Zhang Wenhong: New crown pneumonia and SARS is not the same key is early and timely treatment

In order to assist overseas Chinese to do a good job in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, on March 16 at 4:00 pm (Beijing time), Shanghai medical experts video-linked representatives of overseas Chinese communities in Italy, France, Malaysia, Australia and the United Arab Emirates to share their experience in the prevention, control and treatment of new crown pneumonia, and to give positive advice on the prevention and control of the epidemic overseas. Zhang Wenhong, director of the Infection Department at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, said at the meeting that we are all very worried recently because we see that for the first time the number of cases occurring outside China today exceeds the total number of cases on the mainland, and there is also a relatively high rate of illness and death in various regions, so we are all more worried overall. But there is also good news, that is, Shanghai imported patients from Italy, Iran and France, Spain all over the Shanghai total number of 17 people, this morning in the designated hospital to see the 17 patients (condition) are very good, only one patient is more serious, but now the condition is also relatively well controlled. He pointed out that, in fact, Chinese doctors have summed up a lot of experience, we have seen that most patients can indeed be cured, the later the epidemic, the more experience we have, he was very happy to see more than 400 patients in Malaysia so far in very good condition, “the new crown pneumonia to this stage, in fact, we have clearly known, and the year SARS Unlike SARS, it is not that there will be very serious consequences immediately after getting Newcastle pneumonia, in fact most patients do have very good results after early treatment.” Zhang Wenhong admits that many times the reason for the poor treatment is that they are not treated in a timely manner, and that about 20% of people with neoconiosis will indeed be heavier, and these 20% of people will in fact be at very high risk if they are not sent to the hospital in time. He believes that the most basic treatment for patients with neo-coronary pneumonia is to be on oxygen, so 20% of those who are more seriously ill may get better simply by simple treatment and rescue in the hospital, but if they lose the opportunity to be treated in the hospital, the rate of death from the disease will be much higher. “The allocation of medical resources in each local medical treatment has become a very important point in this treatment.” Zhang Wenhong further said that the worst case is that once there are too many seriously ill patients, if the local medical resources allocation if there is a problem, this is the time to worry, “Now no matter which country, which region, in the early stages of the disease we can bring it under control, which is very good.” Content source: Punch News
