China News Network, Xiangyang, March 16th (Hu Li, Gong Bo, Hu Chuanlin) After more than a month of careful treatment, friends and patients (a pseudonym) of critically ill patients with new coronary pneumonia were cured and discharged from Xiangyang First People's Hospital on the 16th.

On January 31, Pengpeng was taken to the First People's Hospital of Xiangyang City by his parents for cough. He was only 8 months old at the time of admission and was diagnosed with severe pneumonia.

Jiao Rong, director of pediatrics at the hospital, said that when she first arrived, her baby had difficulty breathing and had cyanosis (a manifestation of severe hypoxia). The doctor found that the child was severely malnourished, and weighed only 6.5 kg. Subsequently, the child's condition rapidly deteriorated and fever began.

At this time, the epidemic of new crown pneumonia was spreading, and the hospital immediately performed nucleic acid tests on friends and relatives. Both tests were positive and were diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia (critically ill).

According to reports, shortly after Pengpeng was born, he had undergone surgical treatment for complex congenital heart disease and was hospitalized several times since then. He has a poor basic constitution, a critical condition, and treatment is extremely difficult.

The First People's Hospital of Xiangyang City quickly organized general medical case discussions and citywide consultations. At the same time, it contacted experts in the province to conduct remote consultations, and finally decided a treatment plan.

After treatment, Pengpeng's condition gradually improved. Recently, after two nucleic acid tests, the results were negative, reaching the cure and discharge standard, and the weight at discharge was 8.5 kg.

Pengpeng's mother introduced that since she was admitted on January 31, she and her husband have never seen a child and rely on shifts to take care of them. (Finish)
