天涯副主編北京地鐵猝死 急救系統仍需健全

Chinese netizens call to strengthen emergency aid system in society after a man fell to sudden death in a subway station in Beijing during rush hour.

近日，一名男子在上下班高峯時期猝死於北京一地鐵站裏，對此中國網民呼籲加強社會的急救系統。

Jin Bo, the 34-year-old deputy editor-in-chief of a popular social networking site , passed away last Wednesday evening after he lost consciousness and fainted at a subway station in Beijing around 7 p.m.

今年34歲的金波是天涯社區的副主編。上週三的時候他突然暈倒在北京一地鐵站裏，失去了意識，隨後大約在晚上7點左右停止了心跳。

Eyewitnesses said some fellow passengers tried to give Jin artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) including a foreign woman who claimed herself to be an emergency treatment doctor, while subway employees eased the crowds during the rush hour, Beijing Youth Daily reported.

據《北京青年報》報道，現場目擊者稱，同行的乘客試圖給金波做人工呼吸和心肺復甦術，其中還有一名自稱是急救醫生的外國女子，當時正是交通晚高峯時期，地鐵工作人員正在疏散人羣。

Jin also received CPR from Beijing Red Cross Emergency Rescue Center (999) medical staff before he was sent to the hospital where he was certified dead.

在被送到醫院之前，北京紅十字急救中心（999）的醫護人員也對他進行了心肺復甦術，但是後來送到醫院後還是不治身亡。

Amid the mourning for the loss of a good reporter and introspection on overworking which could possibly lead to death, many netizens also pointed out the necessity to set up emergency aid system in the society, especially at public places.

在哀痛失去了一名好記者和反省有可能致人死亡的過度工作之後，許多網民都指出了在全社會建立急救系統的必要性，尤其在公共場所。

It reflected the inadequacy of emergency rescue at public places. All public places must be equipped with AED and all service staff should be trained with CPR. Those who offer help must not stop giving CPR to the patient until 999 medical staff arrive, wrote Yu Ying, a verified doctor at emergency department, on her Sina Weibo.

這起事件反映出了公共場所急救的缺失。所有公共場所都必須配備自動體外除顫器（AED），並且所有的服務人員都應當培訓學習心肺復甦術。急診醫生餘音在她的新浪微博上寫道，那些伸出援手的人在999醫護人員抵達之前不能停止心肺復甦術。

AED in Yu's post referred to automated external defibrillator, a portable electronic device that can automatically diagnose some heart diseases. It is also able to treat the patient through electrical therapy. However, such life-saving devices are rarely seen in China. According to China Central Television (CCTV), AED can so far only be found at the Beijing Capital International Airport, some lines of the Shanghai subway and in a few Olympic stadiums in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The device is also unfamiliar to much of the public.

AED是指自動體外除顫器，這種便攜式電子設備能夠自動診斷某些心臟疾病，也能夠通過電擊療法來治療病人。但是，這些救生設備在中國很少見。據CCTV報道，目前中國國內配備了AED的公共場所只有首都國際機場、上海地鐵部分線路和北上廣等地的一些奧運場館。對許多公衆來說，他們也不熟悉自動體外除顫器。
