(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Yi Fan, a doctor in Wuhan who has been infected with New Coronavirus, has obviously turned pale
China News Agency, Beijing, May 9 (Reporter Li Yanan) At the press conference held by the Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism of the State Council of China on the 9th, Duan Jun, deputy director of the Department of Surgical Intensive Medicine and deputy team leader of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital The latest photos taken by Yi Fan, a doctor at Wuhan City Central Hospital infected with the new crown virus, were significantly whiter than those on April 6.
Earlier, Yi Fan and another Wuhan doctor Hu Weifeng who had been infected with the new crown virus were finally rescued after more than two months of treatment, causing black circles to attract attention from all walks of life. In this regard, Duan Jun said that the two doctors turned black because the infection was too heavy, and the drug polymyxin B was used in the treatment. This drug will cause pigmentation and darken the skin, but the skin color will slowly recover.
Duan Jun detailed the treatment of the two doctors and patients. Both were diagnosed with infection around the end of January. At that time, the condition was very serious and the progress was very fast. Both were intubated and used ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, commonly known as "artificial lung").
After being transferred to the ward taken over by the Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital Aid Medical Team, the medical team, with the support of ECMO and ventilator, performed a CT scan of the two patients on the same day, and performed a tracheostomy the next day. The evaluation found that both patients had blood-borne infections, and the source of infection in the blood needed to be removed. The most critical of these was to replace all catheters on the body, especially ECMO catheters.
"Although we have made very careful plans, including emergency plans, but unexpectedly, there was an accident when replacing the ECMO circuit, heavy chest bleeding, shock." Duan Jun said, emergency, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Medical College The Sino-French New City campus of Tongji Hospital was coordinated to the operating room and the doctor within half an hour. After the patient was rescued, his condition improved significantly.
After the ECMO circuit was successfully replaced after the twists and turns, the patient's condition stabilized the next day, and on the third day Dr. Yi Fan recovered. Duan Jun recalled that when he woke up, he was anxious to speak, but he wanted to ask whether the ECMO circuit on his body was fixed. "Because Dr. Yi Fan himself is a doctor of cardiac surgery, he usually uses ECMO. He knows the importance of ECMO circuit fixation for him. ECMO was the only way to maintain his life."
After treatment, the two doctors recovered quickly. According to Duan Jun, Doctor Yi Fan withdrew ECMO on the 14th day and was cured and discharged on May 8. Dr. Hu Weifeng evacuated the pipeline on the 20th day and is currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment in the hospital. (Finish)
