Recently, the Yuegezhuang Emergency Medical Team of the Beijing 120 Fengtai Sub-center received an urgent dispatch: a 58-year-old woman on a high-speed train had suddenly suffered gastrointestinal bleeding and required immediate emergency treatment. A life-saving race against time quickly began.
After receiving the dispatch order, the emergency team responded rapidly and acted decisively. Carrying professional emergency equipment and medications, they rushed to the designated platform and waited for the train’s arrival, ensuring seamless coordination throughout the process. At 10:55 a.m., the train arrived on schedule. Doctor Zhang boarded the train immediately and quickly assessed the patient’s condition. The patient appeared pale and weak, with symptoms including vomiting blood and black stools. Although her vital signs were temporarily stable, she needed to be transferred to a specialized hospital for further treatment without delay.
To seize every possible moment for treatment, Nurse Zhao Meng worked closely with railway staff to efficiently complete patient positioning, vital-sign monitoring, and intravenous access preparation. Driver Wang Qiang and stretcher-bearer Liu Jie carefully transferred the patient onto the stretcher, ensuring both safety and comfort. During transportation, emergency personnel continuously monitored the patient’s blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs, while documenting her condition and remaining fully prepared for any sudden changes.
The patient was then transferred into the ambulance, and the pre-hospital and in-hospital coordination mechanism was immediately activated. While continuing oxygen support and monitoring, the team sped toward the hospital and communicated the patient’s condition and emergency information to the receiving department in advance. This helped secure valuable time for precise follow-up treatment and maximized the patient’s chances of survival.
This emergency transfer vividly demonstrated the efficient coordination between Beijing 120 and the railway authorities in handling sudden medical emergencies. From dispatch reception and on-site treatment to patient transfer and hospital handoff, every step was orderly and closely connected, fully showcasing the emergency team’s rapid response capabilities and professional expertise. It also reflected the emergency care principle of “life first, every second counts,” highlighting the responsibility and dedication of multiple departments working together to protect public health and safety.
