Major institutions launched a new type of physical examination package
Reporters on the Internet randomly looked for a few "Yang Kang physical examination package" medical institutions, found that the public hospitals, private medical examination institutions have launched.
The least expensive item is just a single CT lung examination. The vast majority of institutions for the physical examination package, the price ranges from a few hundred to a thousand dollars, the physical examination project includes blood routine, CRP (C-reactive protein), lung CT, electrocardiogram, myocardial enzymes, liver function, renal function, immune function and other inspection items. The fastest time to get a report is 2 working days, and the slowest time is 7 working days, which is related to the organization and the specific items to be examined.
Yangkang patient Ms. Chen, a few days ago, went to the physical examination institutions to do a yangkang physical examination, "has been feeling tired, people every day dip bed to sleep, I do not know if there is no problem, see the network a moment to say that silent hypoxia, a moment to say that viral cardiomyopathy, a moment to say that the white lungs, or to go to do the examination to rest assured."
"Many people are infected for the first time with the new crown, and many of the symptoms that appear after the infection may also last for a period of time, this time many patients will appear a certain anxiety, such as coughing has not been good suspected of inflammation of the lungs, people fatigue, after taking medication on their own for fear of medication liver damage, frequent urination at night for fear of renal damage and so on. With the physical examination package, one is to alleviate the pressure of the hospital department, and the second is also to alleviate the anxiety of patients." Talking about the original intention of launching the Yangkang physical examination, Dr. Wang Guoping, administrative director of the Health Screening Center of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, said.
"In the late stage of the new crown, the most common symptoms are chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, cough and phlegm. These symptoms may last for one to three weeks, with a longer recovery period." Xie Qunfang, health ambassador of Fujian Health News and deputy chief physician of the Health Management and Family Medicine Center of the First Hospital of Fujian Medical University, said that many people therefore want to have a medical checkup for peace of mind.
Medical checkup off-season People with underlying diseases may want to do a routine medical checkup
"For the general population who are asymptomatic after yangkang, a yangkang medical checkup is actually not too necessary." Xie Qunfang said. Prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, is the whole process of disease intervention of the three links. Physical examination belongs to the prevention, from the healthy population to find problems, also for the general population. "Yang Kang physical examination" itself is universal, but lack of targeting.
Xie Qunfang believes that the greatest significance of the Yang Kang physical examination is to draw attention to their own health, "especially hypertension, diabetes and other chronic disease groups, as well as older people over 60 years of age, may wish to take advantage of the opportunity to do a full-body routine physical examination. You can choose the most basic package - abdominal ultrasound, electrocardiogram, blood test, urine test, fecal occult blood test, biochemistry complete set + CRP test, and lung CT test can be added if you have not had lung CT for more than 1 year. These tests can basically reflect the body's current condition."
The reporter also learned that although the major institutions launched the Yang Kang physical examination, but overall, the current reception of the number of visits are much less than in previous years, the fear of cross-infection, the second infection is the reason people do not want to go to do a physical examination.
Wang Guoping said that the current is the off-season for medical checkups, not necessarily must be Yang Kang crowd, the general population can also make up for last year's medical checkups did not do in this period. And in order to reduce the secondary infection, you can make an appointment in advance in the "Fujian Medical University Union Hospital" public number (outpatient selection of the physical examination center can be), the results of the physical examination can be queried on the public number, if there is any doubt, the Union Hospital Health Checkup Center has also opened a telephone consultation hotline for the convenience of the patients to consult.
Reminder: more obvious symptoms preferred Yang Kang outpatient clinic
"Generally about a week after the new coronavirus infection, the symptoms can be gradually relieved, the body will gradually improve, but if this stage of the patient's chest tightness, chest pain, panic and other symptoms did not improve, but instead aggravated, it should be attention should be paid to as soon as possible to seek medical attention. It is more recommended to go to the Yangkang Clinic of the regular hospital than the physical examination center." Xie Qunfang reminded, Yang Kang clinic has a specialized doctor according to each person's different conditions prescribed different tests, can interpret the report and prescribe medication, give diagnosis and treatment recommendations, more professional and more targeted. And part of the physical examination organization report time is slow, may be delayed.
Additionally, if you have a pulse oximeter at home, and your oxygen saturation is below 93, or if you are breathing more than 30 times a minute in a calm state and your heart is beating more than 120 times a minute, and you are experiencing panic, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, you may be experiencing signs of a critical illness, and you should go to the hospital in a timely manner.
Of course, if you just have a little cough or discomfort, but just don't feel comfortable, and can't get an appointment for a lung CT. then, Xie Qunfang recommended, first do a CRP + blood routine, and a full set of liver function tests, usually can find abnormalities, save money and fast results. If the indicators are normal, there is no need to carry out the next check, if abnormal and then do lung CT and other tests to clarify the cause of the disease.
