Scientific analysis of the mortality rate in high-cold areas

The 22nd of this newspaper (Reporter Zhao Yinuo) On the afternoon of the 22nd, our reporter connected Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan, two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, to interview Heilongjiang against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Academician Zhong Nanshan made a scientific analysis of the mortality rate in Heilongjiang.

Academician Zhong Nanshan said that if patients with new coronary pneumonia have comorbidities and underlying diseases, the risk of death is significantly increased, which can be several times higher, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and some chronic obstructive diseases. In the case of new coronary pneumonia, the condition is relatively severe and the recovery is relatively slow. Therefore, it is not surprising that the relative mortality rate has increased in the north, especially in the northeast part of China, which is an alpine region. The flu in these areas should be relatively high. In addition, I pay tribute to Heilongjiang Province for being able to report deaths faithfully and truthfully. I feel that everything should be reported truthfully.

Academician Li Lanjuan provided guidance on the treatment cycle of new coronary pneumonia, the use of antiviral drugs, and comprehensive treatment of patients. For example, the treatment period for confirmed patients is usually 7 to 10 days, and the maximum is no more than two weeks. This time is important, beyond this period it becomes critically ill. For example, antiviral drugs must be used. For example, comprehensive treatment for critically ill patients is also very important. For example, the hydrogen and oxygen atomizers and ventilator should be used properly, and the trachea should be intubated as early as possible to provide oxygen supply for breathing difficulties.

Academician Zhong Nanshan was very concerned about the progress of Heilongjiang's fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. After learning that related equipment was needed for intensive treatment, he personally made a match and helped contact a Guangdong company, which decided to donate 50 hydrogen and oxygen atomizers to Heilongjiang.
