The Fifth Press Conference on Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Infected in novel coronavirus, Henan Province was held.
Strengthen the treatment of severe diseases and do a good job of disinfection.
The prevention and treatment of pneumonia in novel coronavirus has been going on for more than ten days. How about the treatment of patients in our province at this critical period? What protection should the public do at this stage? On February 7, at the fifth press conference held by the provincial government information office, Zhang Zhimin, deputy director of the provincial health and health commission, and other relevant responsible persons answered questions on issues of concern to all sectors of society.
Treatment: Improving the quality of critical care can reduce the mortality rate.
According to the latest data, as of 24: 00 on February 6th, 68 cases of pneumonia infected by novel coronavirus were cured and 3 cases died in our province. For a new death case, Qin Bingyu, director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Henan Provincial People’s Hospital, said that the patient was a 69-year-old male who suffered from basic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease for many years. On February 6, he suddenly had heart fibrillation and cardiac arrest, and died after being rescued.
"Some elderly, frail patients with basic diseases are prone to develop into severe and critical types, but by improving the quality of intensive care, increasing the investment of intensive care professionals and the number of ICU beds, the mortality rate can be reduced." Qin Bingyu said that at present, the mortality rate of critically ill patients in our province has shown a significant downward trend, indicating that the treatment strategy is correct and effective.
Treatment features: the rate of synergistic treatment with traditional Chinese medicine reached 94.31%.
Our province is a big province of Chinese medicine. In the face of this epidemic, Chinese medicine has played an important role. According to Zhang Zhimin, deputy director of the Provincial Health and Health Commission, at present, Chinese medicine hospitals at or above the second level in the province have set up fever clinics, identified designated hospitals for admission, set up emergency reserve teams, and clarified the deployment plan for personnel and Chinese medicine decoction pieces; Set up an expert team at the first time to participate in the diagnosis, treatment and consultation of mild and severe patients in all directions. Up to now, the cooperative treatment rates of traditional Chinese medicine in confirmed patients and discharged patients have reached 94.31% and 90.7% respectively.
Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in prevention and treatment. Zhu Mingjun, dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that Yinqiao Powder, Maxing Shigan Decoction and some decoctions prepared according to patients’ symptoms can all play a very good role in treatment. Early administration of mild patients can quickly reduce fever, relieve symptoms and prevent conversion to severe diseases; For severe patients, it can make them recover smoothly and reduce the mortality rate.
Personal protection: beware of "recessive infection" and achieve "one reduction and one protection"
Recently, there have been confirmed cases in some places that have no obvious symptoms but infect others with the virus. How to prevent this situation? Zhang Yanyuan, director of the Institute of Immunization Prevention and Planning of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, explained that asymptomatic infected people can also be called "recessive infection". Because there are no symptoms, it is difficult to identify but infectious, which brings great difficulties to prevention and control, but prevention is still possible. "The first is the vaccine, but the development of the vaccine still takes time. The other is to develop rapid detection reagents and related technologies, which can be identified as soon as possible and take isolation measures as soon as possible. "
For the public, it is necessary to achieve "one reduction and one protection". That is to "reduce" interpersonal contact as much as possible, "increase" interpersonal distance, and strictly and scientifically do personal "protection", such as wearing a mask and washing hands frequently.
Protection of public areas: hospitals, supermarkets, markets and other places should focus on disinfection.
"Since the mode of transmission in novel coronavirus is droplet transmission and contact transmission, it is meaningful to disinfect key places at present." Liu Jiqi, director of the Institute of Disinfection and Vector Biological Control of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested that the next step should be to carry out disinfection for key units in key places such as hospitals, supermarkets and sanitation facilities.
Specifically, the first is to strengthen the disinfection of the residence and activity areas of confirmed cases, suspected cases and infected people. The second is to strengthen the disinfection of supermarkets, shopping malls, railway stations, airports and other densely populated places and the surrounding environment. The third is to strengthen the disinfection of cases (confirmed cases and suspected cases) and pollutants discharged by infected people (blood, secretions, vomit, excreta, etc.) and places that may be polluted. Fourth, strengthen the disinfection of trains, long-distance buses, buses and other means of transportation, maintain good ventilation in the car, clean and clean up the garbage in time, and regularly clean and disinfect the seats, inner walls of cars and handrails in the car that passengers come into contact with.
