求助信全文：Chinese medical staff  request international  medical assistance in  fighting against COVID-19

汉语译文：

中国医务人员要求国际医疗援助以抗击COVID-19的呼吁信

2020年1月24日，我们来到中国武汉，支持当地护士们与COVID-19症作战斗。我们是进入了武汉隔离病房作为第一批

来自中国的广东省医务工作者。日常工作是这样的：我们正在做的主要集中在提供氧气，心电图（ECG）监测，管子护理，呼

吸道管理，呼吸机故障排除，中央静脉插管血液透析护理和基础护理，诸如处置和消毒之类的护理。

条件和环境在武汉这里比较困难比我们以往任何想象的都坏。有严重的防护设备短缺，例如N95防毒口罩，面罩，的护目镜，礼服和手套。护目镜是用塑料制成的，必须在病房里反复清洗和消毒，使视线模糊，很难看透。因为需要经常洗手，我们的几个同事的手是覆盖在痛苦的皮疹中。结果是长时间佩戴N95防毒面具及使用多层防护用品，现在一些护士耳朵和额头出现压疮

。

当戴着穿着口罩与患者交谈时，我们的声音被静音，所以我们必须大声说话。戴着四层手套异常不方便，并且不能工作

——我们甚至无法打开医疗器械包装袋，所以给病人打针是一种巨大的挑战。为了节省以及佩戴和脱掉防护服的时间，我们在进入隔离病房之前，避免进食和饮水达2小时之久。经常，护士的嘴被水泡覆盖。

一些护士因低血糖和缺氧而晕倒。除了身体精疲力尽，我们也在心理上受苦。我们是专业护士，但我们也是人。像其他所有人一样，我们感到无助，焦虑和恐惧。经验丰富的护士们偶尔会抽时间去安慰同事和设法减轻我们的焦虑。但是，即使经验丰富的护士也可能会哭泣，可能是因为我们不知道需要留在这里多长的时间，而且我们是罹患COVID-19感染的最高风险人群。到目前为止1716名中国医护人员已经感染了COVID-19，其中有九个不幸去世了。由于极端缺乏卫生保健专业人员，来自中国各地的14000名护士自愿来到武汉，支持当地的医疗保健专业人士。但是我们还需要更多协助。

我们在呼吁世界各国的护士和医疗人员前来中国，协助我们打赢这场战斗。我们希望COVID-19流行病能够尽快结束，希望全世界的人们将保持健康。我们声明彼此之间没有利益冲突。

 “要扫除一切害人虫”（毛主席墨宝）

[Mark Wain 2020-02-27]

Original English text:

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, electrocardio-gram (ECG) monitoring, tube care, airway management, ventilator de-bugging, central venous intubation, haemodialysis 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 people worldwide will remain in good health.

We declare no competing interests.
