Chapter 430 Affordable Air 120
"The cadres and masses of the county acted quickly, organized emergency rescue and disaster relief, dispatched three transport helicopters, provided support to many disaster areas, and evacuated and transferred the masses in a timely manner."

"The rescue process was very successful. All the injured people were transferred to the county hospital in time. More than a dozen seriously injured people even received temporary first aid on the plane. After being treated in the hospital, they were all out of crisis..."

Wei Kang turned on the TV, which happened to be broadcasting a news about emergency rescue and disaster relief. He couldn't help staring at the scene of emergency rescue by helicopter.

If he remembered correctly, half a month ago, the Southern Military Region ordered a batch of military medical all-in-one machines from Sanqing.

It seems that this batch of equipment showed its talents in the mudslide disaster and rescued many seriously injured people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Suddenly, the phone buzzed on the sofa.

At first glance, it turned out to be Dean Yin.

Wei Kang turned down the volume of the TV and answered the phone: "Hi, Dean Yin, hello."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Wei, did you see the mudslide in Gui Province yesterday? Sanqing's first aid equipment has made great contributions to this disaster relief operation. Thanks to the first aid kit, all seriously injured With timely treatment, the injury did not deteriorate, and he was rescued immediately."

Dean Yin's voice was full of excitement: "I want to express my sincere thanks to you, thank you so much."

Wei Kang said quickly: "Don't say that, it should be, I am also very honored that Sanqing's equipment can save so many people in the disaster and play an important role."

Dean Yin's voice became serious: "The headquarters was shocked when they saw the rescue report, and they also attached great importance to it. You know, in the past, our helicopters were mainly used to transport the wounded in large quantities. Except for stretchers, there were only It is equipped with a small amount of medical equipment, and generally does not carry out more complicated en-route rescue.”

"This time the transport plane was equipped with emergency medical equipment, and it was also with the idea of ​​trying. I never expected that the effect would be so outstanding. It played the role of a professional rescue helicopter, and even exceeded it, because the number of people carried by the rescue helicopter is limited. There were only two or three people, but the transport helicopter could save a dozen people at once."

"The effect of such a comparison is very obvious. Therefore, the major headquarters urgently held a meeting and planned to equip all the transport helicopters with first aid kits as soon as possible. In this way, if there is any danger, more injured people can be treated."

Speaking of this, there was a sense of worry in his words: "Especially in the last few months, it is almost summer. In this time period of previous years, disasters will occur one after another in various places, such as mudslides, floods, etc., are very common. , have to guard against."

"We must arm ourselves as soon as possible and prepare for emergency rescue and disaster relief."

Wei Kang immediately agreed: "No problem, as many sets as you want, I will ask the supplier to supply them as soon as possible. This is a matter of life and death, and we must not neglect it."

"However," he suddenly remembered something: "Except for the monitor and the color Doppler ultrasound, the other four devices have not yet obtained the device registration certificate. I don't know if there will be problems in mass sales."

"Hehe," Dean Yin smiled suddenly: "You don't have to worry about this, we will apply to the health authority for the reason of major public health emergencies, requesting emergency use during disaster relief, this is in line with regulations, should be no problem."

Only then did Wei Kang heave a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's good."

In this way, the problem of registration approval is completely solved.

Moreover, according to regulations, the Food and Drug Administration can make conditional approvals for medical devices that are urgently needed for public health events.

Even after the disaster, Sanqing's first aid kits can obtain a registration certificate and be used in such occasions as emergency rescue.

Of course, this is a subsidiary condition, but after a period of time, it can be considered to meet the requirements of clinical trials, which is enough to prove the safety and effectiveness of these medical devices.

At that time, you can submit supporting documents, remove the additional conditions, and then officially go on sale.

Therefore, although it may still take a year to fully obtain the registration certificate, it will not affect his sales in the middle.

It's just that it can only be sold to the military or hospitals at the beginning for emergency rescue.

It's not a big problem, Wei Kang thought to himself, and then he remembered the matter of civilian use, so he asked.

"President Yin, there is another matter. When we signed the agreement, because it was customized by the military, there was a confidentiality clause."

"But recently some hospitals are also very interested in these devices, and they also want to use them in emergency rescue, so if they are used by civilians, do you have any opinions?"

Dean Yin was a little surprised at first: "There are hospitals that have taken a fancy to this medical all-in-one machine so soon? It seems that they have had an idea a long time ago. It is really a hero who sees the same thing."

He couldn't help laughing, as if he felt a little proud of his idea of ​​being one step ahead.

