Chinese medical staff

request international

medical assistance in

fighting against

COVID-19

On Jan 24, 2020, we came to Wuhan,

China, to support the local nurses

in their fight against the COVID-19

infection. We entered the Wuhan

isolation ward as the first batch of

medical aid workers from Guangdong

Province, China. The daily work

we are doing is mainly focused on

provision of oxygen, electro cardio

–

gram (ECG) monitoring, tube care,

airway management, ventilator de

–

bugging, central venous intubation,

hemodialysis care, and basic nursing

care such as disposal and disinfection.

The conditions and environment

here in Wuhan are more difficult

and extreme than we could ever

have imagined. There is a severe

shortage of protective equipment,

such as N95 respirators, face shields,

goggles, gowns, and gloves. The

goggles are made of plastic that

must be repeatedly cleaned and

sterilised in the ward, making them

difficult to see through. Due to the

need for frequent hand washing,

several of our colleagues’ hands are

covered in painful rashes. As a result

of wearing an N95 respirator for

extended periods of time and layers

of protective equipment, some nurses

now have pressure ulcers on their

ears and forehead. When wearing

a mask to speak with patients, our

voices are muted, so we have to speak

very loudly. Wearing four layers of

gloves is abnormally clumsy and does

not work—we can’t even open the

packaging bags for medical devices,

so giving patients injections is a huge

challenge. In order to save energy

and the time it takes to put on and

take off protective clothing, we avoid

eating and drinking for 2 hours before

entering the isolation ward. Often,

nurses’ mouths are covered in blisters.

Some nurses have fainted due to

hypoglycaemia and hypoxia.

In addition to the physical

exhaustion, we are also suffering

psychologically. While we are

professional nurses, we are also

human. Like everyone else, we feel

helplessness, anxiety, and fear.

Experienced nurses occasionally find

the time to comfort colleagues and

try to relieve our anxiety. But even

experienced nurses may also cry,

possibly because we do not know how

long we need to stay here and we are

the highest-risk group for COVID-19

infection. So far 1716 Chinese staff

have been infected with COVID-19

and nine of them have unfortunately

passed away. Due to an extreme

shortage of health-care professionals

in Wuhan, 14 000 nurses from across

China have voluntarily come to Wuhan

to support local medical health-care

professionals. But we need much more

help. We are asking nurses and medical

staff from countries around the world

to come to China now, to help us in

this battle.

We hope the COVID-19 epidemic will

end soon, and that person worldwide

will remain in good health.

We declare no competing interests.
