Severe pneumonia is commonly referred to as severe pneumonia and requires admission to the intensive care unit. The cost is not quite the same depending on the underlying disease of the patient. If the patient is elderly with more underlying diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebral infarction, or even chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, once severe pneumonia occurs and he or she is admitted to the ICU, coordinated treatment in many areas needs to be considered and the cost can be in the range of 5,000-10,000 RMB for 1 day. If the patient is middle-aged, has fewer underlying diseases and simply develops severe pneumonia, he or she is still in good health. Such a patient is given active antibiotics, ventilator and other adjuvant therapy at a cost of less than 5,000 yuan, and recovery is also faster, with the possibility of early transfer out of the intensive care unit at a relatively low cost. Therefore, how much it costs for 1 day in the intensive care unit for severe pneumonia depends mainly on the patient’s underlying disease and physical condition, and is more between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan.
