A new journey in space | Prepare for eight months. Shenzhou medical rescue team is ready!

  According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the crew of Shenzhou 14 astronauts will return to the Dongfeng landing site in shenzhou spaceship on December 4. In order to welcome their return, the Shenzhou Medical Rescue Team of the Special Medical Center of the Strategic Support Force began to prepare for the war eight months ago.

"Report to the commander, find the rescue targets No.01, No.02 and No.03, and quickly carry out the nuclear inspection."

  In the early winter, in the Shenzhou search and rescue drill field deep in the Gobi, with the order issued, three medical rescue helicopter engines roared, and 12 medical rescue detachment fighters carried medical rescue equipment, and the helicopter immediately descended from a height of 30 meters to the designated position.

  After arriving at the scene, the Shenzhou medical rescue team immediately "showed off" new technologies such as field head and neck spine protection and anti-hypothermia integrated device, hemostatic preset needle, bone marrow cavity puncture infusion system, etc.3 seconds of successful bone marrow puncture, 30 seconds of hemostatic injection and 90 seconds of spinal protection.. This is a scene in which Shenzhou Medical Rescue Team, a characteristic medical center of the strategic support forces, organized a real-life practical training exercise in response to extremely complicated conditions.

  The Special Medical Center of the Strategic Support Force undertakes the tasks of first aid before landing, evacuation after transshipment, general logistics hospital and rehabilitation after return, aiming at providing more reliable, safer and warmer medical care for astronauts. The characteristic medical center of the strategic support force gives full play to the two-wheel driving force of medical research, supports the actual medical support, organizes research and innovation, and repeatedly tests first-aid devices.

  Gu Jianwen, director of the Special Medical Center of the Strategic Support Force and captain of the Shenzhou Medical Rescue Team, said, "The first thing for medical escort flying is technology first.Strategic support force characteristic medical centerFulfilling the dual functions of medical treatment and scientific research and realizing the deep coupling between medical treatment and scientific research is not only an important way to improve the space medical support ability, but also the mission and responsibility of the characteristic medical center of the strategic support force. "

  Shenzhou medical rescue team moved thousands of miles to prepare for the battle for eight months. Starting from laying solid organizational piles, ideological piles and technical piles, in view of the special requirements of resisting low temperature, unclear vision at night and cold caused by wind in extremely cold conditions, it repeatedly discussed the night medical security strategy in cold areas, refined 13 kinds of medical treatment plans, optimized the standardized procedures for dealing with injuries, and aimed at the task characteristic system.Design low-temperature and cold-proof multifunctional gloves and a modular, information-based and integrated portable medical platform.We have compiled information management software for medical combat readiness materials, etc., improved the level of epidemic prevention and control, ensured the life, health and safety of astronauts, and made efforts to realize the transformation from receiving people to saving people, from relying on experience to outline procedures, from being able to use them accurately and reliably, from being able to use them in consultation to being conditioned, from having one’s own training to being able to use them freely, and from being reasonable to being strict.

  "The astronauts will return soon. Next, we will continue to stand on our posts and make unremitting efforts to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress.Complete the medical security task of escorting Shenzhou with high standards and high quality with the confidence to win and succeed, the courage to give up others, the technology of precise disposal and the spirit of hard work and dedication.. "Team member Dr. Zhu Ming said firmly.

Low-temperature cold-proof multifunctional gloves special for aerospace medical treatment

  The Shenzhou-14 manned spacecraft is scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site in the cold weather at night. Due to the influence of geographical conditions and climate factors, the low temperature has brought great difficulties to medical rescuers in carrying out various tasks. In order to ensure the smooth and accurate medical treatment, Shenzhou Medical Rescue Team designed and equipped the "low-temperature and cold-proof multifunctional gloves for aerospace medical treatment".

Mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  First, the warm-keeping function

  1. All indicators of gloves areComply with the "hand protection — Cold gloves (GB/T 38304-2019)People’s Republic of China (PRC) national standard,Is suitable for the climatic environment as low as-50 DEG C,Work activities that require fine operation with both hands;

  2, gloves are made of five layers of materials, the innermost is soft cotton material, to ensure the comfort of the hand, respectively outward in turn.It is provided with a retractable fiber layer, a thermal fiber layer, an antibacterial fabric layer and a waterproof and breathable fabric layer.. The metacarpophalangeal joint and thumb joint are designed with zipper respectively, and the outer layer is designed with lengthening and extension, at the same time, it has the function of self-contraction, which ensures the sealing and mobility between wrist and forearm;

  3, while giving consideration to comfort and functionality, fully consider the adaptability of special environment, and choose fabrics at the same time.It has the functions of keeping warm, preventing sand and water.;

  4. The inner layer on the back of the glove is expanded with a movable interlayer with a size of about 6×5 cm.Self-heating materials or electric heating sheets can be placed to improve the warm-keeping function..

  Second, the operation function

  1. The outer layer of gloves is provided with an integrated hook, which is used to be hung directly on clothes or bags after being taken off as a whole, so that it can be put on and carried;

  2. When hand operation is needed, the finger gloves can be partially folded backwards by unzipping the metacarpophalangeal joints and thumb joints, and fixed on the back of the hand by hook and loop, so that all fingers are exposed for fine operation, and fingers can also be retracted into the gloves for heating at any time;

  3. Thumb surface materialTouch screen designAnd ensures the accuracy of instrument operation under the condition of finger tip skin covering;

  4. Outside the waterproof and breathable fabric layer on the palm sideIncrease anti-skid and resistance materialsTo ensure the stability and comfort of lifting, handling or grasping.