"Don't worry, our confidentiality conditions only involve the research and development stage. Now Sanqing has already produced finished products, and all major military regions have used them, so it doesn't matter whether it is confidential or not."

Dean Yin replied happily: "Actually, I'm ashamed to say that these devices are all the research results of Sanqing. We really didn't help much, that is, we made a request, and then you took out the prototype. I still don't know what to do. Didn't react."

"So I don't have any objection to the civilian use. Sanqing can be sold as much as you want. Anyway, it is used to treat patients."

Wei Kang smiled slightly: "That's good."

The two chatted for a while before ending the call.

Sure enough, orders from the three major military regions came flying in like snowflakes.

Even the central and western military regions followed suit and placed orders one after another.

Because summer is the season with the worst natural disasters and the most frequent warnings, in the past four years, there have been more than 11 summer warnings across the country, accounting for half of the annual warnings.

From June to August, the risk of natural disasters across the country will increase significantly, the most common of which are geological disasters such as heavy rain, high temperature, typhoon, earthquake and mudslides.

In order to deal with these intricate and various disasters, aviation medical rescue is the most effective way.

Regrettably, almost all domestic aviation medical rescues are carried out by transport helicopters of the military and armed police, as well as the sea area salvage and rescue flight teams of the transportation department, and few private forces such as enterprises are involved.

Compared with foreign countries, this gap is quite large.

Not only is the number of rescue aircraft relatively small, the aviation rescue system is imperfect, and there is also a lack of professional aviation rescue teams.

Although the helicopters of the major military regions play a key role in rescue and disaster relief, they are not specialized in this kind of thing after all. They have limited experience and equipment. It was not until this time that the configuration was strengthened at the epic level that they fully exerted their strength. .

They must work harder and be prepared for the high incidence of natural disasters.

The risk of flood disasters is high in the central and western regions, there are many typhoon warnings in the eastern coastal areas, geological disasters may occur in many places in the south, and there are forest fires and droughts in the north.

In short, in the past three months, the nerves of all departments across the country have been tense, for fear of any omissions that may lead to heavy casualties.

******
Jiangsu Province, Ning City People's Hospital.

Dean Zhang Aiping has been staring at the phone for half an hour.

"On the 10th, a catastrophic flood occurred in De City, Hunan Province. Fortunately, helicopters were dispatched to evacuate dozens of wounded and sick. They received timely treatment on the plane and soon turned to safety."

"It is reported that this time the military helicopter is equipped with Sanqing's emergency equipment box, which is equipped with portable defibrillator, respirator, monitor, injection pump and other equipment, which can provide emergency treatment for the wounded and sick in need on the plane. .”

"On the 15th, a mudslide disaster occurred in Panzhi City, Sichuan Province. The military dispatched helicopter rescue. The wounded were treated by Sanqing first-aid equipment on the plane, and there were no casualties."

……

Zhang Aiping couldn't help frowning after seeing several disaster relief news in succession.

However, he quickly discovered one thing keenly, that is, in these incidents, military helicopters were dispatched for emergency rescue.

But the strange thing is that according to news reports, these helicopters are just ordinary transport helicopters, which have not been modified and can only transport a large number of wounded. Logically, it is impossible to provide pre-hospital treatment for patients on the plane.

"Sanqing's first aid kit? Portable medical equipment? It seems to be the reason."

After watching for a long time, he finally realized this.

An inexplicable idea popped up suddenly, giving him an urge to know more.

So, he immediately called Sanqing's customer service number and asked.

The customer service told him very politely that this is a first aid equipment box developed by Sanxin, which is equipped with six types of portable medical equipment, which can be used for emergency medical rescue by helicopter, and this is the one used by the military.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the confirmed news, and what made him even more happy was that this device has been registered and filed, and the hospital can purchase it directly.

However, for the time being, it can only be used on helicopters and ambulances for emergency rescue.

After thinking about it, Zhang Aiping realized that it must have just been developed and has not yet been approved, so it can only be sold conditionally.

But he didn't care, the hospital didn't lack these equipments, and they must be bought for use in aviation emergency rescue.

Soon the call was transferred to the sales office of the equipment company, and a salesperson provided a quotation. The whole set was about 30 yuan. Except for one color Doppler ultrasound, the quantity of other equipment can be customized.

Zhang Aiping was overjoyed immediately, the price was a bit beyond his expectation, and even felt a bit too cheap.

Generally speaking, if a helicopter with tens of millions of dollars is to be converted into a medical rescue, it needs to be equipped with a series of life support equipment. A complete set of modification will cost about 300 million, which is quite expensive.

