The 14 new crown cases in Shanghai were cured and discharged from the hospital today, all of which are mild or ordinary

The Shanghai Municipal Health Commission today (January 5) announced: After careful diagnosis and treatment and care by medical staff of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, and the assessment of the municipal expert group, 14 cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia met the discharge criteria of the latest confirmed cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia of the National Health Commission, and were successfully discharged from the hospital today.

The 14 confirmed cases discharged this time are all Chinese nationals, aged 22 to 61 years old, the condition is mild or ordinary, and they have been discharged from the hospital with measures such as anti-infection, traditional Chinese medicine, strengthening nutrition, psychological counseling and symptomatic support treatment.

Mr. Han, 32, and his family of three entered Pudong International Airport from the United States on December 12, 2021. During the period of medical observation, Mr. Han developed symptoms and was diagnosed as a confirmed case of new crown pneumonia, and was sent to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center for treatment on December 17. Two days later, the lover and child were also diagnosed and sent to the public health center. After admission, the condition of the lover and the child was mild, but Mr. Han had a high fever that lasted above 39 ° C, and the CT examination showed that both lungs also had inflammation, and the condition had a tendency to worsen.

In this regard, the expert group gave comprehensive measures such as cluster treatment, nutritional support, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, psychological counseling, etc., and successfully prevented the disease from continuing to progress after 1 week. Due to active cooperation with the treatment, Mr. Han recovered well, and the nucleic acid quickly turned negative, and finally discharged from the hospital before his lover and child. Although it is a little regrettable that the family of three cannot be discharged from the hospital at the same time, Mr. Han will cheer up his lover and children every day through mobile phone videos and strive for an early reunion with his family.

It is understood that for some patients with a long hospital stay, the expert group gives nasal irrigation of iodine-containing drugs according to the situation, which can eliminate the residual virus in the respiratory tract, help accelerate the detoxification of patients, and promote recovery.

In the past two weeks or so, the public health center has treated more than 200 cases of new crown patients. The increase in the number of patients has made the already busy work in the COVID-19 ward even busier. It is reported that at the busiest time, Dr. Zhao Jun, as the head of the building, held 5 video rounds in one day, and when the last video round was over, it was already 1 a.m. the next day.

The rapid increase in the number of patients in the short term also poses a challenge to nursing work, in order to better take care of patients, many day shift nurses simply bara two meals at lunchtime, and they can't rest and enter the ward non-stop. Nurse Ni Dandan learned that she was going to receive another batch of patients after the day shift, so she took the initiative to ask miao to help her colleagues in the middle class to do a good job in admission and treatment. It turns out that nurses must not only do a good job in patient admission and nursing, but also assist doctors to do a good job in patient circulation.

Recently, the number of imported patients from abroad has increased significantly, so the public health center has timely deployed nearly 65 medical and nursing backbones to the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, and dynamically adjusted the treatment force according to the patient personnel in the ward. In addition, in view of the characteristics of the recent imported cases abroad, we have continuously adjusted treatment measures, strengthened humanized services, and improved the level of treatment from mental health, language translation, diet management, batch treatment and other aspects. After the new crown patients are cured and discharged from the hospital, they will continue to do a good job in health management and follow-up observation of discharged patients.

At present, it is a season of high incidence of colds, and doctors advise discharged patients to do a good job in their own health management and try to avoid colds. Experts pointed out that the new crown virus is mainly to infringe on the human lungs and respiratory system, although the patient has been cured, but still can not ignore the protection of the respiratory system, reduce secondary damage. When going out, it is even more important to pay attention to wearing masks and take protective measures.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the number of people returning from abroad is gradually increasing, and many imported patients from abroad are infected with the new crown on the way back to China due to negligence. Therefore, experts suggest that returnees should do a good job of personal protection during the journey, do a good job of hand hygiene in time, and carry hand sanitizer with conditions. Some young people feel that the body is good, refuse to eat on the way back to China for a long time, experts remind this move is not advisable, long-term non-eating is easy to cause a decline in body immunity, but increase the risk of infection; on the basis of doing a good job of hand disinfection, maintain normal nutritional intake, and conditionally can also supplement some fruits rich in vitamin C.
