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

漢語譯文：

中國醫務人員要求國際醫療援助以抗擊COVID-19的呼籲信

2020年1月24日，我們來到中國武漢，支持當地護士們與COVID-19症作戰鬥。我們是進入了武漢隔離病房作為第一批

來自中國的廣東省醫務工作者。日常工作是這樣的：我們正在做的主要集中在提供氧氣，心電圖（ECG）監測，管子護理，呼

吸道管理，呼吸機故障排除，中央靜脈插管血液透析護理和基礎護理，諸如處置和消毒之類的護理。

條件和環境在武漢這裡比較困難比我們以往任何想象的都壞。有嚴重的防護設備短缺，例如N95防毒口罩，面罩，的護目鏡，禮服和手套。護目鏡是用塑料製成的，必須在病房裡反覆清洗和消毒，使視線模糊，很難看透。因為需要經常洗手，我們的幾個同事的手是覆蓋在痛苦的皮疹中。結果是長時間佩戴N95防毒面具及使用多層防護用品，現在一些護士耳朵和額頭出現壓瘡

。

當戴着穿着口罩與患者交談時，我們的聲音被靜音，所以我們必須大聲說話。戴着四層手套異常不方便，並且不能工作

——我們甚至無法打開醫療器械包裝袋，所以給病人打針是一種巨大的挑戰。為了節省以及佩戴和脫掉防護服的時間，我們在進入隔離病房之前，避免進食和飲水達2小時之久。經常，護士的嘴被水泡覆蓋。

一些護士因低血糖和缺氧而暈倒。除了身體精疲力盡，我們也在心理上受苦。我們是專業護士，但我們也是人。像其他所有人一樣，我們感到無助，焦慮和恐懼。經驗豐富的護士們偶爾會抽時間去安慰同事和設法減輕我們的焦慮。但是，即使經驗豐富的護士也可能會哭泣，可能是因為我們不知道需要留在這裡多長的時間，而且我們是罹患COVID-19感染的最高風險人群。到目前為止1716名中國醫護人員已經感染了COVID-19，其中有九個不幸去世了。由於極端缺乏衛生保健專業人員，來自中國各地的14000名護士自願來到武漢，支持當地的醫療保健專業人士。但是我們還需要更多協助。

我們在呼籲世界各國的護士和醫療人員前來中國，協助我們打贏這場戰鬥。我們希望COVID-19流行病能夠儘快結束，希望全世界的人們將保持健康。我們聲明彼此之間沒有利益衝突。

 “要掃除一切害人蟲”（毛主席墨寶）

[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.
