China News Service, May 23. The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the 23rd. Guo Yanhong, the supervisory commissioner of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration, said at the meeting that there were a total of 2 severe cases of the epidemic in Beijing. After careful treatment, both cases were severe. A very good treatment effect has been achieved, and it has been converted to ordinary and light.

　　At the meeting, a reporter asked that critical care is the last line of defense for COVID-19 medical treatment. What is the situation of critical care in this round of the epidemic? The epidemic has been eased in some areas recently, and what changes have been made in treatment capacity and efficiency?

In addition, the proportion of high-risk groups in critically ill patients is very high. What measures have been taken to ensure the treatment and recovery of cases for this group of people?

　　Guo Yanhong pointed out that the currently popular Omicron variant strain is more infectious and spreads faster, and a certain percentage of infected people have no symptoms, so its spread is very hidden.

Under such circumstances, once a clustered epidemic occurs, the number of infected people will surge in a short period of time.

With the substantial increase in the number of infected people, some elderly people and vulnerable groups with underlying diseases are not only prone to develop severe illnesses after infection, but also bring greater challenges to medical treatment because of underlying diseases.

For the medical treatment of patients, we always adhere to the concept of "people first, life first".

In the process of treatment, all patients should be admitted and treated as needed, which not only ensures the treatment of patients, but also ensures that the infected will not cause infection to the surrounding population.

　　Guo Yanhong said that in order to ensure the treatment of critically ill patients, it is first necessary to strengthen the construction of designated hospitals, so that ordinary, severe, critical and at-risk patients can be admitted to designated hospitals, so the construction of designated hospitals is very important.

Therefore, it is required that when determining designated hospitals, all localities must choose hospitals with strong comprehensive capabilities, good treatment conditions, and high management levels as designated hospitals for new coronary pneumonia.

At the same time, considering the occurrence of severe cases, some patients have both new coronary pneumonia infection and a variety of underlying diseases. Therefore, designated hospitals are also required to appropriately increase ICU bed resources, and treat severe, critically ill and those with high risk of severe illness. All patients with factors can be promptly admitted to the ICU ward for monitoring.

In addition, it is necessary to provide sufficient equipment, facilities and medical forces for critically ill treatment, especially to improve the treatment capacity of medical staff to meet the treatment needs of critically ill patients.

　　The second is to standardize diagnosis and treatment.

Now the diagnosis and treatment plan has been revised to the ninth edition. Based on the empirical experience in clinical practice, these experiences and evidence-based evidence are continuously incorporated into the diagnosis and treatment plan, especially after some new drugs have been approved for research and development, they have been incorporated into the diagnosis and treatment plan in a timely manner. .

All localities are now required to strictly follow the ninth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan during the treatment process.

On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the monitoring of early warning indicators, especially those who seem to have mild symptoms but have high-risk factors.

At the same time, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can better ensure the therapeutic effect.

　　In addition, in the process of treatment, it is necessary to treat both new coronary pneumonia and underlying diseases, so special attention is paid to "one person, one policy" and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment.

In addition, it is also very important for patients to strengthen psychological support, nutritional support and related symptomatic treatment.

These measures have been well implemented in the treatment process in various places, and have also achieved positive results.

In the epidemic in Beijing, there have been 2 severe cases. After careful treatment, both severe cases have achieved good treatment results and have been converted to ordinary and mild cases.

　　"It should be emphasized that our country is a country with a large population and a large number of elderly people. It is also the country with the largest number of elderly people in the world." Guo Yanhong said that the development of my country's regions is unbalanced, and the level of medical care and medical resources vary between regions and between urban and rural areas. Balanced.

Therefore, the prevention and control of the epidemic must be based on "prevention". Therefore, some prevention and control measures should be taken, such as early detection of patients, nucleic acid testing, early identification and isolation of close contacts, and other "prevention" policies. , must be implemented quickly and strictly, in order to avoid causing a large number of people to be infected in a short period of time, thereby avoiding a relatively large number of severe and even death cases.

Therefore, these prevention and control measures must be based on "prevention".

　　Guo Yanhong said that the responsibility of the public and individuals in epidemic prevention and control should also be fulfilled.

Among the public's prevention and control responsibilities, such as daily wearing of masks, frequent hand washing, frequent ventilation, and reducing gatherings are also effective measures to reduce infection.

Especially for the elderly and people with underlying diseases, try to protect yourself from infection when an epidemic occurs.

At the same time, vaccination is still an effective measure to prevent severe illness, so everyone is encouraged to actively vaccinate to effectively protect their own health, avoid severe illness, and reduce damage to the health of the people.
