The process of seeing a fever clinic in Xiangyang (Fever Clinic of Xiangyang First People's Hospital)

What is the procedure for visiting the fever clinic?

①Take a temperature

After the patient arrives at the hospital, the nurse will put on a medical surgical mask and measure whether the temperature exceeds 37.3℃.

②Inquiry

The nurse will continue to ask the patient if he/she has an epidemiologic history:

Has he/she been to Wuhan in the 14 days before the onset of the disease?

Has the patient been in contact with a patient with fever with respiratory symptoms from Wuhan within 14 days before the onset of illness? Or was there a cluster of illnesses around you?

③Triage

After the above assessment, patients who meet the relevant criteria will be triaged to the fever clinic.

④Examinations

For patients with fever and an epidemiologic history, the doctor will arrange for blood tests, liver and kidney functions, cardiac enzymes, and X-ray chest radiographs.

⑤Staying in the hospital

After the test results come out, the fever clinic doctor will make a judgment based on the results, and the hospital will ask an expert to conduct a consultation if there is a suspicion of a new type of coronavirus infection with pneumonia. In the meantime, febrile patients will be placed in isolation for observation.

6 Referral

If pneumonia is suspected to be a new type of coronavirus infection, the hospital will refer the patient to a designated hospital for isolation and treatment, and conduct pathogenetic testing.