Sanqing's first-aid kit is only one-tenth of the price, but it can provide almost all functions, except stretchers, first-aid kits, and oxygen cylinders, which need to be prepared by themselves, which is simply too cost-effective.

The 30 medical equipment is considered small equipment. As the dean, he can make a decision, so he immediately made a decision and ordered a set.

The next step is to proceed to the next step.

He quickly found the number of a well-known local general aviation company and dialed it.

General aviation is different from civil aviation. It refers to some companies that have purchased aircraft to engage in commercial aviation activities. They are generally relatively small, and they mainly buy small aircraft or helicopters.

However, they operate a wide range of businesses, including operational flights in industry, agriculture, forestry, fishery and construction, as well as flight activities in medical and health care, emergency rescue and relief, weather detection, ocean monitoring, scientific experiments, education and training, culture and sports.

"Manager Li, I am a hospital here, and I would like to ask how much is the minimum price for an hour for a long-term rental of a light helicopter of about 2 tons?"

Manager Li's answer was very tactful: "That's right. If it's a hospital, you need to rent a helicopter and make corresponding modifications. The price will be a bit more expensive, about tens of thousands of yuan an hour, depending on the model... "

Before finishing speaking, Zhang Aiping interrupted: "We don't need to modify, everything is business as usual, you can usually lease it out for other businesses, as long as we have an aircraft available when we need it."

Manager Li was stunned for a moment: "I'm afraid this is not possible. Medical rescue must be equipped with corresponding medical equipment."

"No, we bring our own portable first aid kit, don't worry about that."

The other party said suspiciously: "In this case, the price is the same as that of ordinary commercial leases. I will send you a quotation soon."

Zhang Aiping said: "We are a long-term lease, please be sure to give the lowest price, and we are used for medical emergencies, you can also apply for national rescue subsidies, although it is only 600 yuan, but after a year, it is not too little. "

Manager Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem, these will all be taken into consideration."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Aiping was determined.

He had already done his homework, as long as he didn't modify professional medical equipment, the price of renting a helicopter was actually not that expensive.

Next, just wait and ask a few more to determine the final price.

Over the years, he has long wanted to start air medical rescue, but the price has not been kept down, no patient is willing to pay, and the business volume is not large if relying on insurance alone, so he put it on hold for the time being.

This time, I saw that Sanqing released the special first aid equipment box for the helicopter, so I wanted to give it a try and see if the price could be lowered after removing the medical equipment and modifying it.

If the price can be reduced to four digits, then Air 120 can really enter the homes of ordinary people, so that most people can afford it, and it is no longer just a patent for the rich.

Air medical rescue can minimize the death rate and disease sequelae of patients during emergency rescue and transfer, and has an irreplaceable role in land rescue.

According to medical statistics, 70% of seriously injured people will die within 30 minutes, and the best time for treatment is within 15 minutes of serious injury or onset.

If the injured get effective treatment within 15 minutes, the survival rate can reach 80%.

If the location of the seriously injured person is beyond the reach of ground ambulances, only aeromedical ambulance can provide rescue to the patient within 15 minutes.

Even when the injured are within reach of an ambulance, most ambulances cannot function as rescue helicopters.

One is the distance. The ambulance drove for an hour, and the helicopter arrived in ten minutes.

And even if the patient is already in the ambulance, first aid is a very weak link.

Although 120 seems to be popular now, but in fact 120 is a high-end taxi, and what it can do is very limited.

In other words, if you are not breathing well, you can take some basic measures such as inhaling oxygen, administering drips or epinephrine, doing CPR, and fixing the injured position.

In the unfortunate event that an ordinary ambulance is encountered, and the heartbeat or breathing stops unfortunately, in addition to praying for CPR and artificial respiration to be rescued, it is possible to go to the hospital emergency room for defibrillation and ventilator within three to five minutes.

Because defibrillators and ventilators are not the standard equipment of 120 ambulances, only B-type ambulances are equipped with these first aid facilities that ordinary people think they should have.

Public places vigorously promote the configuration of the AED, and the result is that even the 120 is not standard.

Moreover, domestic urbanization is developing too fast, and road traffic planning cannot keep up, resulting in extremely easy traffic jams.

These reasons have undoubtedly greatly restricted the efficiency of the ambulance which is not high at all.

Therefore, at the critical moment, it is still the helicopter that can save a life and grab the seriously injured patient back from the dead door.

Next, Zhang Aiping called several general aviation companies and got five or six quotations.

Opening the quotations and comparing them in detail, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
