Recently, the Xinfadi First Aid Station in Fengtai District received a task from the dispatch center. An 80-year-old man suddenly felt unwell and said that he had chest tightness and shortness of breath and needed treatment. The crew went to the patient by an ambulance quickly after receiving the mission.

On the way, the doctor asked about the patient's condition and learned that he had a basic medical history and suffered from asthma due to climate change. The doctor called the family to instruct them to use home equipment to help the patient inhale oxygen. Let the patient sit upright, soothe the patient's emotions and eliminate the fear. After the ambulance arrived at the scene, the medical staff treated the patient immediately, measured the vital signs, and performed electrocardiogram examinations. After a few minutes, the patient's asthma was significantly relieved, and the medical staff immediately transferred the patient to the ambulance. The driver drove quickly to the hospital while ensuring safety, saving more treatment time for the patient. After arriving at the hospital, the emergency staff immediately communicated the condition with the receiving doctor, so that the patient could pass through the dangerous period and receive treatment smoothly.
