As the backbone for the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), nurses have been playing key roles in cabin hospitals, isolation wards, and intensive care units for critical cases. Anesthesia nurses have their own professional specialties, such as airway management, the use and maintenance of life support equipment, including ventilators, and the use of high-flow oxygen equipment. With rich experience in emergency responses and nursing, anesthesia nurses, along with emergency nurses and critical care nurses, play important roles during the treatment of patients with COVID-19. In our hospital, 27 of 34 anesthesia nurses participated in the front-line fight against COVID-19 and did an excellent job. Anesthesia care by nurses is relatively new in China, and the role of anesthesia nurses during a disaster response has not been fully appreciated. Given their specialty, anesthesia nurses have played important roles in the treatment of patients with COVID-19. We hope that authorities will consider including anesthesia nurses in national disaster response medical rescue teams.
作为2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）患者治疗的中坚力量，护士们在方舱医院、隔离病房和危重症监护病房发挥着关键作用。麻醉护士有其自身的专业特长，如气道管理、包括呼吸机在内的生命支持设备的使用与维护以及高流量吸氧设备的使用。凭借在应急响应和护理方面的丰富经验，麻醉护士与急诊护士和重症监护护士一道，在COVID-19患者的治疗过程中发挥着重要作用。在我院，34名麻醉护士中有27名参与了抗击COVID-19的一线战斗，并出色地完成了任务。护士提供麻醉护理在中国相对较新，麻醉护士在灾害应对中的作用尚未得到充分认识。鉴于其专业特长，麻醉护士在COVID-19患者的治疗中发挥了重要作用。我们希望有关部门考虑将麻醉护士纳入国家灾害应对医疗救援队。
