The temperature of all 78 children returned to normal

In this round of local epidemics in our city, many of the earliest infected people are children, and they are also the first batch of patients admitted to the hospital. As of 00:00 on January 16, there were 78 confirmed cases of children in this round of local epidemic in our city, how are the children treated in designated hospitals? Adapted to life in the hospital? Yesterday morning, the reporter's video link was the pediatric experts of the Municipal Children's Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine who were treating the children in Haihe Hospital. According to reports, as of yesterday morning, the body temperature of 78 children in the hospital has all returned to normal.

Zhai Jia, the leader of the medical team of the Municipal Children's Hospital in Haihe Hospital and the chief physician of the comprehensive internal medicine department of the hospital's Racecourse Branch, introduced that the 78 confirmed children currently in the hospital are mainly 8 to 12 years old, of which the oldest is 14 years old and the youngest is 2 years old. In patients with new coronary pneumonia caused by the Omikejong mutant strain, the symptoms are mainly dry throat, itchy throat and runny nose, and the response to the upper respiratory tract is more obvious, some children have dry cough, and fever is mainly low-grade fever. More than 70 of these children are mild, a few are ordinary, there are no severe and critical illnesses, and there is no significant change in lung imaging.

In the treatment of these children, the team of experts is mainly multidisciplinary and comprehensive, with symptomatic treatment and nutritional support. Because some children are relatively young, from the perspective of caring for patients, they are arranged in the same ward under the premise that the parents' physical conditions allow and the child's condition allows. For this reason, individual children are placed in adult wards, and the team of pediatric specialists not only sees all the children in the pediatric ward every day, but also goes to other wards to diagnose and treat the children.

"It has been almost a week since I arrived at Haihe Hospital, and every day I not only have to examine each small patient in detail, observe their changes in condition, and adjust the treatment plan in time." At the same time, in order to better communicate with children who do not have family members to accompany them, we must also be friends with them and let them actively cooperate with diagnosis and treatment. Zhai Jia said.

"My colleagues and I gave the children a TCM round, and when the pulse was diagnosed, because the child's arm was short and the mouth was short, they all used one finger to cut the pulse, which was professionally called 'one designated three passes'. Moreover, we all have both hands at the same time to diagnose the pulse, so that we can understand the condition in more detail. When we and the children hold hands together, the distance is closer. Li Xinmin, director of the Department of Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said, "Academician Zhang Boli attaches great importance to the role of traditional Chinese medicine, and in just a few days he organized three expert consultations to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan for traditional Chinese medicine and guide the work by telephone." Judging from the current situation, the children have been treated by traditional Chinese medicine to reduce fever more quickly, and the cough symptoms have been significantly reduced. ”

TCM experts have adopted a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, one person, one strategy treatment plan for the child, highlighting individualized treatment, and Chinese medicine decoction is also one person. The decoction is indeed a bit bitter, but the children are particularly well-behaved and very cooperative, and most children can take Chinese medicine.

Li Xinmin said: "I said to them, I will prescribe you some Chinese medicine in a moment, the soup medicine tastes really bitter, but it can cure the disease and help us get out of the hospital early." Shall we be stronger? Can I eat it? The kids always sensibly say, OK! Although the children could not see our faces, I could feel their trust. ”

Some of the children in the ward did not have their parents by their side, but the angels in white gave them meticulous care. Children vary in age, so the needs are not the same. Many older children come in with their mobile phones and can video with their parents at any time. But in order to give the children enough rest, nurses will ask them not to use electronics for too long. During the day when work is not busy, nurses will use their workstation mobile phones to video children and parents who do not have mobile phones. Nurses on duty at night often stay up all night, coaxing younger children to sleep, and after falling asleep, they also have to go back and forth to cover the children with quilts.

Although most children are living alone away from home for the first time, the cooperation and understanding of the children exceed the expectations of pediatric experts. Zhai Jia said that children are far more sensible than parents think, and parents are afraid that their children are both scared and nervous in the hospital, which is not the case. A child once said: "Although there is no father and mother around this time, the nurse aunt and uncle can help themselves to do a lot of things, feeding, pouring water, washing clothes... Feel like they're as warm as Mom and Dad. "Of course, medical staff will also observe the children's emotional changes at any time, do simple psychological counseling at any time, and if they find that the child's mood is not good, they will also find a psychologist for counseling in time."
