Qiu Haibo, member of the expert team sent to Hubei for the battle against the novel coronavirus epidemic or COVID-19 by the central government, has been honored a model of the times by the publicity department of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee. Qiu is also a critical care specialist with Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University.
Qiu Haibo has been given the provincial honor of a model of the times by the publicity department.
At the award-giving ceremony held on Tuesday in Nanjing, Zhao Jian, Qiu Haibo's wife, took the certificate and medal from Wang Zeshan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and winner of the provincial honor of a model of the times.
Qiu Haibo is still dealing with the treatment of the severe cases of coronavirus infection in Wuhan.
When arriving in Wuhan more than 50 days ago, Qiu Haibo found that the number of severe cases increased rapidly every day, but the doctors had met with the severe shortage of beds in the critically care wards.
Qiu Haibo suggested that there should be an increase in the number of designated hospitals for the centralized treatment of critically ill patients and hospital beds for critically ill patients. His suggestion was soon adopted by the special work group sent to Hubei by the central government.
During his stay in Wuhan, Qiu Haibo would visit three or four hospitals in one day to inspect the treatment of the critically ill patients and give targeted diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
In the intensive care unit, Qiu Haibo is not only an expert with the expert team but also a clinical doctor. He and his colleagues have tried their best to look for breakthroughs in treatment and diagnosis of the critically ill patients.
Every day, Qiu Haibo would run around among the intensive care hospitals. In the extreme case, he stayed in the "red zone" of the intensive care hospital for five hours without eating or drinking.
Qiu Haibo is hailed by the society as he said ICU doctors are born for critically ill patients.
When interviewed in Wuhan, he said he is pleased to see that many critically ill patients have taken a turn for the better with their symptoms mitigated and more ICU beds are vacant.
As China’s first doctor of critical care medicine, Qiu Haibo took the lead in creating and developing the discipline of "critical care medicine". He has trained a 100-member national elite medical staff of critical care medicine for Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University. Today, Qiu Haibo's team has sent six batches of doctors and nurses to Hubei to fight against the epidemic.
