  According to reports, mild and ordinary patients can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and severe and critical patients can be treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

For mild and common patients, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can shorten the virus clearance time, shorten the hospital stay, and relieve clinical symptoms.

  For patients who are likely to become severe, early intervention with traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the rate of weight loss.

For severe and critical patients, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine can effectively block or slow down the progression from severe to critical, promote the transition from severe to mild, and reduce mortality.

  Zhang Zhongde, director of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that in the past three years, traditional Chinese medicine has achieved very good results in the treatment of severe patients with mutated strains of the new coronavirus, and has come up with an effective plan for the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

  He said that in the treatment of patients with high fever, it is not a single medicine or a technique, but a whole combination of boxing, including Chinese medicine decoction, Chinese patent medicine, external treatment, nasal feeding, acupuncture, hot compress, etc.

In the treatment of patients with high fever, traditional Chinese medicine is used frequently and in multiple combinations to quickly reduce the patient's body temperature without seriously damaging the patient's physical condition, and to maintain the TCM principle of treating the disease without injury and staying alive to treat the disease.

  "Under the life support and respiratory support of modern medicine, the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine can be used to solve the four major symptoms." Zhang Zhongde introduced that there are still some severe and critically ill patients with very low lymphocytes, down to 0.6 and 0.3 Fatigue, fatigue, Chinese medicine uses some ginseng decoction and Western ginseng red ginseng. After the patient eats it, the recovery of the whole red blood cell is relatively fast, and the critical disease and severe disease are converted to normal type, which reduces the mortality rate.

After the "Class B and B Management", the mechanism of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of severe cases will be strengthened

  After the implementation of the "Class B and B Control" of the new crown virus infection, corresponding preparations have been made for the prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.

According to Huang Luqi, it mainly includes the strengthening of "two preparations" and "one mechanism".

  The first is the preparation of medicines. While instructing localities to make relevant Chinese medicine reserves, they issued the "Guidelines for Home Medicine Intervention of Patients Infected with New Coronavirus", recommending 70 Chinese patent medicines for people's home treatment, and encouraging localities to formulate treatments for symptoms of new coronavirus infection. The prescription of the traditional Chinese medicine agreement allows relevant medical institutions to adjust and use traditional Chinese medicine preparations among medical institutions, and do everything possible to expand the supply of traditional Chinese medicine.

  The second is medical preparations, rapidly expanding medical resources for TCM treatment, and strengthening the construction of fever clinics, emergency departments, pulmonary disease departments, and ICU departments in TCM hospitals. At present, TCM hospitals above the second level across the country have set up fever clinics and expanded ICU beds.

Medical treatment training has been carried out to strengthen the strength of severe treatment, and various traditional Chinese medicine hospitals are also actively carrying out Internet diagnosis and treatment to ease the pressure of admissions.

At the same time, coordinate the use of facilities and equipment and deploy medical staff to improve the utilization efficiency of medical resources.

  Third, in terms of mechanism, strengthen the mechanism of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of severe cases, and require further establishment and improvement of the "team, mechanism, measures, and effectiveness" integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine medical treatment model. With the power of the hospital, we will carry out round-trip guidance for the treatment of severe and critical illnesses with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

All hospitals are required to establish a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine and a cooperative mechanism of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the medical treatment, and jointly participate in the decision-making of patients' diagnosis and treatment.

At the same time, give full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine in the medical treatment of the elderly and children.
