, specimen entry, specimen pretreatment, and subsequent preparation of reagents, sample addition, nucleic acid extraction, and on-board amplification. Fine work needs to be very careful, and a slight deviation will affect the detection time and results.
In order to improve the testing speed and testing quality, the inspection department continuously summarizes the plan, optimizes the process according to the actual situation, carries out refined post management, forms streamlined operations, and continuously learns biosafety, nucleic acid, etc. detection and other related knowledge.
During high-intensity work, they wore full protective suits and sat in the laboratory for six or seven hours. Because of overwork, many people suffered from backache and backache, but in order to hold the loading sample for thousands of times The hands of the instrument do not tremble, and some plaster is applied to relieve the pain. Because it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to put on and take off a set of protective clothing, and the protective clothing is a one-time use, it can only be replaced with a new one. In order to save time and save the protective clothing, they insist on not drinking water or going to the toilet during work. . Under the heavy protection, they couldn’t see who they were; on the other end of the test report sheet, they didn’t know who they were. They silently coordinate and coordinate scientifically and reasonably in their respective positions, skillfully and coherently operate skills and continuously fight day and night. In the place closest to the virus, in the test results that thousands of people are waiting for, on the battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, we will never back down.
