  "After being evaluated by the medical staff and nurses, patients with critical conditions and unstable vital signs were immediately sent to the emergency room for corresponding treatment. Nearly 100 patients were rescued every day, and there were about 60 patients who continued to be rescued. High position operation." Zhang Yuhua said.

  In particular, she pointed out that under the current situation, those patients whose vital signs are measured are relatively stable, and they will wait in line after the medical staff evaluates their condition.

"These patients may have to delay seeing a doctor, and may face a long wait. Please understand the general public."

  The number of patients in the emergency room has doubled, and the number of patients in the hospital's fever building has also increased significantly compared with the past.

Zhang Yuhua said that at the beginning of December, more than 500 fever patients were treated every day, and there was a queue during peak hours, and the hospital dispatched medical staff to urgently support the fever clinic.

At present, the number of daily fever patients remains at around 380.

  How to relieve the pressure of emergency and fever clinics, and ensure the quality and level of treatment for critically ill patients?

How to effectively shorten the waiting time of patients?

Guo Shubin, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, Vice President, and Director of the Department of Emergency Medicine of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that the hospital will go all out to expand its overall treatment capacity, try its best to treat urgent and critically ill patients, relieve the pressure of emergency and fever clinics, and speed up the treatment of critically ill patients. turnover.

  The reporter learned that starting from December 15th, relying on the advantages of respiratory, emergency, critical care medicine, cardiovascular, neurology and other specialties, the hospital has established a comprehensive treatment ward to treat acute and critical patients and relieve the pressure on the emergency department.

Integrate bed resources, ICU renovation, intensive care theory and practical training, etc. to strengthen critical care resource reserves, improve the hospital's ability to treat critically ill patients, and reduce the fatality rate.

  "As of December 26, the hospital has opened a total of 15 comprehensive treatment wards, with 538 open beds, including 69 critical care beds." Guo Shubin said that the hospital has also established an intensive care unit, a sub-ICU unit, and respiratory disease. The outpatient clinic in the diagnosis and treatment area expands the overall treatment capacity of the hospital.

  In order to alleviate the pressure of fever clinic visits, the hospital, under the coordination of the Chaoyang District Health and Health Commission, opened the second fever clinic of Chaoyang Hospital in the Chaoyang District Gymnasium on December 14 to meet the drug purchase needs of mild patients in the territory.

In this way, the hospital's fever clinic can be used as a treatment place for critically ill patients and ordinary patients, effectively shortening the waiting time for patients.

  The hospital has also launched an Internet hospital "online consultation on new crown infection" service to meet the medical needs of new crown patients during their home recovery.

  In addition, the hospital has smooth referrals between hospitals and medical alliances. For elderly patients with stable vital signs who still need certain medical care, such as oxygen therapy and infusion, they will be transferred to medical alliance hospitals for follow-up treatment.

To ensure the quality of medical care and ensure that more critically ill patients can receive timely and effective treatment.

  Guo Shubin suggested that grass-roots health service institutions focus on protecting vulnerable groups and avoiding infection; early identification of severe cases, early drug intervention to prevent severe cases, and once there are early warning indicators for severe cases of the new crown, it is necessary to go to secondary and tertiary hospitals for treatment in time.

Secondary and tertiary hospitals for critically ill patients seek timely treatment.
