Vaccines, drugs, and medical redundancy are the three weapons in the future fight against the epidemic.
The National Health Commission has released the Diagnostic and Treatment Program for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Ninth Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "Diagnostic and Treatment Program"), with adjustments to both the discharge criteria and the subsequent isolation management requirements.
At a press conference on the prevention and control of the Shanghai new crown outbreak held on the 17th, regarding these widespread concerns, Zhang Wenhong, head of Shanghai's new crown medical treatment expert group and director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital, said that according to the "Diagnostic and Treatment Program", the isolation time of the people receiving treatment is shortened, which does not increase the risk of prevention and control for the whole society. The designated hospitals can set aside more medical resources to treat seriously ill patients.
In Zhang Wenhong's view, there should be three weapons against future epidemics: first, adequate vaccination; second, support for effective antiviral drugs and other medicines, including traditional Chinese medicine; and third, very adequate medical redundancy.
He told reporters that the Medical Affairs Bureau of the National Health Commission has conducted a reading across China. After the reading, he invited dozens of experts in the field of infectious and contagious diseases to have a big closed-door discussion online. Everyone agreed that this time the Diagnosis and Treatment Program is the most scientific and best of all the current versions.
Zhang Wenhong believes that, at the beginning, experts from the new coronavirus know nothing, the earliest diagnosis and treatment program based on the experience of the medical side of the development, with more and more scientific evidence, the new "diagnosis and treatment program" is completely based on science to develop the most reasonable program. For the general public, the previous two weeks of isolation at the isolation point after discharge from the hospital, now changed to discharge home monitoring for seven days before doing nucleic acid.
On stratified rescue, stratified treatment
The latest diagnosis and treatment program for medical institutions focus on the discussion is stratified rescue, stratified treatment? Zhang Wenhong said, the patient in accordance with the light, serious and high-risk factors for stratification, light, ordinary type should be stratified, light patients and asymptomatic people will be isolated in the designated medical conditions of the isolation point for observation, leaving more medical resources to treat serious patients.
"Through the development of these major standards, it will make room for us to fight the epidemic in the future. The tiered management approach will promote the optimal use of medical resources and enhance the redundancy of medical resources, and we will have certainty in our minds to fight the epidemic in the future."
