Interview with Dr. Chihiro Hasegawa, Tobu Medical Center, who treats new coronavirus infectious diseases

Q.What is important to reduce the anxiety of staff involved in corona medical care? A. The most important thing is to listen to (the staff). It's been a year since the coronavirus started, but the first week was the most important, and I found time at that time to stay in that ward even if I didn't have to. I kept telling them that I would be there (in the ward) and that if anything happened, I would answer them, and that this was the best way to prevent infection. (Staff) I asked them to write down things they were unsure about or things they didn't understand in a notebook. ICN crushed all of that (things I was worried about and doubts about) and explained everything about my dissatisfaction and anxiety. A psychiatrist at the city university told me that it was important to expose a lot of anxiety, and after about a week everyone got used to it and enjoyed working normally. When I tried to make the HCU a new ward for severe infections, the exact same thing happened. While solving everything on the spot, I asked them to write in a notebook, and I answered all of them. (Work) is a habit, so if you get used to it, you will be able to work normally, so expose a lot and get used to it. I worked with the belief that it was important to be close to them so that if they had any concerns or dissatisfaction, they would be able to resolve them.

New coronavirus infection medical treatment Interview with Dr. Chihiro Hasegawa, Tobu Medical Center</p><p>Q.What kind of teacher is in charge of COVID-19? A.In the beginning of February 2nd year of Reiwa, we had two doctors, including myself, and when it became difficult for two people, it was fixed for a month and a half. We had doctors from other departments come to us for about a month, and as we did so, the number of doctors who were accustomed to it gradually increased. It was around the end of October that I began to revolve around those people. In that case, it would be better to have an experienced doctor become the primary doctor, and that would play a central role in training the next doctor. I think. If we start by assigning patients to different departments, the hospital's treatment policy will not work well, and it will be difficult to know who to consult. It worked fine in my way.</p><p>Q.To what extent are you asking staff to refrain from their daily lives, and to what extent are you actually implementing them? A.We have a lot of staff, so we have no choice but to trust everyone. However, as a medical worker, as a medical worker, I will properly follow the general rules as a medical worker, such as not traveling across prefectures, asking people not to go to crowded places, and not eating out. I'm just announcing that please. I haven't checked. Hundreds of people can't.</p><p>Q.Regarding ECMO at Eastern Medical Center A.There is ECMO, but it is not done. There are still few experienced teachers. In March 2020, when there was a person who needed ECMO, we had an ECMO Net teacher come from Tokyo, introduce it at our hospital, and put it in an ambulance and transport it to Tokyo. The top doctor of ECMO Net came and said that there was no reason why he could not do it if he saw the movement of Ns and ME here, but the anesthesiology department did not say yes. In December of the second year of Reiwa, when there were many patients, there was something that I really had to do, but I didn't do it. I thought it might be a chance to increase my experience. People who are likely to become ECMO are sent to Meidai, Tosei, or Fujita.</p></div></p>
