00:00So, doon sa mga kaso na kailangan itatapos sa ospital ay mabilis na may tatapos sa emergency.
00:08Okay, asok tayo!
00:12So, ito ang inside ng fully equipped ambulance natin na ready to respond sa ating mga patients, especially for them.
00:24So, ganun din like yung nakita nyo doon sa kit na dinadala sa site.
00:27So, pag dinala na yung patient dito on the trolley, nandito din lahat ng gamit.
00:32So, nandito din yung defibrillator, yung kanina yung automatic na hawak.
00:37Ito yung mas malaking defibrillator na nandito.
00:40Nandito din yung oxygen. May oxygen tayo.
00:42Everything you find in the hospital.
00:45Ito, ventilator ito.
00:46Yung kanina, nakita nyo yung ginagamit ko, yung bag.
00:49So, ito, this will actually allow the patient to breathe kung di siya umihinga.
00:54Kung na-intubate na siya.
00:55This is a transport ventilator.
00:59And then, kompleto ito ng gamit for trauma patients.
01:01May splits dyan sa ilalim na upuan.
01:04I-open mo yan.
01:04Tamayo ka.
01:05I-open mo yung ano.
01:07Ayan!
01:07Yan yung ibang mga gamit for the trauma patients.
01:10Mga splits, neck collar, and everything are actually put there.
01:14Ito naman yung suction device para sa airway.
01:17Department of Health dito sa South Luzon Expressway.
01:22At nandito po, dalawang medical team, dalawang ambulansya.
01:26At we will set up a second tent dito for patients na nangangailangan ng emergency medical service.
01:33Lalo na dito sa Panahon ng Undas.
01:35Na, ayan, na-traffic na.
01:37Madami ng mga sasakyan lumadaan dito.
01:40And we hope, re-remind natin ang mga kababayan natin, dalin nyo yung mga gamot nyo, inumin nyo yung mga medicines nyo, para hindi tayo magkaroon ng problema sa mahabang biyahe, pa-uwi sa ating mga pamilya.
01:52Sekretary, ilang po yung naka-deploy dito?
01:55So, now, ang naka-deploy dito sa station na ito, ito yung South Luzon Expressway, right after Alabang.
02:02Ito yung gas station dito, and we have Las Piñas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Center.
02:10May team tayo ng two doctors from them, two nurses, may aid, may ambulance, complete with equipment na meron sa emergency room and medicines.
02:18Ganon din yung Valenzuela, pinag-combine na namin sila dito, yung Valenzuela Medical Center.
02:24Dati, last year, dun sila sa norte, pero this time, dineploy namin dito kasi yung mga region 3 ng DOH is able to cover naman the NLEX.
02:36Ano-ano po mga sakit yung pwede po nila ma-respondihan sa halit?
02:39Lahat ng emergency conditions, they're ready to respond.
02:42So, sabi sa akin, nung head dito ng Las Piñas, dati, last year daw, marami yung mga mataas ang blood pressure.
02:49Siguro, nakalimutan inumin yung dose nila.
02:52Marami rin yung mga nahihilo at nawawala ng malay.
02:56So, yun yung mga niririvive.
02:58Iba, nadadala sa ospital.
02:59Iba naman dito lang sa treatment, first aid, paunang lunas lang at pwede na sila mag-home.
03:05May medicines din kaming dala.
03:06So, in case nakalimutan yung medicines, pwede pa inumin sila ng common medicines.
03:11So, maximum capacity na dito?
03:14Maximum capacity?
03:16When they put up the second tent, we usually are able to observe one to two patients dito.
03:21But we can expand more, lalo na kung may mass casualty, wala naman sanang ganun.
03:26Yung car crash na dalawang punong sasakyan, easily, mga sampu pasyente yan.
03:31So, ang mangyayari dyan, yung mga most critical, dadali na gan sa hospital.
03:36Yung mga pwede maghintay, dito na ititreat yung minor injuries.
03:39So, diretsyo sa ospital, that's why we have ambulance. We have two ambulances.
03:43Sa ibang expressways po, meron din po tayo?
03:46Meron din. We provide also this during every undas, we provide this.
03:50And last year, nag-inspect ako.
03:52Linya ko kasi ito, emergency doctor ako.
03:54And our team usually responds pag may mass gathering event.
03:57Ito, may movement tayo.
03:59Kita natin, traffic na, o.
04:00Maaga pa.
04:01Wala pa, alas 8.
04:03Ang dami na bumubiyayay pa south.
04:04So, mataas ang chances ng car crash, collision, tapos yung mga nakalimutan uminom ng gamot,
04:12hindi kumain ng almusal, tapos mahihilong.
04:14So, yun ang mga nakikita namin.
04:34So, yun ang mga nakikita.
04:35Okay, now we take care.
04:36So, yun ang mga nakikita.
04:37So, the answer is a follow-up yun ang maha.
04:38So, yun ang mga nakikita.
04:40We have plenty shSim.
