Fire prevention management and practice of data room in hospital / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To explore the fire prevention management to ensure the operating of the data room in the hospital. Methods The hidden risks in the fire prevention of the data room were pointed out in auto fire fighting system,precision air-conditioning equipment, UPS and battery pack, compatibilization and expansion, high-voltage power supply circuit, lightningproof grounding and etc.It's indicated that the maintenance staff had deficiency in mastering related knowledge on gas fire-extinguishing system.Results The maintenance had to be strengthened for the auto fire fighting system,precision air-conditioning equipment,UPS and battery pack,and the detection should be reinforced for the high-voltage power supply circuit and lightningproof grounding system. It's suggested that standardized construction be executed during data room compatibilization and expansion,corresponding management system be established,and the knowledge be mastered on the composition,operation and announcements.Conclusion The fire prevention management of the data room is enhanced in the hospital,and the hidden risks are eliminated for fire fighting.

A descriptive analysis of injury triage, surge of medical demand, and resource use in an university hospital after 8.12 Tianjin Port Explosion, China / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The 8.12 Tianjin Port Explosion in 2015 caused heavy casualties. Pingjin Hospital, an affiliated college hospital in Tianjin, China participated in the rescue activities. This study aims to analyze the emergency medical response to this event and share experience with trauma physicians to optimize the use of medical resource and reduce mortality of critical patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>As a trauma centre at the accident city, our hospital treated 298 patients. We retrospectively analyzed the data of emergency medical response, including injury triage, injury type, ICU patient flow, and medical resource use.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were totally 165 deaths, 8 missing, and 797 non-fatal injuries in this explosion. Our hospital treated 298 casualties in two surges of medical demand. The first one appeared at 1 h after explosion when 147 wounded were received and the second one at 4 h when 31 seriously injured patients were received, among whom 29 were transferred from Tianjin Emergency Center which was responsible for the scene injury triage. After reexamination and triage, only 11 cases were defined as critical ill patients. The over-triage rate reached as high as 62.07%. Seventeen patients underwent surgery and 17 patients were admitted to the intensive care unit.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The present pre-hospital system is incomplete and may induce two surges of medical demand. The first one has a much larger number of casualties than predicted but the injury level is mild; while the second one has less wounded but almost all of them are critical patients. The over-triage rate is high. The hospital emergency response can be improved by an effective re-triage and implementation of a hospital-wide damage control.</p>
