It is deployed quickly and insists on focusing on patients and experts. , Concentrate resources, focus on treatment, and protect the lives and health of the people of all ethnic groups to the maximum.

  The first is to establish designated hospitals for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia in Xinjiang. In order to ensure the effective, orderly and effective treatment of patients with new coronary pneumonia, the Autonomous Region Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters coordinated the efforts of all parties and established the Xinjiang New Coronary Pneumonia Medical Treatment Designated Hospital on the basis of the Xinjiang Infectious Disease Hospital. Under the guidance of, set up a team of medical experts, mobilize high-quality resources, improve the diagnosis and treatment plan, optimize the diagnosis and treatment process, and fully carry out the treatment work.

  The second is to establish an expert consultation mechanism. After the outbreak, the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism to respond to the new crown pneumonia epidemic immediately transferred Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Hubei and other brother provinces and cities to form a medical treatment expert group with first-class domestic experts and rich experience in fighting the epidemic. The designated treatment hospitals help guide the treatment work. Xinjiang has also deployed outstanding experts in respiratory, critical illness, hospitalization, nursing, clinical, psychological, laboratory, imaging, etc., to form a joint expert group with national experts, establish an expert consultation mechanism, and fully carry out new coronary pneumonia Rescue and treatment of patients.

  The third is to coordinate high-quality medical resources. Xinjiang has mobilized 17 medical teams from 14 medical institutions in the form of hospitals and departments. Each medical team is responsible for the medical treatment of patients with new coronary pneumonia in various hospitals. At present, the selected nursing staff from the six prefectures of Karamay, Changji, Turpan, Bazhou, Kashgar, and Hotan have formed a nursing support team, which is fully responsible for the medical care of patients with new coronary pneumonia in the hospital.

  The fourth is to optimize the layout of the hospital with strong medical equipment. According to the needs of the development of the epidemic, the hospital has been partially transformed, adding ordinary beds and intensive care beds. More than 100 sets (sets) of various advanced medical equipment were mobilized from the entire region, including 4 ECMOs, 50 invasive breathing machines, 45 non-invasive ventilators, and 9 CRRT machines, which provided a powerful force for the comprehensive development of medical treatment. Guaranteed.

  He said that as a designated hospital for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia in Xinjiang, it will mobilize all resources and devote all efforts to further tighten and compact responsibilities, implement detailed implementation work, and go all out to do a good job in patient treatment, to win the fight against the epidemic. Make a positive contribution.

The median age of onset of the outbreak in Urumqi is relatively low

  When answering reporters’ questions, Lu Chen also said that compared with the previous period, the number of patients admitted to the Urumqi epidemic was more mild and asymptomatic, and the median age of onset was relatively low. In the medical treatment of new coronary pneumonia, we have always insisted on reducing the infection rate and mortality rate, increasing the cure rate and the admission rate, and "reducing the two rates and increasing the two rates" are always the goals. In accordance with the principle of moving forward, focusing on mild and severe cases, and the "four early" principles, we will focus on the treatment of asymptomatic infections while trying our best to treat severe and critical cases, and focus on early intervention and early treatment of mild cases to prevent Mild or ordinary cases are turned into severe cases, and severe cases are turned into critically ill, so as to effectively increase the cure rate and reduce the mortality rate.

  He said that for mild patients, combining traditional Chinese medicine treatment and symptomatic treatment, while requiring patients to stay in bed, strengthen supportive treatment, and closely monitor blood routine, urine routine, CRP, liver enzymes, myocardial enzymes, renal function, coagulation function, arterial Vital signs such as blood gas analysis and chest imaging. According to the specific characteristics and conditions of each case, treatment measures such as nasal catheters, mask feeding, and high-flow oxygen therapy through the nose are given to actively prevent complications, treat underlying diseases, and prevent secondary infections.

  For the treatment of critically ill or critically ill patients, combined with the actual situation of the patient, use antiviral therapy such as a-interferon, lopinavir, ritonavir, ribavirin alone or in combination, with oxygen therapy and high flow Nasal catheter oxygen therapy, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (EOMO) and other multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment methods are the core, including comprehensive treatment measures or methods such as respiratory support, circulatory support, and renal replacement therapy.

  According to reports, at present, through active and effective anti-coronavirus treatment, many cases of severe patients have been converted to common types. For example: a patient admitted to the hospital on July 18 was diagnosed with new coronavirus infection pneumonia (severe). After admission, he was actively treated by the joint expert team and was hospitalized for 8 days. The patient's condition improved significantly. Converted to normal type.
